MakeWar
Brooklyn gruff-melodic trio with big, aching choruses and an immigrant's-eye lyric sheet — made for the last-hour singalong slot, beers raised.
MakeWar are a punk trio based in Brooklyn, fronted by Venezuelan-born singer and guitarist Jose Prieto. They play in the gruff-vocal melodic punk tradition, with hoarse group choruses and songs that draw on displacement, family and moving between countries. The band records for Fat Wreck Chords and has toured widely in the US and Europe.
