Last month Bathetic Records released a split cassette featuring Cleveland’s Cloud Nothings and our Campfires. Yes a cassette tape, and that lo-fi hiss lends itself nicely to the laidback ‘60’s folkadelic style. It was printed in an edition of 100 and has already sold out. This follows closely on the heels of their cassette ep, Burning Rivers, TV Flickers, Drifting Off to Bed, that they released through Leftist Nautical Antiques. Campfires is defiantly a band on a mission this year.
These days Hidden Hospitals are anything but while they the kick the promotion for their debut ep "EP 001" in overdrive. The band, containing former members of Damiera and Kiss Kiss, brings a crisp and effective brand of rock oozing with blaring guitars and driving baselines. The band's first single "Swan Dive" is a soaring anthem that has turned more than a few heads. The four piece band is guided by the wide range in the vocals of David Raymond. His vocals shift effortlessly from hush swoon to forcefully scream through the ep. For a band that only played their first live show in September of last year, EP 001 is an extremely polished effort.
