SummersRadio™ New Music! Summer Camp - 'Better Off Without You' Summer Camp are a new duo - Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey - from London. Last fall they released their debut six song EP called 'Young' on the Moshi Moshi Records label. They're currently working on their full length debut album - in fact they're actually seeking pledges to help finish it! That may sound a bit desperate at first, but it's actually a pretty cool idea.
You 'pledge' by choosing from about 60 band/ fan related offers! Each one has a corresponding price - from a download copy of the new album plus 10 pledger-only updates for £8 - to a signed t-shirt for £20 - to the band writing a song about you for £250! (Only 2 left!) Regardless of what you pledge you will be entitled to an advance download of the full album (and a copy of the cd when they're made) plus other upcoming exclusives - not to mention the fuzzy feeling you'd get inside for helping a new band make their first official album! If this song is any indication I doubt they'll be asking for funding when it comes time to make album number two - they could make it quite big in indie (and possibly even pop) circles!

This is the first single from the forthcoming album called 'Better Off Without You' - which tells the tale of a friend who you just can't handle anymore. I had one like this - who would call all the time to tell me about his problems in great detail - so I could comfort him - but he'd never ask anything about my life. I ended up just feeling like a psychiatrist - without the big pay cheque! The song reminds me a titch of some of Blondie's recordings - like a more pop/ less guitar version of 'Hanging On The Telephone'. This is 'Better Of Without You'... Enjoy!
And just for kicks here's Blondie's 'Hanging On The Telephone' from their 1978 release 'Parallel Lines'. The two songs aren't the same by any means - they just have a similar feel... Enjoy!
