Caamp. An acronym that not a lot of people know, stands for Consuming abnormal amounts of Makers and PBR. It’s also the name of the Ohioan musician trio Caamp.
When you go to a Caamp show, you do exactly as their acronym name suggests. Sure, the show is bound to be somewhat blurred, but the band’s banjo plucking, guitar riffs, and raspy yet soothing vocals, poignantly remain and rattle around in your hungover brain. Caamp puts on one hell of a live show, and their new album By and By is no different.
By and By, which just dropped last Friday on Momma and Papa records, is an emotional roller coaster. Experimental guitar and banjo playing quickly thrust you through a frenzy of wild turns, and lush harmonies and lyricism take you through lofty loops and dips until you come to a sudden drop with the adolescent love-themed track “Peach Fuzz”.
