In a field crowded with fine, adventurous new rock ’n’ roll bands that made their homes in Los Angeles between ’78–82, Code Blue stood out from the pack. This was a no-nonsense unit, without pomposity or cuteness. They were unique at a time when most bands wore their influences and commercial ambitions on their sleeves. Those who caught the original lineup in small clubs were struck by their power an passionate delivery of great songs. Leader/guitarist Dean Chamberlain had been a founding member of the original Motels with Martha Davis.
