While attending Walt Whitman High School in Huntington Station, New York, Campbell joined Long Island punk band Latterman, led by classmates Phil Douglas and Matt Canino. He recorded and performed as a guitarist in Latterman until shortly before they disbanded in 2007. [1]
After almost four years apart, Latterman briefly reunited with Campbell on guitar, for a series of New York-area concerts in December 2011, followed by a full European tour in the summer of 2012, and an appearance at The Fest in Gainesville, Florida in October 2012. [2]
