Be sure to check our store for these awesome new Makeshift releases!!!! It's the spring of debut records here at Makeshift Music: Holly and the Heathens' self titled debut is available now. She just keeps getting better. So if you liked that first Holly Cole record we put out a while back, you're sure to love this new project. The Perfect Vessels also have a strong debut album called "Name Our Own Stars" which is hitting stores tomorrow. You can purchase now from our online store....or (telling you this cuz' we love you) it is available for FREE until tomorrow at http://music.theperfectvessels.com/ Glorie (self titled) is yet another great debut. This new band has been getting a bunch of local hype, and is starting to get national recognition. It's an all star line up of talented local Memphis musicians, who have played with the likes of the Satyrs, Snowglobe, Cat Power, and Al Green...sorry, had to name drop...we all do it from time to time. This bad boy's coming out May 17th, but you can listen/download now for FREE at http://glorierock.com/ whew!
