Biography

Born out of a makeshift bottle rocket in some suburban pyromaniac brat’s backyard, Camp Clover is the new roof-burning riot in the sky. Based in Kansas City, MO, Spade, Ashley Miller and Simon Huntley formed in chaos on October 31st 2020 later to be joined by Alec Nicholas May 24th 2021. The group’s initiating project, a punk inspired reinvention of the hip-hop classic “Goosebumps,” led to a magnetic buzz between the bandmates to create and experience more. Thus the lore of a curious summer camp planted on haunted ground emerged over sautéed poblanos, sparking the concept that would become the band’s fueling foundation. Putting one foot in the members’ own anecdotes of life and the other in the lives of misfit kids that roam Camp Clover, “Kiss & Run” became the first single from this freakish disorienting world. Whether screamed at negligent parents or any shithead that crosses your path, this song rings loud and clear as the fuck you anthem of the summer filled to the brim with I-don’t-need-anyone-but-me. Peering further into the magic of bonfires and ghost stories passed from scout mouth to mouth, the band’s latest single “Good as Dead” tells a haunt of it’s own, shedding firelight on the grim disappearances of the camp kids and the menacing operation grinding behind the scenes. Cartwheeling with tongues to the wind, the band’s chaos beams along side Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent and Perfume Genius in the exploration of Chamber pop within their upcoming album.
