Miles Away Releasing Tide On May 5th


miles away

Australian hardcore outfit Miles Away will be releasing their brand new album titled Tide, out May 5, 2015 via Six Feet Under Records in North America and Europe, and Resist Records in Australia.

Band guitarist Adam Crowe wrote this record from his now Berlin, Germany base with Cam Jose via email, and enlisted former Defeater drummer Andy Reitz and bassist Jared Crowe of Perth, Australia based The Others to play on the record. Together they entered Getaway Studios in Boston with producer Jay Maas during July/August 2014, with the end result then mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

The artwork for Tide reflects the bands coastal West Australian roots with a sobering photo based insert brought to life by fellow sandgropers Mike Maxted & Adam Borello, with Tom Sweetman & Dick Smith handling layout duties.

Make Do And Mend Streaming “Don’t Be Long”


Make Do And Mend is streaming “Don’t Be Long” off their forthcoming full length Don’t Be Long, out February 24, 2015 via Stay Close/Rise Records, here.

Though the band formed in Hartford, Connecticut, all four members of MAKE DO AND MEND now reside in different states across the country. Despite their geographical disconnect, the four piece was able to come together to create Don’t Be Long, their third full-length release following 2010’s End Measured Mile and 2012’s Everything You Ever Loved.

After close to a decade of existence, 8 studio efforts under their belt, including splits with the likes of Touché Amoré and The Flatliners, and extensive touring worldwide, MAKE DO AND MEND have channelled all of their experience into the making of Don’t Be Long. The album was recorded by Nick Bellmore at Dexter’s Lab in Milford, Connecticut, and Jay Maas at Getaway Records in Haverhill, Massachusetts, as well as mixed by Maas, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Engineering in Portland, Oregon.

The Don’t Be Long delivers 11 songs that showcase the band’s now trademark avidity for creating music endearingly familiar, and yet charmingly elusive. Like MAKE DO AND MEND’s career to date, Don’t Be Long‘s value is paradoxical. Valuable and yet somehow alien all for it’s unceasing eagerness to provide the listener with something rugged and true.
