In this day and age, everything is a commodity. Music was the final frontier and even that's been reduced to a product. Honesty and passion have been replaced by dollars and cents with bands creating a "look," writing a "hook" to catch the eyes of a young teenage girl and a record exec. Cookie-cutter bands and so on down the line have perfected a product that will launch them into super stardom. There's nothing behind their eyes, they're creating music for the wrong reasons. It has no real attitude. There are always exceptions to that trend though, you just have to dig deeper than what's being force-fed. MAKE DO AND MEND is the epitome of that exception. With the depth of HOT WATER MUSIC, the youthfulness of JIMMY EAT WORLD and piecing it all together with their own dark post-hardcore sound.. MAKE DO AND MEND has delivered their latest endeavor, Bodies Of Water. Bodies Of Water encompasses MAKE DO AND MEND's own brand of posi-hardcore that is as melodic as it is fierce. MAKE DO AND MEND have perfected a sound that's more than able to convince you that aggressive emotion and heartfelt honesty are not dead in the punk music that we fell in love with.

one the best new bands out there
if you like hot water music, old against me!, avail, jimmy eat world, samiam or even everclear.... this is the band for you! all six songs here will have you singing along in no time and even singing the words in the middle of the first listen, even if you don't know any of the words, it's so damn catchy. pick up this ep, and thier earlier 12'. see them live,sweat along with everyone there, and thank the heavens there are still bands out there in the hardcore,indie,punk scene still making music that's heart felt, and sincere.

Fantastic
MDAM is amazing. This is their best work so far, IMO, even better than their new record which everyone says is top 10 of 2010. Buy it and enjoy.
