Sounds LikeRobert Smith singing with Ian Curtis, who borrowed a drum machine from New Order, played a little while with Billy Corgan, finally kicked him out of the band, but couldn't get him away for good though, so he stills hang around even though you can't hear him that good anymore, David Byrne joined the team with spasms and energy, and Dave Gahan got a shot in the end to, but he was told to limit himself because he was beeing way to dark all the time, cause Campire Kansas felt that they had transcedended through all that gloomy everythings black stuff, because that is only a escapistic mode that keeps you away from the real greyness of everything.

Said about Campfire Kansas:

"Trenchcoat-misere med uvanleg treffsikkerheit: ”Everything After” er en åpenbar Joy Division-hommage. Men med sin særeigne fiolin og små ”feil”-vokal skil Campfire Kansas seg ut frå dei andre utøvarane i postpønk-køa"
-Urørt, P3

About the Professor Murder support: "Oppvarming kommer i form av fire alvorlige unge menn som også kaller seg Campfire Kansas. Og som vi garantert kommer tilbake til senere. Dette er nemlig bra saker!"
-www.smuglesning.no

"Du har kanskje sett ham som den dansende gitaristen som spilte med Accidents Never Happen før deres exodous til England, og som den ja, dansende keyboardisten som har spilt med hiawata!. Vi snakker ikke om et medlem av Superfamily, men en av landets frekkeste new-wave artister, Bjørn Inge Engebretsen aka Campfire Kansas."
-Furore I Harare

"Campfire Kansas kommer fra Norge/England, og spiller en meget tiltalende gothrock/new romantic-inspirert nyveiv. Det vil si at bandets lydbilde ligger et sted mellom The Cure, Joy Division, The Human Leauge, og tam tam tam, ABC. Musikalsk tar Campfire Kansas altså utgangspunkt i en dunkel kjeller, der det er tett luft og mye innesperret desperasjon, samtidig som de ikke er fremmede for å ta småturer ut på dansegulvet. Ta for eksempel låta "Rendezvous with Babar" som er et magisk stykke dansegulvsfyller. Krast og bestemt, men også lekent og dansete. Slik liker vi dansemusikken vår tilbredt"
