New York City’s KILLCODE has never been one to play it safe, and their latest release proves it. The five-piece rock outfit returns in 2026 with ‘RIDE (DJ Johnny Juice High Roller Remix)’, a daring cross-genre collaboration with Public Enemy’s DJ Johnny Juice, turning one of the band’s most defiant tracks into a genre-bending powerhouse.
Rooted in Southern-infused hard rock and metal, KILLCODE has spent years refining a sound built on adrenaline-charged riffs, melodic yet aggressive vocals, and a live presence that commands attention. Frontman Tom Morrissey and guitarist Chas, alongside veterans of the New York rock underground, have shared stages with Godsmack and Sevendust, headlined iconic venues like Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom, and brought their high-octane shows to international festivals across Europe, the UK, and Mexico.
Their self-titled album reached #2 on Billboard’s Mid-Atlantic Heatseekers Chart, while tracks like “One Trick Pony”and “Ride” have found placement on The Howard Stern Show, film soundtracks, and major documentaries. With every release, the band has pushed toward heavier, groove-driven territory, merging raw intensity with precision.
DJ Johnny Juice’s remix takes “RIDE” into uncharted territory, fusing gritty, old-school hip-hop beats with KILLCODE’s grunge-tinged guitars and Morrissey’s commanding vocals. The remix doesn’t water down the original – it amplifies it, adding a streetwise weight that underscores the track’s themes of momentum, resilience, and defiance.
“The song is about just taking chances and going all out… and that is what I love about it. Killcode ROCKS.” – DJ Johnny Juice
With music recently featured in a Sylvester Stallone film and a Kevin Smith soundtrack, alongside renewed international press and touring, KILLCODE steps into 2026 louder, heavier, and sharper than ever. “RIDE (High Roller Remix)” is a statement: this is a band that doesn’t follow trends, they carve their own lanes.
