7 Layer Smile began in 2009 when Vic and Kohei met at UBC and discovered a mutual love of guitar oriented rock music. They found a rhythm section and played a few shows as "The Rain". When their drummer quit the band, Dave, who was fresh out of a cover project and looking for the challenge of original music, joined the fray and the moniker "7 Layer Smile" was adopted.
In 2011, after several successful shows, the group underwent another personnel change when their bassist left to pursue other musical endeavors. This opened the door for Dan to step in and add his rhythmic vision to the mix. After spending a year writing and recording their debut EP, the band stands poised to take on the Vancouver music scene. With songs consisting of hard edged guitar riffs and harmonic melodies, 7 Layer Smile looks to redefine the "Indie" label by refusing to be pigeonholed into a single genre. Experimentation with new ideas remains a basic tenet of their mission: to bring forth a unique sound and never look back.
