Make Do And Mend New Single

• 15th May 2012

Brighton, MA-based rock quartet Make Do and Mend are excited to present the new music video for “Lucky,” the first single off the band’s soon-to-be released sophomore album titled Everything You Ever Loved (June 19, Rise Records). Directed by Kevin Maistros, the video for “Lucky” is an impressive performance and lighting spectacle that was shot in Somerville, MA, recently that’s well-suited to the song’s high energy. Check out “Lucky” here link. In addition to the release of the music video, Everything You Ever Loved is now available for preorder.

Originally formed in 2006 in West Hartford, CT, Make Do And Mend is James Carroll (vocals/guitar), Mike O'Toole (lead guitar), Luke Schwartz (bass) and Matt Carroll (drums). Following a series of well-received EPs and their acclaimed 2010 debut album, End Measured Mile, an album Rock Sound praised as saying “honest, humble and hardworking punk rock never sounded so good” as well as Punknews.org naming it “the most impressive debut full-length of the year,” Everything You Ever Loved showcases another side of the rock quartet's ever-expanding profile.

From the driving “Count” and “Stay In The Sun” to the lyrically sensitive and touching “St. Anne” and “Desert Lily,” Everything You Ever Loved illustrates the band's continued forward-thinking songwriting range and presents itself as a highly contemplative offering that will please fans of dynamic rock music.

Make Do And Mend are returning to the UK for a tour with Set Your Goals and Spy Catcher.
