Made Do And Mend - Bodies Of Water

Website

Genre: Punk
FFO: Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, Polar Bear Club

This EP is one of my favorite releases of the last few years, and i'm glad this band has received so much positive attention and recognition since its release, because they deserve it. The EP has a very strong Hot Water Music vibe and feel to it, and the songs flow into one another, which adds to the replay value of BOW. This is the perfect soundtrack for the Fall/Winter, and it's always in heavy rotation when it starts getting cold out.

Homestretch and Centuries are two hardcore bands from Florida. These tracks have been in constant rotation for me ever since I got my hands on them, and I'm looking forward to seeing these bands this weekend. They're touring together in support of this split. The tour starts today, and goes until the end of July. You should seriously check these bands out, get into them, and go see them if they're playing near you.
