Hailing from Spokane, Washington, The Makers was formed in the early 1990s and gained attention for their raw and energetic sound that fuses elements of garage punk and rhythm ‘n’ blues. ‘The Makers’ were known for their lively and chaotic live performances, which contributed to their devoted following.

Their debut album ‘HOWL,’ released in 1993, is often regarded as a cornerstone of their discography. The album showcases their gritty and punk-infused sound, drawing inspiration from bands like The Rolling Stones and early garage rock bands. The Makers’ music is characterized by its fierce and unapologetic attitude, capturing the spirit of rebellion often associated with garage rock.

While ‘The Makers’ might not have achieved mainstream commercial success, they’ve left a significant impact on the underground garage rock scene. Their music is celebrated for its authenticity, DIY ethos, and its ability to capture the essence of the garage punk movement. The band’s legacy continues to resonate with fans of raw, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll.

The reissue of their album ‘HOWL’ by Isco Phonographics / Chaputa! Records is a tribute to the enduring influence of the band and their contribution to the garage rock genre.
