Camp Cope - Camp Cope - VINYL LP

How To Socialise & Make Friends anchors on the cycles of life, loss, and growth through resilience, and those moments of finding and being yourself. The title track and InchAnimal and RealInch celebrate the joys of being an independent unit and knowing who you are without any influencing external factors, while InchAnnaInch and InchSagan-IndianaInch speak to the love you feel towards friends - the women who shape you and work together to find strength in numbers. InchThe Face of GodInch is a raw account of sexual assault and the feelings of isolation that follow, and album closer InchI've Got YouInch showcases vocalist and guitarist Georgia Maq solo, singing of her late father's battle with cancer and their close friendship that prevails, even in death. Throughout the nine songs on How To Socialise & Make Friends, it becomes clear that if their 2016 self-titled debut was the flame, this is Camp Cope rising from the ashes, stronger and more focused than ever.

On October 13, 2023, Melbourne's own Camp Cope bid farewell with one final performance in front of an adoring, sold-out crowd at the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. Two years later, Run For Cover & Poison City Records have released The Final Show - Live at Sydney Opera House to commemorate this special moment of the band performing live for the last time. The vinyl version of this features nine songs from the final performance, including tracks from each of the band's adored albums. This includes songs like InchLost (Season One)Inch from their self-titled debut, along with tracks from 2018's How to Socialise Make Friends and their 2022 swan song Running with the Hurricane. All of the pieces that make Camp Cope's music so special are here - bass player Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich & Sarah Thompson's drums once again fit perfectly together, with guitarist Jennifer Aslett providing even more moods behind vocalist Georgia Maq's signature voice. The band isn't alone, either - Julia Jacklin joins in on InchThe Screaming PlanetInch and a chorus of friends like Rin McArdle and Courtney Hartmann join in to sing-along on InchSing Your Heart OutInch Camp Cope fittingly closes this final performance with InchThe OpenerInch - a song inspired by the unfortunate experience of being a band trying to fit into a sexist, male-dominated music scene. Hellmrich's unmistakable bass line opens this final, expanded version of the song, which the band plays for over ten minutes. Joined by a chorus of friends on stage and an entire opera house filled with fans singing along, the song's final lyrics about being initially dismissed feel like a prophecy fulfilled - Inchsee how far we've come not listening to you.Inch Album Tracks 1. Done (Live at Sydney Opera House) 2. Blue (Live at Sydney Opera House) 3. Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams (Live at Sydney Opera House) 4. The Screaming P

Running With The Hurricane finds Camp Cope on the other side of a storm. The third LP from Melbourne trio Georgia Maq, Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich and Sarah Thompson is about what happens after chaos hits; when you've walked through the fire and come out stronger, calmer and happier than ever before. The band's last album, 2018's How To Socialise And Make Friends, put Camp Cope under an intense spotlight. That allowed the trio to say what they needed to but both professionally and in their personal lives, they're in a very different place this time around. On Running With The Hurricane, Maq (songwriter, vocals, piano, acoustic & electric guitar), Hellmrich (bass guitar) and Thompson (drums) are older, wiser and happier. It's an album that is gentler than what they have done before, more positive and more at peace with the universe. Because as Georgia Maq sings on the album's title track, sometimes InchThe only way out is upInch.While the Big Stuff of this album is all about growth, overcoming and pushing through the pain, the little details are still quintessentially Camp Cope. Running With The Hurricane reflects on faltered romances, secret crushes and vibrating with the confidence that makes you feel like you're on fire. It's about taking comfort in knowing who you are, feeling yourself and returning, always, to the city of Melbourne. Album Tracks 1. Caroline 2. Running with the Hurricane 3. One Wink at a Time 4.
