Cam Girl
Cam Girl – Flesh & Chrome Review
“Every once in a blue moon, reviewing a local band—especially a largely DIY band like Asheville, North Carolina’s Cam Girl—comes with a few extra perks. Because of our proximity, I secured promo months in advance in the form of a sick translucent cyan vinyl and a digital mp3, and gleaned additional insight into how this record was made. Having that much more exposure and access to the band by the grace of locality helped contextualize exactly what Cam Girl aspire to be.” Think brutally, shop locally.
Time Rift – In Flight Review
“Time Rift reminds me very heavily of last year’s Saturday Night Satan, which is an excellent place to start. Subtract the occult inspirations, you still gain massively hooky songs, belting and charismatic vocals, buttery smooth rock riffs and grooving percussion. Built for fans of classic acts, like Budgie, and modern standouts such as Argus, Pristine, and Satan alike, In Flight is upbeat, youthful, and brimming with vim and vigor.” Time is a flat circle.

Cam Girl – Untucked Review
“Punk has never been my favorite genre. I am not sure if it’s the rough and ready vocals that often help define the punk sound, or if it’s just something about punk songwriting that doesn’t enthuse me. Either way, it’s something I struggle to love. That is, until I went to my first Cam Girl show only about a year ago.” Punk in a tight place.
