Camp Cope

Camp Cope were an Australian alternative rock band formed in 2015 in Melbourne, Victoria. The group's lineup consisted of lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Georgia "Georgia Maq" McDonald, bassist Kelly-Dawn "Kelso" Hellmrich, and drummer Sarah "Thomo" Thompson. The band were signed with independent Melbourne label Poison City Records, where Thompson also works, and independent Boston label Run for Cover Records distributed their releases in North America and Europe. In February 2023, Camp Cope announced their imminent disbandment with a series of final performances.Camp Cope's music has been described as "part Courtney Barnett, part Juliana Hatfield", and "melodic, uplifting and aching". Georgia Maq herself, meanwhile, described the band's sound as "power emo". In 2019, Happy Mag listed them at no.3 on their list of "the 15 Australian female artists changing the game right now".
