Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Music

Joshua Boydston

Oklahoma City DJ duo Kids at the Bar has many memories over the course of two full tours with Swedish indie rockers The Sounds, one across America and another currently in Europe. Explaining the rules of football ranks among the pair’s favorites … and weirdest.
