CODED is a new AltRock/ New metal project started by founding member Nic Bester, bringing together years of experience and a definitive primal voice. Having been joined by Charl on guitars, Jacques on drums and Daan on bass, the band delivers crunchy riffs with deep lyrics, driving Nic's vision to be SA's top Alt Rock band. Making music is CODED in the band members DNA, and they work tirelessly to achieve their dream.

This has been said about the band.
"The band displayed professionalism and are clearly well rehearsed. They obviously take what they do seriously. I thought that their ability to showcase a heavier genre of music in an environment like the V&A amphitheater and still hold the crowd's attention was a great indicator that they should win. Their set was well executed and very tight. Good melodies, great overall sound and a clever cover of creed's "higher" kept it interesting. They also looked the part and could back the look up with their musicality. Overall, a great band with a positive future in the game. Congratulations CODED." - Graham Lowndes (The Rescu/Marshall Music)

Garbers is a solo acoustic live-looping artist that uses a guitar and a shaker to live-record beats and rhythms, building creative songs that are full sounding, and entertaining. In 2003, David Garbers began pursuing his musical journey writing songs as a way to journal his life and make something that would outlast him. He found that playing music with friends was a bond that felt a bit deeper. Starting the childhood band USED2Bsyris, the 3 piece rock unit took Garbers north to England where he had a chance encounter with Paul McCartney in 2007, and in retreat for a more stable way of life he studied Audio Engineering in 2008.  He has since toured internationally as a professional sound engineer, played in 7 different bands (most notably 4 piece alternative rock act South of Nine) gaining radio play in South Africa with songs 'Circles' and 'Jozi'. He has performed on stages alongside musical icons in multiple countries and over the years Garbers has not only performed his own music in front of thousands of people, but he won a lottery, relocating him from Johannesburg to Denver, CO in late 2019. Now based in Seattle and armed with his fourth and latest single, ‘Existence’, Garbers hopes to share his story and inspire others to follow their dreams too.
