Here’s an interesting split between two bands. The Glocca Morra hails from Florida, and The Greek Favourites comes from Pennsylvania, but they both feature a ragged sound like that of The Menzingers, The Holy Mess, and Captain, We’re Sinking. Six songs total, three by each band, and just as many good times.

And now for something quite different from the previous ode to hardcore. Cara Beth Satalino is the vocalist for indie group Witches, and her solo work makes for a very peaceful listen. If you like female fronted indie rock with plenty of lofty ambitions, then hey debut EP is right for you. Donate if you feel like it.
Here’s a short little EP filled with poppy hooks, soaring melodies, and overall fun and good times. The disc is Junior Battles’ self titled debut. It’s only four tracks long, but has the potential to be played again and again without losing any of its initial draw. It’s another ifyoumakeit freebie, so feel free to drop a donation if it’s to your liking.
Smooth and laid back, but never boring, the boys in Selfish Whales have a great command of fluttery, folky, calming indie. There’s always lots going on, but never enough to overwhelm or intimidate. Donate if you find yourself overcome by a sea of tranquility.
ifyoumakeit recently released The State Lottery’s sophomore full length, When The Night Comes. That the band is willing to put something this good up for donation completely baffles. The album is nine tracks of a fantastic street punk meets pop punk fusion sure to please fans of rough punk acts like The Lawrence Arms. I can’t recommend it enough.
Here’s one of the best releases ifyoumakeit has to offer. The Future Kings Of Nothing offer a really good little slice of innocent indie pop, and it’s damn catchy to boot. Donations also go towards the lead singer’s current battle with lymphoma, so the price is right should you decided to donate.
Hey! what do ya know, I reviewed this album – and rather favourably might I add! No need to write what’s already written! Check out the review for more detail than usual.
Here’s some great gruff pop-punk with an emphasis on catchyness and fuzz. It’s a brief EP, but certainly worth giving a spin. And don’t worry, the band won’t starve since as with all ifyoumake it releases, you can always donate if you like what you hear.
