Camp Crush is a New Wave duo out of Portland, OR. Formed in 2017 by singer/keyboardist Jen Deale and drummer Chris Spicer, the husband-and-wife band launched onto the northwest music scene with their vocal-forward synth-rich pop tunes and dynamic live performance. Inspired by bands like The Cure, New Order, Berlin and Blondie, the duo continues to evolve, bridging influences of the past and modern day pop sounds. Happy Mag describes them best: “The duo glide through a cinematic brand of indie-pop that is completely endearing and damn-near mesmerizing.”
Activator, the debut album by Portland-based musician Shawna Pair, weaves between genres, from electropop to queer synth, glam rock to psych pop. Laced with innuendos and energy, the Alabama-born musician has storytelling in her blood.
