Kody Yardley

Kody Yardley (born April 11th, 1984) is a musician in Salt Lake City, UT.

At the age of 12 he picked up a guitar for the first time. By the age of 15 he began to write songs which would eventually become songs for the first incarnation of Brodie, which consisted of himself, high school friend Kellen Jones, brother Kasey Yardley, and Matt Humes.



Sometime during the end of high school, he began to write with Anthony LaGuardia and Matt Humes to write some new songs which would eventually be used for the second incarnation of Brodie, which consisted of Matt, Kody, Anthony, and Charles Humes. They recorded an album called Bhodhisattva, You Create. It was around this time that Kody hatched Sandbaby, a solo project. The first, self-titled album was recorded at Matt's studio in Walsburg some time around 2002-2003

After the eventual disbandment of Brodie, Kody started another band with ex-bandmate Anthony, his other younger brother Kirby Yardley, with Aaron Evans on drums called Ultima. Ultima was just as short-lived as Brodie and didn't record an album. It was around this time that Kody recorded the next two Sandbaby albums, The Audiotrap (2004) and Wake Up (2005). During these years, Kody also joined up with Brad Evans to form the songwriting duo Andreas.

In 2010, he released another album under the Sandbaby name entitled Earthsick.

In 2011 Kody played bass/guitar, sang, and contributed some material to The Lunatic. They released their debut album Milk in April of 2011.

In 2016 Kody Yardley released a new album entitled Imploding Head Syndrome.
