Synopsis

Amazon.com
After the inspired post-grunge fuzz of their well-regarded 1995 EP, Mood Enhancer, one can forgive Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland for encouraging Campfire Girls to release these tracks, recorded in 1994 before the band was swept up by Interscope. Unfortunately, Campfire Girls still hadn't come up with the messy howl that would distinguish Enhancer, and Delongpre can only offer an awkward sludge composed mainly of hook-free melodies and muddy song structure. Christian Stone's lyrics and vocals try for an angst-ridden depth but run headlong into the kind of forced sincerity that infected so many bands in grunge's immediate aftermath. Stone and company do show flashes of songwriting ability; "Thought Police" plays with tempo and mood a bit, using a quick, crowd chanting sample to give the song some edge. Mostly, though, only glimpses of the band's growing abilities can be heard. --Matthew Cooke

CD Reviews

Campfire Girls - 'Delongpre' (Tornado)
Mike Reed | USA | 09/15/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Vaguely remember this Los Angeles post-grunge band. 'Delongpre' is their first full-length CD. It's okay, nothing to write home about - tunes I liked best were "Dang That Smarts", the Nirvana-ish "Hippie Shade Thing", "Thought Police" and the eight-minute "Songing". Personnel: Christian Stone-guitar & vocals, Mike Semple-guitar, Andrew Clark-bass and Jon Pinkus-drums. Could do something for followers of Foo Fighters, The Calling, Fuel and (you guessed it) Nirvana."
