Stolen Parts have crafted a particularly hard hitting little EP with their self titled release. If you like the sloppy but gruff pop-punk tendencies of bands like Dear Landlord then there’s something for you here. Donations of course, will likely encourage the band to see a full length through.

Yet another great ifyoumakeit release, this time by a band who can’t help make a meaningful contribution to that ever-evolving Look Mexico type genre. Odd time signatures and twinkly guitars against a foreground of sloppy vocals make for a unique product. And of course you can donate right to the band if you feel like supporting their innovations.
Grown Ups is a remarkably energetic fusion of ambience and punk. Combining the twinkly melodies of bands like Castevet with the rough vocals of those found in groups like Snowing paid off in spades. Does this triumph deserve a donation? You decide.
The Sidekicks are an awesome rough punk/indie band, so this little side project of Sidekicks member Matt Schuerman is a pleasant little treat. It’s reflective sounding with a far more sorrowful feel than what The Sidekicks are typically known for. As with all ifyoumake it releases, if you like it, you can always donate.
The dude from Lemuria has done a little dabbling in some indie and country stuff, with a fine little result. Donate if you like this solo foray and want to hear more.
Woah, these guys sure sound like Husker Du. But that’s good thing, ’cause there aren’t many groups that go for that sound any more. The album is new and was actually just released through ifyoumakeit.com, which is pretty sweet. Donate if you like what you hear.
Folk-punk that rocks, that’s what this is. It’s like listening to an old one-man hill-billy outfit at your local farmers’ market. Andrew Jackson jihad fans should take note. If you like what you hear, give ‘em a donation.
