Indie-punk trio CAMP COPE have released their brilliant S/T debut album today via Poison City Records after a jam packed couple of weeks – their Melbourne album launch sold out a month in advance, Rolling Stone hosted the first listen of their album and they have had more praise from Twitter-users gone wild around the world than one poor publicist could possibly favourite.
CAMP COPE, born in a backyard over home job tattoos in 2015, formed to add body and beat to singer Georgia Maq’s solo work. The eight tracks on CAMP COPE’s debut, including the heartbreaking ‘Lost: Season One’ and the celebrated lead single ‘Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Beams’ (which made the front page of Reddit), discuss real life working shifts in a hospital, living in rundown share houses in Footscray and what it’s like to be a woman in the world. Their soulful, indie-punk played under Maq’s robust voice have made it okay to enjoy feeling angst again.
