Nobody Asked Norway to Make "Walking in the Sand" Filthy, and Scampi Chips Dip & Campari Did It Anyway
Scampi Chips Dip & Campari have reached into the girl-group songbook, grabbed a heartbreak classic, and dragged it through the mud. Their take on The Shangri-Las' 1964 classic "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" is out now on the covers EP The Seagull Tapes, and it sounds like it could fall apart at any second but never does.
The original is all longing, heartbreak and high drama. The Norwegian garage punk crew keep every ounce of that drama and rough it up with jagged guitars, shouted hooks and a shrug of DIY attitude. The result is part love letter, part vandalism, and it feels both unexpected and strangely inevitable.
"Walking in the Sand" follows a run of singles that has steadily introduced SCDC's particular mix of garage punk, noise, humour and homemade energy. The drama was already there. SCDC just made it dirtier.
Every rough edge is left in on purpose. The vocals lean into the wounded romance of "What would I do with it now?" while the band turns it into a chant you'll want to scream along to. It's a perfect example of how a classic can be reimagined without losing its soul, only its polish.
For fans of: The Runaways, The Donnas, Bikini Kill, and The Slits.
Biography
Scampi Chips Dip & Campari (SCDC) is a four-piece punk force from Bergen Norway, featuring Hanne Maren Meldahl (bass/vocals), Maiken Andreassen (guitar/vocals), Marit Antonsen Tjugum (drums/vocals), and Karoline Skuseth (keys/vocals). Between them, they’ve logged time in more Bergen underground bands than most scenes could handle, including MT Six, Disdain, Tafatt, Hindenbürg Rock & Grill, and The Wednesday Knights. With over 50 shows under their belt, from a chaotic, unforgettable tour of China to a wind-machine-assisted main stage slot at Kanalrock, SCDC speaks a universal language of distortion, sweat, and pure punk energy. Back on the road over the past two years, they’ve torn through venues across Norway, from Vill Vill Vest to Rockeklubben in Porsgrunn, leaving ringing ears and fresh booking requests in their wake. In a scene that still pushes women out as life gets louder, SCDC pushes back. They stand for punk as stubborn joy and survival, not age or gender. After a cassette EP, they’re now gearing up for a full album, aiming to bottle the same raw intensity that keeps stages, big and small, on the brink of collapse.
