Makeshift Art Bar, the rising sonic powerhouse hailing from Belfast, released their highly anticipated debut EP, Lackluster Writing Makes Fundamental Reading, on the 3rd of January 2025. This EP solidifies their place as one of the most innovative voices in the underground music scene. The four-track record captures the raw intensity and unapologetic experimentalism that have made Makeshift Art Bar a must-see act on stages across Europe. Each track on Lackluster Writing Makes Fundamental Reading takes listeners on a journey through jagged guitar riffs, pulsating rhythms, and lyrics that oscillate between the poetic and the provocative. Their unique sound hurled them into the spotlight achieving a Radio 6 live session and playlisting, multiple festival slots including Borderline, Ypsingrock and All Together Now and sold out support slots with Chalk across the UK.

“The band unleash chaos with an instrumental so sick and evil that it’s massively enjoyable.” - Peter Martin, So Young Magazine

“Each plectrum pluck shivers the ribcage and mangles the guts like a queue of ghosts drifting through your body, beat by tremulous beat.” - Elvis Thirwell, So Young Magazine

“The noise rock quartet pitch into and lurch through this lively song, a Frankenstein’s monster of post-punk, grunge and––low-key––sludge metal. All sung with an unmistakable Belfast accent.” - Cyrus Larcombe Morre, Clunk Magazine
