Hippo Campus is a talented indie rock band hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota. The group consists of Jake Luppen on vocals and guitar, Nathan Stocker on guitar and vocals, Zach Sutton on bass, and Whistler Allen on drums and vocals. They first crossed paths at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists during high school. Prior to forming Hippo Campus, the members played in various other bands before coming together under this new name. Luppen and Stocker's musical partnership grew after performing at School of Rock in Minnesota. Their unique sound has also been showcased in their side project [a7024471] with [a7538637].
With their roots firmly planted in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hippo Campus brings a fresh perspective to the indie rock scene.
The band's lineup includes Jake Luppen (vocals/guitar), Nathan Stocker (guitar/vocals), Zach Sutton (bass), and Whistler Allen (drums/vocals). Each member honed their skills at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists where they attended high school.

From the resplendent "Way It Goes," a guitar led gallop about the Instagram-filtered church of cool, to the propulsive "Boyish," a horn-kissed rumination on children of divorce, landmark is shot through with a woozy dissonance between precocious wisdom and old-as-time coming of age stories. The result is a messy, brave, and earnest whole not to mention, a tectonic shift forward for a young band still discovering itself.
