Camp Regret "Smoke Screen"

Sounds from the USA

22/09/2025 |

“Smoke Screen,” the blistering first single from Camp Regret’s self-titled debut LP, is a three-minute burst of unfiltered punk energy that channels the raw spirit of DIY rock with razor-sharp urgency. Clocking in at just 3:02, the track rides a searing garage-rock riff and Jon Burns’ impassioned vocals to deliver a potent message about shielding oneself from relentless social and political pressures—what Burns describes as “adorning ourselves with special armor to survive our captivity.” The song’s scrappy, lo-fi aesthetic is perfectly complemented by Cory Peak’s animated video, which imagines a dystopian app (“SMKSCRN”) that traps users in digital servitude, mirroring the real-world anxieties the band critiques. It’s direct, confrontational, and undeniably catchy—a rallying cry wrapped in fuzz and feedback.

Hailing from the Quad Cities (IL/IA), Camp Regret—comprised of veterans from bands like Ice Hockey, Lazer Mountain, and Meth and Goats—revives the chaotic charm of early-2000s basement shows while pushing into fresh sonic territory. Their sound fuses post-punk angularity, post-hardcore intensity, and psychedelic flourishes, all anchored by fuzzy synths, propulsive rhythms, and Burns’ sardonic howl. Recorded straight to tape by analog wizard Patrick Stolley (Daytrotter), the full album promises ten tracks that balance melody and mayhem with intelligence and grit. Set for release on October 24 via Two Two One Press—on streaming platforms and as a limited-edition marbled forest vinyl—the LP stands as both a love letter to punk’s rebellious roots and a bold step forward. Fans of Mission of Burma, Fugazi, or At the Drive-In will find plenty to love in Camp Regret’s furious, fun, and fiercely relevant debut.
