CODS was created by Ripchord, NTL, and Von Boc in 2001. The collaboration was highly influenced by industrial bands like KMFDM, Ministry, and Nine Inch Nails. The first independent release entitled, "Indoor Recess" was released in January 2004 on ForaNatioN. It features 10 tracks and was engineered, mixed, and co-produced at Slaughterhouse recording studio by Mark Alan Miller (Out Out, Metropolis Records). After an extremely positive reaction from the public, they made the crucial decision to form a solid live band and take the music to the highest levels of success. CODS has grown into a full lineup of excellent, devoted musicians who all actively involve themselves with the writing of songs. "Outdoor Recess" (remix album of "Indoor Recess") was released in September 2005. It features 15 tracks which were remixed by members of CODS and other bands and artists that they have become friends with along the way. They are searching for the right record label to help further their success. CODS are currently working on "CODS 2" and will be releasing the album in late 2006, so keep an eye out for updates by checking right here at Myspace or the official website, www.circusofdeadsquirrels.com.
