ROCOCODE is an unfamiliar band made up of familiar faces. Dueling boy/girl lead vocals of Laura Smith and Andrew Braun are surrounded and supported by a punishing rhythm section of Shaun Huberts and Johnny Andrews. Their bold take on indie pop is equal parts arty, accessible, sexy, sweet, badass, bent and beautiful. The band’s members boast an impressive collective resume that reads like a who’s who of the burgeoning Canadian Indie scene.

ROCOCODE is an unfamiliar band made up of familiar faces. Dueling boy/girl lead vocals of Laura Smith and Andrew Braun are surrounded and supported by a punishing rhythm section of Shaun Huberts and Johnny Andrews. Their bold take on indie pop is equal parts arty, accessible, sexy, sweet, badass, bent and beautiful. The band’s members boast an impressive collective resume that reads like a who’s who of the burgeoning Canadian Indie scene. They have spent years honing their craft on the road with the likes of Tegan & Sara, Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, Said the Whale, Elias and many more. For their yet to be released debut Guns, Sex and Glory the band teamed up with producer Ryan Guldemond of Mother Mother and strung together a collection of surprisingly catchy songs that explore a full gamut of sonic possibilities but still stand together as a cohesive whole.

Fields of Green is a young, eclectic rock quartet reigning from Kelowna, BC. With sounds spanning from Alternative to folk rock, this foursome is gaining momentum in the BC music scene. The band's eccentric yet aggressive live performance continues to capture the hearts of listeners. Formed in spring of 2008, the band has toured BC twice, released a full-length Album, and performed for thousands. True to their craft, each member brings an influence of their own. While the sounds of Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Mute Math, and Elliott Smith may be touched upon, Fields of Green create a unique and honest live experience. Be it the monster percussion of Johnny Jansen, the mad structure of Kevin Dreger, the true lows of Connor Tkach, or the beautiful wailing of Kyle Tubbs, Fields of Green have touched on something exciting. And they are more than willing to share that with the rest of the world.

Emerging from the shambolic ocean of wild youth comes Kingdom Cloud, a three-piece pop group based in Kelowna, British Columbia. Formed during a hot summer of sand and surf, these three pop ambassadors are tied together by both family and friendship. The band consists of Laura Jeffery on drums, Jaedan Leimert on bass and synthesizer, and Evan Jeffery on vocals, guitar, and synthesizer. Together, they make pop music that will fill the deepest cavern of your heart with electric sound.
