CAMARO || HARDCORE FOR THE FAST

Mar 10

Coming out of the gates with a need for speed, Camaro from Toronto, Ontario has been fueling the Hardcore scene since spring of 2022, 0 to 60 in less than a year with no brakes. They have a sound that gets the crowd out of neutral, you’ll definitely want to join their pit crew. This past year for them has been the perfect lap and we don’t want any spoilers but we have a feeling their foot is on the gas and we predict big things on their next run of the track.

Now we should quit stalling and get to the questions we got to ask Julio and Luke…

“THE BEST PART IS WORKING HARD ON SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND THEN GETTING REWARDED FROM IT. WITHOUT EXPECTING IT OF COURSE. GROWING, LEARNING FROM PAST MISTAKES AND JUST KEEPING YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKES.”

- JULIO, @camarohc

WHERE DOES THE NAME “CAMARO” COME FROM?

Camaro means we go 0-60mph in about 4 seconds .

WHAT PART OF ONTARIO IS CAMARO FROM?

Toronto, GTA, but I think we’re more of a QEW, DVP, 401, 427, 403 band.

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD OF YOU BEFORE HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BAND?

We’re fast and we’re fun!!!

WHAT ARE YOUR MAJOR INFLUENCES?

A lot of the riffs I write are hugely influenced by a Swedish HC band called Sidestep. Other than that a mix of thrash bands like Suicidal Tendencies.

WHAT ARE SOME LOCAL BANDS YOU’D LOVE TO PLAY WITH OR SHOUTOUT?

Koroshi, Friction, Raze.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW YOU’VE PLAYED SO FAR?

Haven’t had many yet but I love skateramp venues. Shoutout Killroom.

WHAT’S COMING UP FOR THE BAND THIS YEAR?

I think we’re aiming to drop an EP by the end of the summer? We’re recording shit now and doing it all ourselves right now so it’s a bit of a slower process but that’s DIY babyyyy!

Come see Camaro and join their pit crew in Toronto on May 6th at Bar Orwell. It’s an all ages, benefit show for Farmhouse Garden Animal Home so race over to the gig and mosh for a good cause.
