The CAMP LOCO band was born in March 2004 with the arrival of singer Rune. Finally, what was previously only known as an instrumental trio could start its new life as a full blown four-piece band. Immediately Frode (drums), Thor (bass), Jossi (guitars) and Rune (vocals) began the process of adding vocals and lyrics to a big library of killer riffs and writing brand new hard hitting material.

This soon resulted in the first demo track titled 'Ocean'. Just over seven minutes long the song is loaded with heavy riffs, great vocal melodies and progressive elements, which should keep the listener hooked all the way through.

The spotlight landed on CAMP LOCO with the second demo song release 'Blue City'. The fall 2004 the band entered a record deal contest hosted by the national broadcaster NRK2. The TV show 'Blender - Metal' was searching for the "next big thing" amongst up and coming Norwegian metal bands. Finishing top three in the competition, only a few sms-votes short, CAMP LOCO reached the semi-final and performed the song on air on 25. November.

CAMP LOCO is based in the city of Bergen, situated on the west coast of Norway. Currently the band is rocking hard with only four members, but they are looking to bring a samplist and/or keyboardist on board to make the line-up complete.

The music may be described as heavy, progressive, melodic, metal rock. The band is now fully occupied with writing, recording and rehearsing new songs.
