With nearly 300 live shows under their belt, appearances on WGN and several local radio stations, The Sweeps are building up a reputation as a one of Chicago's best noisy pop-rock bands.

The Sweeps have two previous self-released EPs, Midnight at the Box (2009) and The Terrible Children (2011); both achieve a raw sound, awash with urgency. The newest addition is Swift Armour (2013), the bands first full length. All available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Napster, and countless other sites.

“The Sweeps could never disappoint. Their songs are catchy, their stage presence is amazing, and the energy from their fans is intoxicating!” ---LoudLoopPress.com.

Runner Up for Best Local Band in 2010 and Runner Up for Best Rock Band in 2012. ---Chicago Reader

See you at the next show!

Campdogzz capture the bleak yet spirited heart of the industrial midwest in a five-piece band propelled by driving rhythms, insistent dual guitars set in intriguing arrangements, and the haunting, evocative songs and voice of Tulsa native Jess Price. In a moment, Jess turns a beguiling melody to a darkening storm, rich in portent and meaning.

Campdogzz have earned a devoted following in Chicago and the midwest, with a line-up that has solidified into a potent live band featuring Jess Price (lead vocals, guitar and keyboard); Mike Russell (guitar and backup vocals); Nick Enderle (guitar); Andrew Rolfsen (bass); and Chris Dye (drums). 
In addition to their own headlining shows and tours (until recently conveyed by a school bus rigged for self-sufficient touring and camping; if you don’t know where to get the best falafel in every American city, you are definitely not a Campdog), the band has opened for Big Thief, Sam Evian, Ohmme, Tim Kasher and others. They were recently seen in the first season of the Netflix series, Easy, recorded a popular Audiotree live video session, and self-released “Riders in the Hills of Dying Heaven” in 2015. That early recording has been streamed nearly 2 million times. Now, Campdogzz are poised to come aggravate your blues, bang your head, and remind you where you are on the long road away from home.

After recording, singer Jess Price managed to “get a job” setting controlled burns and filmed parts of Doom Flower’s video for Get a Job while at work! Jess and Bobby previously collaborated on the Joan of Arc videos Something Kind and Two Toothed Troll.

Jess Price and Bobby Burg started recording Doom Flower LP with Matt Lemke but were derailed in March of 2020. Bobby remembered that Electrical Audio was built to allow smoking inside while not damaging the equipment, meaning the airflow is like outside! It was the perfect studio for the time! Doom Flower finished writing music over email before recording at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Areif Sless-Kitain played drums while Greg Norman captured sound and Neil Strauch mixed.
