1. In the summer of 1998, longtime friends and bandmates William Seidel, Ryan Weber and Brian Zimmerman met with Eric Osterman and founded the Milwaukee band Camden. Soon after forming, Camden recorded their first EP with Chris Rosenau (Pele, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Telecognac, and Lumis) in the spring of 1999 and began touring in support of their self-titled EP with bands such as Pele, The Gloria Record and Antarctica.
Soon afterwards, the band recorded a follow-up EP called Fall In An Overcoat in the fall, and completed several US tours that year. In December of 1999, they recorded the very well received Reel Time Canvas (released on Grand Theft Autumn) with Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie). Throughout the year 2000, Camden continuously toured with Death Cab For Cutie and then The Promise Ring while headlining a few tours of their own.
After recording 4 of the 6 tracks that were to become part of Pieces of Places with Chris Walla in Seattle, Camden suffered a few setbacks- Eric fell in love with a girl he met on the road and quit the band to marry her. The 6 tracks that Camden had recorded before the break-up sat for almost a year before Ed Menacho, Chris Strong and Joe Wigdahl were prompted to form Brilliante Records in order to release the EP and give it the attention they thought that it deserved.
Camden is no longer a functioning band, however, you can still hear William Seidel & Ryan Weber with their later creations: Decibully & New Sense.
2. Camden is a Belgian band founded on the ashes of Ashbury Faith by the famous flemish bassist Axl Peleman, together with Michael Schack on drums and Mario Pesic on guitar.
Their first album was recorded in 2001 and contains songs such as "Black Paper, Black Ink" and "Snapshot". They have since released 2 more albums.
Axl Peeleman is also a regular on Belgian TV and can be seen as the basist of the Kreuners, replacing Berre Bergen on their 30th anniversary tour.
3. Solo project from one of the members of Daughters of the Sun, Cole Weiland. Under his moniker, Camden, he creates synth-heavy music (and more, d'oh). First release, Life of Devotion, on Moon Glyph in 2010.
Little Perfect Murder
Camden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he finds out he's alone
It's the poison that he takes
It's the cancer in his bones
'Truth or dare' he wispers
Though it knows the ice's too thin
It was hope that killed him
But it were his fingerprints
Who somehow gets a thrill
Of being perfect with an awful lot of guilt
I never thought it'd come to this that I
Even don't remember what I miss
Little perfect murders come and go
But they never die
Is what she said
'Maybe one day who knows'
For crying out loud, it's just a term
Made for those who end it
And for you who can't confirm
I'm the coat you're wearing
When there's nothing left that fits
I'm what you created
You think there's more but this is it
I know I hurt you
I know I caused you pain
You called me asshole
But at least I've got a name
The song "Little Perfect Murder" by Camden captures the feelings of hopelessness and loneliness that a person might experience when they find themselves alone. The lyrics describe how hope can be both a poison and cancer in one's bones because it can lead to disappointment and heartbreak. The metaphor of the madman's dream highlights the irrational and elusive nature of hope and how it can lead a person down a dangerous path. The line “Truth or dare” suggests that the person is willing to take a risk even if it means putting themselves in danger.
The song also touches on the idea of guilt, as the person in the song seems to be grappling with the consequences of their actions. The phrase “little perfect murders” is a metaphor for the small ways in which we hurt people, even though we may not intend to. The idea is that these tiny, seemingly harmless actions can add up over time and cause a great deal of pain. The lyric, “For crying out loud, it's just a term, Made for those who end it, And for you who can't confirm” suggests that the person is struggling to come to terms with their own emotions and may be using language as a coping mechanism.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the human experience and the complicated emotions that come with it. It encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and the ways in which they may be contributing to the pain and suffering of those around them.

A former Home Office pathologist, criticised for his postmortem examination into the death of newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protest in 2009, has had his earlier work on a murder victim condemned by a General Medical Council disciplinary panel.
The panel found that Dr Freddy Patel's reports on the death of Sally White - the first victim of Anthony Hardy, "the Camden Ripper" - in 2002 were "irresponsible, not of the standard expected of a competent forensic pathologist and liable to bring the medical profession into disrepute".
Patel decided White, a 31-year-old sex worker, had died of natural causes despite blood staining on her clothing, her bedding and on a wall in a locked room in Hardy's north London flat. Patel concluded she had died from a heart attack during consensual sex.
His reports on Hardy's first victim discouraged a police investigation that might have saved two other women, the GMC panel was told. Because he had ruled out murder, there was effectively "no crime to investigate".
@texasray5237
How ridiculous that they let that creep go knowing he was a psychotic killer.
That isn't a justice system, it's an injustice system.
@tropicalpalmtree
Sometimes i think we'd be better without the police and go back to old ways. The amount of evidence that is needed for the CPS to prosecute is an absolute joke, like John Cannans involvement in the disappearance of Suzy Lumplugh.
@cynthiatolman326
The man defending letting him go is wrong, there were signs. Doctors said he was dangerous, but they didn't read the reports, and they were far too worried about his human rights. He did exactly what the Doctors said he would.

@pommydiva1
shame on that retired policeman who wasnt going to do anything after he spotted Harvey at the hospital. it took his son to change his mind. thats terrible.
@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts
And he almost sounded proud about it! Wouldn't you be so ashamed of yourself 😔
@MacJaxonManOfAction
I'm not sure which is more frightening; Hardy's depravity or the sheer incompetence of the agencies involved.
@Skindoggiedog
Pretty appalling, you're right.
@nebulanigrimleonis3883
It wasn't incompetence. Its INDIFFERENCE.
In those days no one cared about prostitutes. That weren't considered to be LIVES WORTH SAVING. I think labeling the women as prostitutes in these docs is a practice that needs to end. THEY ARE WOMEN. How they make a living shouldn't matter. This is how society makes the GOOD people feel safer. Separating and categorizing. "She's a PROSTITUTE. That is why it happened. Good women need not worry" is the message. They are BAD GIRLS. He is a predator and like most predators, they fish and hunt where it's easiest. So they go after prostitutes and young girls.

Remember when the British press published the headline, “Yorkshire Ripper Kills First INNOCENT VICTIM”!!! when he murdered his first non-sex worker?
Back then most “prostitutes” we’re just poor, working class wives & mothers who turned a couple of ‘tricks’ when her family was absolutely desperate for money. There are some really interesting interviews with the husbands & children of the Yorkshire Rippers victims on YouTube…
Think of the dehumanising words there were for poor, working class, white girls…”Chavs”, “Scrubbers” etc. Look into the official reports on Grooming Gangs & the terrible, dismissive phrases still used to describe the UNDERAGE, poor, white, working class VICTIMS. At least the government has stopped the use of “Child Prostitutes” after many DECADES!!! 🙄🤬 Under Tony Blair an 11 year old “Child Prostitute” has made a “lifestyle choice” & was NOT a victim needing support from the police & other services!!! 😳🤬🤯
