FFO – Intoitoverit, Death cab For Cutie, Modern Baseball, Frightened Rabbit, The Get Up Kids, The Beach Boys
Campfire Social are a constantly evolving 12 legged gang of friends that can mine the best bits of The Weakerthans, Los Campesinos! or The Get Up Kids from song to song. Or all at once. Depending on their mood.
Masters of the introspective, listen-to-while-looking-out-of-a-rain-streaked-train-window heartstring pulling anthem, their songs can flick a switch between 80s UK kitchen sink indie to 2000s Midwest Emo in a broken heartbeat.
Having already made a name for themselves on the scene by gigging whenever and wherever they can.
Their debut album was released in August of 2024 followed by appearances at New Colossus festival (NY) and SXSW (TX) in 2025.
The band has received some well-deserved recognition from some influential names in the UK DIY music scene. Featured on the end of year round ups of Adam Walton (BBC Wales), Rock Current (podcast) and Drunk on Music (Blog), a live session with Janice Long and further BBC 6 music plays. The first single release from the album was A listed on BBC Wales for two consecutive weeks.
