The Makeshift Conspiracy

about

Formed in 1997 from the ashes of Red in Reverse, and broke up in August of 1998. Members moved on to such bands as Steak-Knife, Delta Dart, Shotgun Won, Yr Dreams, Fated Fury, Problems. The Makeshift Conspiracy have a tight swaggering groove built around driving bass lines. The guitar sounds shift from a clean strum to warm distorted zooming, while the drummer plays spare and efficient rhythms; of particular interest is the full range of vocals employed. You get a fierce throaty growl, a good dose of sing-song, and one or two tracks of layered vocals that really soar. Their final release was a split 7" with Sourtooth (of Glasgow Scotland). The 7" features 3 previously unreleased songs titled " New Water Cycle", "Fraidy Cat", and "Exit Nowhere" and is available for $3.50 ppd. from www.paroxysmrecords.com Their Split LP/CD with the Sarcastic Bitch is available for $8/10ppd. from www.paroxysmrecords.com They also have a song on the Paroxysm compilation "Scandalized, Traumatized and Baptized." titled "Cross Your Fingers", which was also previously unreleased.
