http://virb.com/killedatcamp Killed At Camp was a screamy indie rock band that formed among college friends in Wheeling, WV in 1998. Members had been in previous WV bands such as Five Minute Conspiracy, Hawthorne, and Egress. The sound was a disjointed configuration of sounds ranging from early '90's screamo, metal, glam rock, noise, and hardcore. Influences on this band may have included such acts as Harriet the Spy, Fugazi, At The Drive-In, The Party Of Helicopters, T Rex, Lifetime, and Grain. The band released 2 CD-R's on the band members' lo-fi label, Cole Slaw Recordings. The first CDEP, Bingo Chips for Execution, circulated about 100 handmade copies, and the second release, the full length Eating Cake and Playing, had a handmade pressing of about 200 copies. Both releases were recorded in college dormitories at Wheeling Jesuit University. Killed At Camp enjoyed a growing local and regional following and played shows with such notable bands as The Dismemberment Plan, Zao, The Movielife, Ann Beretta, Error Type 11, Piebald, New Found Glory, Saves the Day, New Terror Class, The Party of Helicopters, and Kill Your Idols. Undoubtedly, the highpoint of the band's live performance list was an April 2000 appearance with Shaggy in their hometown of Wheeling. The band hit the road for a completely wretched tour with friends Horns to the Matador in August of 2000. It was on this tour that Killed At Camp played its final show to about 20 people in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Members of Killed At Camp went on to play in bands such as The Minus Tide, Drown Culture, Trial By Fire, The Loved Ones, and COBRA. The Norfolk, VA cassette label GOEMBESSA has (or has had) plans to release a Killed At Camp discography cassette with both albums remastered and new artwork. A celebratory reunion show to mark the discography's release is not completely out of the question.]]> Virb 2.0 (@killedatcamp) en http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43705 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:57:32 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43705 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43703 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:55:24 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43703 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43701 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:51:26 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43701 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43698 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:46:51 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43698 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43697 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:42:27 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43697 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43696 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:37:37 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43696 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43688 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:31:59 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43688 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43681 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:28:53 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43681 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43680 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:27:44 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43680 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43661 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:21:16 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43661 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43650 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:14:50 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43650 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43644 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:11:30 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43644 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43640 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:08:25 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43640 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43636 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:05:40 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43636 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43633 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:03:45 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43633 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43631 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:00:55 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/audio/43631 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173887 ]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:49:56 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173887 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173886 ]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:49:52 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173886 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173884 ]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:49:47 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173884 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173883 ]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:49:44 -0700 http://virb.com/killedatcamp/photos/1173883
