Who are they?
They’ve been described as having an angst-ridden sound, sitting somewhere between confessional folk-punk and lo-fi pop-punk. Melbourne trio Camp Cope broke into the Australian mainstream in 2018 with their top ten-charting sophomore album How to Socialise & Make Friends. Following their first headlining American tour they returned in early 2022 to release their third LP, ‘Running with the Hurricane.’

The group also won Best Emerging Act at the 2016 The Age Music Victoria Awards and in 2019, Happy Mag listed them at no.3 on their list of “the 15 Australian female artists changing the game.”
