Royal Coda

Royal Coda is an American rock band based in Sacramento, California, founded by lead guitarist Sergio Medina. They are known for their amalgamation of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and post-hardcore. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Kurt Travis, guitarists Sergio Medina and Will Swan, bass guitarist Steffen Gotsch, and drummer Joel Turcotte. After the dissolution of the post-hardcore band Stolas, Medina formed Royal Coda as a project to experiment with new writing styles outside of his typical routine. After former A Lot Like Birds members Travis and Arrington joined the group, they recorded their self-titled debut album, Royal Coda, which was released in April 2018 on Blue Swan Records. In 2019, the band recruited Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Will Swan and touring bass guitarist Steffen Gotsch, releasing their sophomore studio album, Compassion, in November to critical acclaim. In 2020, the group recorded their third album To Only A Few At First, which was released on Blue Swan and Rise Records in August 2022. In December 2022, Medina confirmed via Instagram that Arrington had retired from music altogether.
