Restricted Code enjoyed fantastic critical success and something of a ‘cult’ following in the early 1980s. Sounds music paper claimed they delivered the “best gig of 1981” and there were rave reviews and features in magazines including NME, The Face and Melody Maker. As one of the hottest up-and-coming bands around one memorable gig in London saw a who’s who of musical faces in the audience including Debbie Harry, John Peel, Julian Cope and the Sex Pistols. The band split up late in 1981, perhaps down to the pressures of not achieving breakthrough success despite such critical acclaim. After releasing some new music digitally in 2020, the band are back with a brand new album recorded in 2024/2025 released via LNFG Cartel in 28 November 2025. A strictly limited edition Yellow Vinyl with signed insert will be available in a quantity of 100 and is available to pre-order now!
