[@danieleocello39]

I like the "lead melody" role that the bass has in their songs. It makes the song sound kind of thin, but it covers the lack of a lead guitar, and really gives personality to their music

[@cezarstark]

I like it and hate it at the same time, need two basses :P

[@MDCSYD]

Joy Division/ New Order came to mind

[@piglos]

Kelly plays a lot further up the register than I like to, but it works and works well for them as a lead instrument.

[@jimlovesgina]

There is a lack of lead guitar in most music out there so I don't see the big deal.

[@danieleocello39]

@@jimlovesgina nono, not a big deal, but it makes them stand out a lot more in comparison

[@TheSutts12]

As the blessed Father of two beautiful daughters, this fills my heart, heavy but soft, grooves for days Good onya ladies

[@betaguy11]

You can really hear the hop along in her voice and the pinegrove in the guitar playing. I can't believe I hadn't heard of these guys before now... definitely a fan now.

[@ceeb420]

Kelly is my bass idol.

[@tcoker0416]

Kelly is a fucking badass. My inspiration to learn the bass 🤘🏻💛

[@r34perpwnz]

The bass really brings these tracks together for me. I wouldn't have minded if the vocals were a bit higher in the mix though, Georgia Maq has a really powerful voice that should be highlighted. Awesome set nonetheless, I'm pumped for that second LP dropping next year.

[@WilmoTheBear]

Being a "one youtube video at a time" kinda guy, i really, really appreciate, above all else, the super quick and simple intro, then just straight into the music, love it, thanks.

[@dougdevine27]

The drummer's shirt...I had one like that in 1993. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that is indeed my exact shirt. This band kicks major arse!

[@jrwoody000]

Words can't express how much I admire these three. They're going places, fast.

[@ejohnsonious01]

The bass and the guitar are coequal voices and they interact here is really good. Its a great approach for a three piece.

[@jackburton3540]

This band very much reminds me of Dinosaur jr. and I love it. - full sound - peculiar melodic drum rhythms - melodic basslines - rhythmic guitar of sort of made-up chords and little bits of fills here and there Very cool

[@robertrood4728]

Except Dinosaur JR had good drummers, her technique is woeful. Dosent even know the proper way to hold her sticks yet thinks all criticism of her playing is 'misogyny'.

[@niconic3184]

Yeah, except Dinosaur Jr are talented.

[@thatguykalem]

@@robertrood4728ah yes, because famously the quality of a band’s music is dictated by the technical expertise of the members.

[@spencyj]

This is by far the coolest band I've seen in a long time. The song titles and lyrics are so well thought out. Bass carrying the melody and a jazzmaster for the meat of it sounds so original. The drums are all emotion too its unreal. They should be the face of good indie music. So glad i found this band they're like therapy but useful

[@zacharywhitney6957]

So glad they're getting popular here in the states now! such a cool band

[@amandaazevedo6584]

I'm really obsessed with this band. Such amazing lyrics, vocals and melody... Everything fits together so perfectly and Camp Cope's songs give me inspiration and strenght to have a girl* band too! Thank you a lot for this! And thanks Audiotree for another amazing session!

[@piglos]

If this inspires you to get a girl band happening, that's fantastic. They are a great inspiration for others, as are Cable Ties (2 out of 3, bloke on bass), but it's all about expressing yourself with words, music or both. If it's you, be true to yourself and be you

[@lynxiell]

i feel exactly the same

[@Toymachine2207]

This band takes licks and riffs we all know and love, then adds great singing melodies and lyrics that make you think. We need more bands like this.

[@rjtas]

"she's doing something different on the bass, somebody stop her!"

[@FishN_Love]

Alright, I shit you not, your comment is actually the FB banner of the bassist's personnal page

[@xtinternx]

Better yet, get Peter Hook to throw a pint at the haters.

[@paddlepopinator4949]

Almost like making the bass the lead guitar, freshing!

[@jamman1103]

This is honestly the best Audiotree live interview I've ever seen. Awesome band, great interview.

[@RAT_WZRD]

In Maq we trust

[@jeremychamplin1078]

Love the melodic bass lines, voice, and off kilter beats.

[@tombstonechess2231]

3 things, Bassist is amazing. She pretty much carries the sound of this band. The singer has awesome notes belting them out. and finally an Audio Tree interviewer who isn't the most awkward person in the world. I like this band, their sound isn't anything special, but it does everything it needs to do and very well for relaxed easy listening.

[@danielayris3623]

The Insomniac Died yeah she can play a bass so good

[@ericfritz9595]

The Insomniac Died I don't know how you can even really judge the host on this session. She barely interviewed them and the questions that were asked weren't very good

[@Mastaace]

This doesn't do Georgia's voice any justice whatsoever. Check out their tracks on Like A Version. Their debut album was incredibly good. I appreciate Georgia Maq's voice a lot, but her song writing is top notch.

[@dylanplaysthings]

it's easy to play bass when you only have to cover 4 notes

[@piglos]

Flog

[@Grimcrawford]

I've been refreshing the channel page every day waiting for this. I'm so glad it's finally here!

[@amandaazevedo6584]

[@raycoyle1893]

[@DunkingPanda21]

They sound exactly like they do on record

[@runforcovertube]

:)

[@gemmaeleri]

What happened to Tuesdays with tay?

[@gilla6663]

(:

[@piecesofpeople]

Did some of you even listen to this whole set? Their a 3 piece! The bass is one of the elements that make this band unique. If the girl was just strictly following the root notes of the guitar player it would be underwhelming and bland. Stop your complaining and go make some music.

[@botbot3000000]

I think Georgia is a great lyricist but you're right, Kelly's bass is what makes them stick out musically.

[@TravAron92]

Half correct. Playing the root notes is often the whole bloody point of a bass guitar. But sure, quote that and take that quote out of context

[@dudedude8931]

You couldn't be more wrong. If you're a bass player and your just playing root notes than you either are lazy or you just really should put the bass down and maybe take up knitting.

[@NickHarman]

@@dudedude8931 Yes and no, some songs need no more than root. There's no point in going all Jaco Pastorius over a punk rock song. A good bassist, imho, does what's needed.

[@dudedude8931]

Nick Harman as you said that’s your opinion. IMHO I like a bass player that adds some flavor to the song. While percussive, a bass does not need to be as passive of an instrument if it’s done with fidelity.

[@SirLawmart]

That snare sounds killer!

[@GoodCharlotteCRAZY]

Seriously my favorite band right now playing on one of my favorite channels. Thank you

[@HenryZion]

Show'em Kelly!!!

Kelly is truly a great bassist

Cannot wait to finally see Camp Cope in Germany next week! they are from my home town but I've sadly never seen them live before!!!

Two minutes in, and I can tell at least the singer is a Hop Along fan. Edit: 25:27 lol

[@Thomas_Donofrio]

The bassist has always caught my attention since I first heard this band ❤️ it's really dumb that people don't like the bass just because they can't get around the idea of a woman playing bass in a way they aren't used to 😂

[@BernsteinOmega]

Thomas Donofrio Eh....I don't thinks it's because shes female, but that the bass playing is just missing that ..."groove". It's almost like they having dual lead guitars

[@SuperMalicat]

Right, you got it - playing lead on a bass! But why is that missing anything. You don't like it, don't listen and don't think that they should be doing something to please you. They don't give a shit if you listen or not.

[@soymilk841]

Thomas Donofrio nothing to do with them being women you moron

[@Thomas_Donofrio]

Soy milk first of all, let's chill 👍🏻. 2nd of all you could very well be right. But there is no doubt a stigma against female musicians. My main argument is that there is no right or wrong way to really write music because it's art ❤️

[@jehu9258]

Armistead Burwell Smith IV of Pinback and Three Mile Pilot plays "lead bass" and its fucking rad. If what Kelly-Dawn Helmrich is doing here is even similar to that at all its a huge feather in her cap, and I think her bass lines are really interesting and absolutely drive the melodies. Her sex really never entered into the equation, but I think the OP is right that for many it does. For a long time I thought that Unwound's drummer was a guy, finding out it was Sara Lund broke down any preconceived notions about female performers I'd held. She is decidedly not simply "good for a girl," she is one of my favorite drummers bar none. Being a good anything "for a girl" died that day.
