Hippo Campus was formed in 2013 by Jake Luppen (lead vocals & guitar), Nathan Stocker (lead guitar & vocals), Zach Sutton (bass & keys) and Whistler Allen (drums & vocals) after the four-piece met at the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists.
Their first EP was released that same year, but was taken down when 2015 EPs Bashful Creatures and South was dropped.
The band's first LP, landmark was released in early 2017, and was followed by warm glow (EP).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse 2] Gmaj9 Her friends, all her friends said Gmaj9 She needs something like some time away Bm7 They say tell me all her secrets Cmaj7 Blast that up, up on some dramatic shit Gmaj9 I laugh, I-I-I laugh still Gmaj9 I think that you're just excited Bm7 Got my heart all up and undivided Cmaj7 Got our love feeling like an island now
