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,[1] and independent Boston label Run for Cover Records distributed their releases in North America and Europe.[2] In February 2023, Camp Cope announced their imminent disbandment with a series of final performances.[3]
Camp Cope's music has been described as "part Courtney Barnett, part Juliana Hatfield",[4] and "melodic, uplifting and aching".[5] Georgia Maq herself, meanwhile, described the band's sound as "power emo".[6] In 2019, Happy Mag listed them at number 3 on their list of "the 15 Australian female artists changing the game right now".[7]
