Make Do and Mend are a band from Connecticut that currently has their album up for free download on their myspace page. I have to say I like what I hear. The collection is called "Bodies of Water" and I like the fact that rather than sounding derrivative of so many other bands, they have a sound reminiscent of late 80's and early 90's hardcore bands like Die Kreuzen, Naked Raygun, Husker Du, and Pegboy. Not screamo hardcore like today, but good alternative, creative passionate music.
On tracks like Shambles, there is a nice use of dynamics that carries the song along. Others like Winter Wasteland and Father have a passion and drive to them that reminds me of a day when music was important. This is good stuff. I encourage you to download the tracks, and go see them live. It looks like they are on tour right now. If you never got to see the Huskers or Naked Raygun, you might just hear a trace of them here.
