History

Dukowski wanted to start playing again so he began playing with a drummer in December 2012.^[3][2] He invited his wife, Lora Norton, to contribute vocals^[3] and after a few years his step-son Milo Gonzalez^[1] joined as guitarist at the age of sixteen.^[2]

Dukowski has said that CD6 is the most collaborative band he has been in since Würm with each member having a say in songwriting^[1] although Lora handles the lyric writing.^[2]

The band's first album, Eat My Life, was released on Dukowski's own label Nice & Friendly Records.^[8] A second album, Reverse the Polarity, was also released on Nice & Friendly Records. In 2010, Jeff Bowers of ORG Music persuaded the band to join his label.^[1] After joining, CD6 released a split 7-inch with Mike Watt + The Missingmen.^[1][9] A third album, Haunted, was released on ORG.^[1]
