Backstory:
Webbed Manager was born out of the ever-vibrant, chaotic rhythms of Portland’s underground music scene in the late 2000s. The band consists of four members: lead vocalist and bassist, Caleb Banks, guitarist Peter Adams, keyboardist Sarah Kim, and drummer Mike Webster. All four were working as managers in the online industry and met at a tech conference, discovering a shared love for music. The name “Webbed Manager” is an inside joke, a nod to their tech background and the intricate web of management they navigate daily. They started jamming together after work, and after a few viral performances on YouTube, they quit their day jobs and decided to pursue music full-time.

Indie Rock/Synth Pop
Song Title:
“Code of Silence”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G D A
Whispers in the server room, secrets in the code,
Em G D A
Hidden in the algorithms, stories untold.
Em G D A
Running through the firewall, down the binary road,
Em G D A
In the silence of the cyberspace, our tales unfold.
(Chorus)
Em G D A
Break the code of silence, let our voices be heard,
Em G D A
In a world of ones and zeros, let our stories stir.
Em G D A
Riding on the Wi-Fi waves, through the Ethernet’s curve,
Em G D A
Together we’ll break the code of silence, in the digital world.
(Verse 2)
Em G D A
In the web of the manager, dreams are spun and twirled,
Em G D A
The rhythm of the keystrokes, a symphony unfurled.
Em G D A
Pixelated emotions, love, anger, unfurled,
Em G D A
In the code of silence, we find our world.
(Chorus)
Em G D A
Break the code of silence, let our voices be heard,
Em G D A
In a world of ones and zeros, let our stories stir.
Em G D A
Riding on the Wi-Fi waves, through the Ethernet’s curve,
Em G D A
Together we’ll break the code of silence, in the digital world.

Testimonial:
“I’ve been a fan of Webbed Manager ever since their first viral performance on YouTube. As a software engineer, their music speaks to me on a whole different level. Their brilliant blend of indie rock with synth pop, combined with lyrics that encapsulate our modern digital experience, is what sets them apart. Each song takes me on a journey, from the server rooms to the deepest recesses of the Internet. Their song ‘Code of Silence’ in particular, is a testament to their profound understanding of our digital world. Webbed Manager isn’t just a band to me, it’s a musical representation of my life and work.”
