How to Socialise & Make Friends by Camp Cope
How to Socialise & Make Friends is an album by Camp Cope, released in 2018. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “The Opener”, on 1 list with a best position of #58.
How to Socialise & Make Friends, Camp Cope's second album, came out on Poison City Records on 2 March 2018 and debuted at number 6 on the ARIA chart, not bad for a Melbourne trio that had only formed in 2015. Georgia Maq sings and plays guitar, with bassist Kelso and drummer Sarah Thompson locked in behind her, and the production barely gets in the way: it sounds like three people in a room playing live, rough edges and all.
Maq calls the band's sound power emo, and that fits. Her melodies are bittersweet, but the songs keep boiling over into catharsis and fury halfway through, her voice raw and magnetic on "The Opener", "Anna" and "Sagan-Indiana". Music Victoria nominated it for Best Album and Best Rock/Punk Album, and the band took home Best Band at the same ceremony; it was also up for Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards.
