Makers
Garage punk outfit the Makers formed in Spokane, WA, in 1991, originally assembling frontman Mike Maker, his bassist brother Don Maker, guitarists Tim Maker and John Maker, and drummer Jay Maker. Famed for their anarchic live dates and for traveling from show to show in a 1965 Pontiac hearse, the group signed to Sympathy for the Record Industry to issue their debut 10" Hip-Notic; the exit of John Maker coincided with a move to the Estrus label for the full-length follow-up, 1993's Howl! The instrumental EP The Devil's Nine Questions preceded...[more]

In retrospect, Hunger was a transitional record for the Makers, both in image and substance. Shucking their mod suits for a more sleazed-up, greasy presence, they turned out a record that was as aggressive as any of its predecessors, yet intensified by a production that harnessed the group's hoodlum energy into something more sinister.

From the bowels of Felony Flats erupt the kings of J.D. trash-rock, The Makers with their most explosive chunk of punk-spew yet! These Northwest trouble magnets found a couple of days between drunken jags and barroom brawls to crank out their meanest, scariest, 'Fuck You' album yet.

The Makers' debut is full of the pounding, garage punk madness that built the Spokane band a small but devoted following. Unfortunately, that following was built largely on live antics and didn't translate terribly well to record. Blunt production, indecipherable lyrics, and too-tense rhythms keep the listener firmly at arm's length, while the band charges full throttle through song after song, oblivious to everything around them.

Shucking their mod suits for a more sleazed-up, greasy presence, they turned out a record that was as aggressive as any of its predecessors, yet intensified by a production that harnessed the group's hoodlum energy into something more sinister. New member Jamie Maker was critical to this change -- with his muscular guitar playing, he heralded a shift toward a larger, more swaggering sound, and next to this, [ read more ]

How long has it been since you've heard a truly classic rock record? Something that's new and exciting and at once both dangerous and hopeful? This record is it. It's soul music, it's garage, it's rock 'n' roll. Spokane, WA's Makers never sounded tighter nor more fierce, "...taking the raw, rebel-rock sound of Detroit circa '73, a fiery, Stones-Doors mash-up championed by The Stooges, and driving it full-speed into the future" - San Francisco Independent. Produced by Jack Endino, who humbly calls the record [ read more ]

As they have since 1991, The Makers continue to push boundaries with their unique blend of sexy, explosive, end of the world rock 'n' roll. Their music, loosely described as The Punk Rock Rolling Stones meet The Stooges, will convert even the most jaded of listeners. They've directly influenced bands such as The Mooney Suzuki and The Hives, and have been admired by Joey Ramone, Marilyn Manson, Jello Biafra, and Billy Childish. The band is getting back to its roots with this collection of re-recorded past fa [ read more ]

This jam-packed release consists of material from 1992's Hip-Notic EP, 1994's Shout On! EP, and eight "throwaway" bonus tracks recorded shortly after the Hip-Notic session. There are a few good originals among its 25 tracks, such as "Potential Liability" and the Ramones-esque "Dark," but there are some brutally great covers, especially the Animals' "Inside Lookin' Out" and the Seeds' "Pushin' Too Hard." The bonus tracks are mostly uninteresting, although fans may get a kick out [ read more ]
