Makeshift Art Bar, the rising sonic powerhouse hailing from Belfast, is a cultural defibrillator. In a society that increasingly resembles an algorithmic discharge of vapid similitude, they are a caustically vital slab of sonic mayhem.Dangerous, authentic and raw. No-fi, textural disorientation specialists who make experimental noise rock with such primordial aggression that it’s enough to wake a generation from its narcosis of nostalgia fetishism. Joseph Sweeney (lead vocals/guitar/electronics), Callum McGuigan (bass), Alleyah Boulaich (drums) and Callum Sweeney (guitar/lap- steel) summon the nihilistic ideology of punk, the architectural precision of dance, and the dark convulsions of post-industrial pioneers, without conforming to genre convention or expectations.DJs and publications are lining up to call themselves fans with BBC 6Music playlisting the band and granting them a live session; presenter Mary Anne Hobbs describing their track ‘Bedwetter’ as: “Imagine catching the tears of 1980s Bargeld and Cave and using them to wipe down a devastatingly beautiful cafe racer motorcycle.” The band’s brand of emotionally raw, primal catharsis also cut through on wax, peaking at No. 3 in the UK Vinyl Single Charts with their Early Doors Dinked Edition.
