The Campaign

Nothing that comes easily is ever worth anything

About Me

As a result of the boring music scene in their hometown of Romford – The Campaign was born in 2006. United by a love of 70’s Punk and New Wave, the boys took their energetic brand of Punk-Pop to venues around Essex and London, delighting crowds in such venues as Islington Academy, 93 Feet East, The Metro, Water Rats, Catch, The Buffalo Bar, Chinnerys, The Victoria and The Bull and Gate – who introduced them as:

"Driven New wave... The Buzzcocks Cure and raw garage explode in a monochrome firework"

The last year has seen the boys go from strength to strength. Supporting Boy Kill Boy, Baddies, The Others, Adam Ficek (Babyshambles) and The Ads…gigs that have ensured they have added to their growing fan base.

Notorious criminal Charles Bronson is known to be a fan.

The EP 'True Reflctions' is on sale now @ Bubblegum Records, Southend.
