And now they’re looking for the support of their home fans to win the chance to play at Hertfordshire’s Slam Dunk South Festival 2018, alongside headliners including Good Charlotte and Jimmy Eat World.

Frontman and guitarist Charlie Gabriel said: “I’ve been going to the Slam Dunk festival for the past eight years and the artists I’ve seen on stage there are who inspired me to start my own ska-punk band.

“The fact that we now have this opportunity to play on the same stage is mind blowing – winning this competition would be a dream come true.

“Please take a second to vote for us and help us get there. It would really mean the world to us.”

Codename Colin will be performing for free on the Rainbow Stage in Hemel town centre on Sunday April 22 to rally local support.
