About
Camp Cope, the Australian trio known for their punk-tinged rock sound and introspective lyrics, delivered a powerful performance at a recent Tiny Desk concert. The significance of their appearance was highlighted by singer Georgia "Maq" McDonald's comment about the band's atypical quiet moment during the show.
One of the standout moments was their performance of "The Face of God," a haunting song from their debut album, "How to Socialise & Make Friends," which delves into themes of loneliness and the aftermath of sexual violence. The track showcased Maq's emotional vocals and the band's ability to tackle complex and poignant subject matter in their music.
Formed in Melbourne in 2015, Camp Cope consists of Georgia Maq, bassist Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich, and drummer Sarah Thompson. Their music has been likened to a blend of Courtney Barnett and Juliana Hatfield, with a sound that Maq describes as "power emo." Camp Cope has received recognition for their melodic yet profound music, with Happy Mag naming them as one of the top Australian female artists shaping the music scene.
In February 2023, Camp Cope announced their disbandment, marking the end of an era for the band. Their Tiny Desk concert was a testament to their unique musical style and ability to address important social issues through their heartfelt songs.
