Today, Caamp shares the official video for "Ohio's Ugly" -- the Ohio natives' tongue-in-cheek nod to their home state.
“It’s a song about falling in love with a girl and wanting to pull her back to Ohio,” Caamp's co-founder and frontman Taylor Meier explains. “People don’t understand why we’re still here, but anybody from the Midwest will tell you there’s a magic to it. I travel all over the world now, but nothing beats coming home.”
Comprised of all home videos of the band from the past decade+, the seriously wholesome video is a celebration of their growth, bond, and friendship over the years. From starting the band in Athens, OH while Meier attended OU to selling out Red Rocks and Columbus’ Nationwide Arena and earning their fourth No. 1 AAA and Americana radio single, the band's bond is stronger now than ever, and the video highlights some of their happiest memories just being together.
The video was shot by Caamp & friends and edited by Benjamin Schwaeber -- watch it above and here.
Ohio's Ugly is one of the standout tracks from Caamp's just-released fifth studio album, Copper Changes Color (Mom+Pop Music), which debuted on Spotify's Top 10 Albums: Debut USA. The album – which Garden & Gun praises for its “Strokes-like strut, all clanging electric guitars at a punchy clip” while still nailing “the sweet spot of Caamp’s trademark folk and delicate banjo beneath Meier’s distinctive baritone” – is both a reflection on growth and evolution and a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure.

The band recently celebrated their fourth No. 1 single on AAA and Americana radio with “Let Things Go.” Caamp also wrote and recorded “And It’s Gone” as the main title theme for Stick, the just-released AppleTV+ original sports comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson that is currently the #1 show on AppleTV+.
Caamp recently kicked off their 2025 US Tour with sold-out shows in Austin, St. Louis, Chicago (two nights) and will play a sold-out show in their home state tonight in Cleveland. The band will continue their 30+ date run with shows in New York City (sold out), Washington DC (first night sold out), Los Angeles, Nashville (sold out) and more. Plus, last week they announced their 2025 UK & Europe Tour, which will see the band hit 11 markets starting October 13 in Madrid, Spain.
