Formed out of the ashes of frontman Jose Prietos solo endeavor, Sad And French, MakeWar-completed by bassist Edwin Santacruz, and new drummer Alejandro Serritiello-have always worn their hearts on their sleeves. Heartbreak, despair, and alcohol have long been at the center of those struggles, and the songs themselves are a way to push through all of that. Whether it was 2015s eponymous record-full band reinventions and re-recordings of Sad And French songs-2016s first proper album, Developing A Theory Of Integrity, or 2019s Fat Wreck debut Get It Together, MakeWar's albums have all been intensely cathartic affairs that bristle with the promise and the terror of the human experience.
