CAMP COPE

Camp Cope was an Australian alternative rock band formed in 2015 in Melbourne, Victoria. The group consisted of lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Georgia "Georgia Maq" McDonald, bassist Kelly-Dawn "Kelso" Hellmrich, and drummer Sarah "Thomo" Thompson. The band was signed to the independent Melbourne label Poison City Records, where Thompson also worked, and their releases were distributed in North America and Europe by the independent Boston label Run for Cover Records. In February 2023, Camp Cope announced their disbandment with a series of final performances. Their music has been described as "part Courtney Barnett, part Juliana Hatfield," and as "melodic, uplifting and aching." Georgia Maq described the band's sound as "power emo."
