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,The Dublin Castle, 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.

Reviews:

THE CAMPAIGN – TRUE REFLECTIONS (4 TRACK CD)
Are The Campaign the lovechild of Joey Ramone and John Squire? You’d think so given a quick blast of the Romford band’s CD – imagine the sultry vocals of the Ramones mixed with the jangly guitars of The Stone Roses and you’ve got some idea of what this quartet sound like. The singalongish ‘26’ stands out as one of the most memorable songs in this release, alongside the spacey effects of ‘Change’ and I’d imagine during a live set you’d never stop dancing to their upbeat tunes. If indie’s your thing, you’d do worse than to check this lot out.

Buzzcocks, early Husker Du and a touch of the Joey Ramones about the vocal. Roustabout Romford based band rocking some nifty little punk pop toons. Lotsa skinny ties and waistcoats, white slip on shoes etc..and indeed I also hear The Flamin' Groovies and The Saints, this really is top notch powerpop
