Based out of Diest (Belgium), jangly indie band Stoop Kid started out as the home recording project of guitarist Jens Rubens (Ero Guro, Coma Commander) before evolving into a full live band late 2019. Right before the pandemic, Stoop Kid started playing its first shows with bands like Portland, Meskerem Mees and Teen Creeps.

After two EP’s, Stoop Kid released his their first full-length album in January 2021. ‘Camp Careful’ is a jangly indie record created by Jens in the somewhat comforting reclusion of his home studio. Writing, learning new instruments, recording and mixing: Camp Careful is the first big batch of fruit of his home recording endeavour.

While Stoop Kid treads the world with great caution, various reflections, observations and wishes are thoughtfully tucked into this album.  It covers themes like social anxiety, everlasting existential crises and generally feeling out of place all the time. Heavy topics which contrast tuneful guitar riffs and the band’s sense of perspective.
