Code of Ethics
Years active 1991 – 1999
Labels R.E.X. Music,
Forefront Records
This article is about a Christian Rock band. For actual codes of ethics, see ethical code.

Code of Ethics formed in the early '90s with Barry Blaze and Eric Switzer. The duo released Visual Paradox on R.E.X. Music in 1991. Their sound was a captivating blend that sounded like Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails and it was quickly brought to the attention of Forefront Records/EMI, who bought their contract from R.E.X. Music.

With a new label came new pressures and Eric decided to exit the band. Rick Brainer, Scott "Skippy" Chapman, and Scot Kifer then joined for a self-titled sophomore album released in 1993, and garnered their first #1 single at radio, "Something Real". Kifer left by the end of the year. Later, Jeff Anderson would join for 1995's Arms Around the World, an album that would not only give Code two more #1's, but also let Code of Ethics receive its first Gospel Music Award Nomination in 1997.

In late 1996, the band came off the road for various reasons concerning family and health problems. It was then that Barry Blaze recruited Charles Garrett, Jerry Mowrey, and Steve Dale. The trio recorded Soulbait for a 1997 release.

In early 1998, Skippy and Rick Brainer came back and made up the last Code of Ethics lineup. The band went ahead and recorded "Blaze", and the band was nominated for its second Gospel Music Award in 2000.

Code of Ethics has also released a remix album entitled Mix (1992) remixed by Barry and Ian Eskelin' and a remix album called Extended Play Remixes (1994) remixed by DJ Scott Blackwell.
