In the world of un-Googleable band names, Camp Trash sits at the top of the heap.

Digging for the tunes, however, unearths treasure of emo proportions. The Florida quartet immortalized the Sunshine State on its 2021 album, Weird Florida, and on its latest, 2022’s The Long Way, The Slow Way, continues the work Camp Trash did on Downtiming (2021) where the band experimented with new tempos and moods on the way to declaring itself one of the most dynamic punk outfits in the Southeast.

Tickets to see Camp Trash play Oscura in Bradenton with Charlie, Radaghast and The Pilot waves on Friday, March 8 are still available and start at $10.
