MakeWar are a Brooklyn, NY based punk trio with all members originating in Venezuela & Colombia. They have been playing a gruff variety of indie punk rock for fans of Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, The Flatliners, The Replacements, Foo Fighters, & Hüsker Dü for the past decade, which has taken them around Europe, North & South America many times. Their long-time tour manager/ driver/ road dog is from Michigan, so he convinced them to come do a run in the Great Lakes for a long weekend.
The new MakeWar album, A Paradoxical Theory of Change, dropped on Fat Wreck Chords on June 28th and is available everywhere now. www.makewarmusic.com
Death Pose are a brand new heavy-as-shit band from Chicago, IL. Originally known as big bird., the band formed in 2022 from the ashes of numerous punk/hardcore/indie bands including Typesetter, Little Teeth, The Sky We Scrape, etc. After quickly releasing a three-song EP, they supported heavy hitters like The Casket Lottery, Local H and Hum’s Matt Talbot, along with an appearance at Gainesville's 20th anniversary of the legendary Fest.
On their full-length debut, Midnight Society, death pose tear through 13 incendiary tracks of down-tuned punk/post-hardcore influenced noise rock replete with indelible hooks, sharp angular riffage, and a rhythm section that resonates with urgency. The album was produced by Jeff Dean (Alkaline Trio, Braid, The Story So Far, Samiam) at The Echo Mill and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Every Time I Die, Thrice, Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan) at West West Side.
Dark lyrical themes of personal dissociation, political action, religious intolerance, heartbreak, and the human experience are woven throughout, adding a layer of realism and responsibility to their discord. We live out our deaths each and every day in the modern world and death pose provide an exquisite soundtrack for such dystopian times. https://deathpose.bandcamp.com/
The Write-Ups are a Flint Michigan based soundtrack to 5 guys having a midlife crisis. They play fun and super danceable songs about really depressing things like poisoned children, police brutality, death, addiction, and lack of political accountability. Ska for people who hate ska. www.hyperfollow.com/thewriteups
