Sounding across the Georgia Straight, comes the bimunicpal Rococode with Empire from Guns, Sex and Glory.
Featuring experienced members from both Vancouver and Victoria, the band has taken lessons learned from playing with Said the Whale, Tegan and Sarah, and Hannah Georgas to new vistas.
Swapping vocal duties, Laura Smith and Andrew Braun craft a sprawling synth-laden poppy tune with gritty undertones and anthemic lyrics of adoration.
