DIFFUS NEWSHippo Campus im Interview: "Wir verdanken dieser High School alles"Hippo Campus ist eine Indie-Band, die weder vor großen Pop-Melodien noch nischigen Experimenten zurückscheut. Tatsächlich fühlt sich das Quintett aus Minneapolis genau in der Schnittmenge zwischen diesen Extremen am wohlsten. Seit ihren Anfängen als High School-Band haben die fünf Freunde stetig ihr Bestes gegeben, den eigenen Sound neu zu erfinden.
Zu Beginn führte sie das zum verspielten Gitarren-Sound ihres Debüt-Albums „Landmark“, das die Band 2017 veröffentlichte. Ihr lebensfroher Indie-Pop brachte Hippo Campus auf zahlreiche Festivalbühnen, aber schnell auch wieder zurück ins Studio. Nur ein Jahr nach dem Debüt erschien...
