alogical Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 http://riserecords.merchnow.com/catalogs/make-do-and-mend New song and interview: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/make-do-and-mend-dont-be-long-premiere You probably didn’t know it, but Make Do and Mend have a new album on the way. No, they’re not going into the studio—they’ve been in the studio already. They’ve made the damn thing. It’s called Don’t Be Long, it’s great, and it’ll be out sooner than you think. Musically and conceptually, it’s the culmination of everything the once Boston-based band has been through since forming almost a decade ago. It’s coming out on Stay Close, which is an imprint of Rise Records that the four-piece—singer/guitarist James Carroll, his brother Matt on drums, bassist Luke Schwartz, and lead guitarist Mike O’Toole—have set up themselves and which sees the post-hardcore four-piece returning to their roots. That, as James and Matt explain, means once again making music purely for the fun and the joy of it, and cutting out all the other crap. Out 2/24/15 on Rise Records.

alogical Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 as stated in the interview, the song they premiered does sound more EMM/Bodies of Water-esque. Glad they've taken the time to put together some awesome new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 New song rules! Looking forward to the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Song sounds promising. Hoping for the best with the whole lp. I used to love this band. Still hate Rise records and their stupid limited variant in lame bundles only. I ended up not even buying their last album because of that and also because it wasn't all that good.

TheWindBlower Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This is absolutely great. I need this LP right now. Can't wait to preorder it. Not looking forward to Rise's shitty bundle stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoughtsky Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Awesome! End measured mile is one of my all time favorite records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 agreed, fuck Rise bundles. The last MDAM record had that expensive bundle with the sweet looking tri color variant that wound up being a dull grey. They got me good that time. Probably won't happen again... probably.

toxicity Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thought I was done with this band after that last dud of a record, but that new song is pretty great. Sounds like it could have been on EMM for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum7 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I grabbed the EYEL limited variant after they split them up. Just wait it out and don't jump on the bundle. Unless you're into the extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xschurzix Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Like the new song too. Can't wait to preorder it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klefki Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 yes yes yes. Everything You Ever Loved is one of my all time favorites. I am very excited about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 EMM definitely tops EYEL, but EYEL is an enjoyable listen for me. There's a few amazing songs on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfactor675 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 that's what I'm talking about! The last album was soooo bad that I've given up on this band. I might break my "no Rise" buying policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexzer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 EMM definitely tops EYEL, but EYEL is an enjoyable listen for me. There's a few amazing songs on there.Agreed. I think that EYEL is a quite enjoyable record.I am glad to finally hear some news from these guys. New song sounds promising, will definitely pre-order this.

alogical Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Per their Facebook, "I think the first week of 2015 will bring a new song + pre orders for 'Don't Be Long.'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out Of Time Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Really excited to hear new material. Can't wait for the PO's to go up. I definitely won't buy the super bundle, but here's to hoping that they don't sell out so they can separate them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostTrail Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Based on the band's Facebook post earlier today, it looks like preorders and probably another song are going up tomorrow. Out Of Time and AWasteOfATime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
