Camp Cope are signed with independent Melbourne label Poison City Records.

Their eponymous debut album, released in April 2016, reached the top 40 in the ARIA Albums Chart, and was nominated for a J Award for Australian Album of the Year. They were also nominated in six categories at the inaugural National Live Music Awards and won the 'Heatseeker Award'. Website Faster Louder choose Camp Cope's self titled debut album as their Album of the Year for 2016. The group also won Best Emerging Act at the 2016 The Age Music Victoria Awards.

Camp Cope has been described as "part Courtney Barnett, part Juliana Hatfield," and "melodic, uplifting and aching". "Lost: Season One", a single from the album referencing the television show, was performed by Camp Cope for Like a Version in September 2016, along with a cover of "Maps".

In 2017, Camp Cope are scheduled to perform at St Jerome's Laneway Festival, and will support North American bands Pup and Modern Baseball on their Australian tours.
