In mid 2001, the original 3-piece line up of The Codebreakers was formed. Consisting of Jim (vocals, guitar), Rob (bass) and Anton (drums). The Codebreakers were ready to unleash their own energetic brand of indie pop/rock on Melbourne.

Playing their first gig in May 2002, The Codebreakers have raised a few eyebrows with their eclectic sounds. Receiving such diverse comparisons as The Jam, The Velvet Underground, New Order & The Beach Boys has kept the boy's amused and a few punter's confused. Despite this, there is a distinct thread that run's through all the material.

Having planned on becoming a 4-piece from the beginning, Sam walked into the picture in ate-2002. As always happens with a new member, the sound is changing and The Codebreakers are brewing a new, fuller sound.
