This release is an enhanced CD - plays like regular CD's on a CD player, and has extra content when played on a computer.

Excerpt from AMG review: "...The end result is the polished sophomore effort, Tell Them Hi. The 11-song collection is pure aggressive pop loaded with heavy life experiences and dark melodies...."

Melodic pop/grunge rock with early influences

"Campfire Girls one of the best bands that no one knows about. While "Tell Them Hi," their major-label debut album, just came out, Campfire Girls are nothing new. In fact, they've been around for years, making little records and ep's from a basement for the longest time. "Delongpre" came out recently as well, although it's actually a compilation of rare songs written and recorded in the early nineties. Campfire Girls maintain solid and melodic music with sing-along choruses, while staying true to their roots and not losing originality points. If you listen closely, you may agree that some of their influences include bands like Nirvana, Green Day, and even the Presidents of the USA. The best songs on this album are "someday," "incomplete," and "broken tooth," which is actually just a 12/8 recreation of "if you don't have to" (the first track on "Delongpre"). Campfire Girls are nothing new, they just brought back a style of music that has been forgotten. It's very hard not to be 100% satisfied with this album. Buy it! Pe@ce!"

Back from the Grave and Better than Ever

"This Los Angeles-based band has definitely had its trials and tribulations, basically going to hell and back more than once and that which is extremely unfortunate, because they can create amazing, emotional and dramatic music. This second release was way overdue following their first recording titled Delongpre in 1996. The musicians had struggled with bad heroin addictions and after getting signed to Interscope Records and recording that first album their addiction got the best of them and the band broke up a month before it was to be released. So things just got worse for them.



So now after eight years and cleaning up. the band re-united (except for the original drummer) and, with the help of Stone Temple Pilots's singer Scott Wieland, they recorded and released this incredible indie/emo album "Tell Them Hi". There is not one track that would disappoint you. Singer Christian Stone has one of those perfect nonabrasive voices and that, tied in with bassist Andrew Clarks simple yet catchy bass, turns into picture perfect pop songs. Most noteable tracks are "Someday", "Post-Coital", and "Broken Tooth"."
