Restricted Code

Restricted Code was a Scottish post punk band formed in the Easterhouse area of Glasgow in 1979 originally by Tom Cannavan, Frank Quadrelli, Kenny Blythe and Robert McCormick. Motivation for the band was boredom with life and the Glasgow Music Scene.

After a 36-year hiatus, three of the original four members got back together: songwriting partnership Tom and Frank, and Kenny Blythe on bass. They brought in old friend Les Gaff, formerly with fellow Glaswegian band, Positive Noise, on drums. Six month’s later, the band bumped into original drummer Robert Mccormick, now a keyboard player. Robert is now playing with the Codes too, and they’re loving playing together again.

Peel seemed to have discovered the band in the spring of 1980 via the various artists compilation album, Second City Statik - A Glasgow Compilation. He would play further tracks from the group on his shows, including a session recorded for his programme in 1981. He also saw them perform at the London Embassy Club in April 1981.
