In March 2012 Transcoder released a video clip for their song ‘Fading Flame’, starring singer and radio/tv presenter Roos Van Acker.
The band released their first EP this was made together with musician and producer Luc Van Acker (famous in a former life as Mr. Revolting Cock and the counterpart of Anna Domino in ‘Zana’)
Band members are inspired by bands such as The Stooges, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Radiohead and many many more.
In addition, their iPods are dominated by blues, garage punk, new wave, stoner rock and grunge (except for the bass player who is still saving up for his first portable music player).
