Camp Cope - S/T (April 22, 2016) Album

New record from this indie/punk trio from my hometown of Melbourne and it's really knocked me on my ass.

For fans of Speedy Ortiz, Waxahatchee, Modern Baseball (who they played with in Melb), Julien Baker, DIY etc etc. Check it out, I really think it will end up being one of the best LPs of the year:

 

This really came out of nowhere. I just randomly saw Modern Baseball retweet something about them and decided to give this a listen. Can't stop listening and now I want to tell everyone around me how good this is.

 

Listening to this now, and I can tell I'm gonna become addicted to this. Thank you!

 

I'm floored by this release, really incredible. the songwriting throughout is killer but Flesh and Electricity just reaches another level.

 

I heard about this band from Soupy. This is a must listen! Beautiful record.

 

was this taken down from Apple Music? I stupidly unadded it this morning because I wanted to keep it at the top of my new releases (it's a thing) and now it's gone?! SOS

 

probably means they got signed to a new label in the US

 

good for them! purchasing digitally off bandcamp in the meantime, I can't get enough of this.

 

don't hold me to it, that's just my guess, usually whenever something leaves a streaming site it has to do with a change of distributors or rights. with the hype it makes sense

 

I mean it makes sense, it's happened before with releases that are getting the remaster treatment or new signings.

 

don't worry everyone. it's back up now, that was odd.

 

I only listened to this once or twice when it first when up on streaming, but it was excellent. I need to listen to it some more.

 

Yeah, this album is something else, man. Really diggin' it.

 

damn did they really do a shout out to WHY? with the funeral line on west side story?

 

i'm getting HEAVY hop along painted shut vibes. really love the bass on this.

 

Yeah, I got big time Hop Along vibes too.

 

tried listening to this. feels like a female led, less dynamic smith street band. it's alright, don't love it though

 

this album has the best use of a bass guitar i've heard from a "punk" album this year. the whole release is unbelievable. God I love it.

 

Stoked that this release seems to be getting a bit of attention, pretty huge for a tiny little Melbourne DIY band. I really like the storytelling element to the lyrics, definitely gives me a strong Hop Along vibe in that sense.

 

Been listening to this album non-stop since discovering it earlier this week. Is there a way to get the CD in the U.S. without paying outrageous shipping charges?

 

I'm obsessed with this performance from a couple weeks ago. This record might be my AOTY so far.

 

I really hope they make it overseas for some US shows sometime. A Smith Street Band/Camp Cope tour bill would be just perfect.

 

This is real great

 

Revisiting this record today and wow, I should have done so sooner.

 

people need to wake up and listen to Camp Cope, this thing is so freaking good.
