The Kodiaks used to be called The Bears, but there was already a big band called The Bears so it was changed to The Kodiaks (the biggest bear). The band practiced for a while and then recorded some songs on a computer. The first demos were passed out at their shows and people seemed to like them. Two of the members left to pursue other interests and were soon replaced and the focus on recording continued.
