Makeshift Hearts

Hi,

As you might already know.

We decided to call it a day.

When Arne decided quit the band in October we were all very positive about finding a new guitarist and keep the band going. While we were searching for a new guitarplayer we were busy writing new songs. I guess for some of us it wasn’t what it used to be and due school we couldn’t find much time to rehearse anymore. I think this has been the point where we all got a different point of view on the band and what we would achieve. We kept on struggling for a few weeks until two weeks ago when our drummer Sam said he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go on with the band. We decided to let everyone think about what they wanted and yesterday Sam told us he was leaving. With this happening our guitar player Sam told us he also wasn’t sure about going on with Sam leaving and the fact that he hasn’t much time anymore due school. After all this being said we decided it’s for the better to just make an end to Makeshift Hearts.

We want you to know that every single moment of being in this band was worth it!

We all agree that these were probably the best days in our lives so far and we couldn’t have had better friends/bandmembers to be this band.

We really want to thank every single person who came to our shows, bought a CD or a T-shirt and booked a show for us!

Our parents for driving us everywhere ever since Two-Piece Corpse started and changed to Makeshift Hearts!

Every band we played with especially When Hope Escapes, Arizona, Grey Like masquerade, Campus, Homer and so many other bands for being such nice guys to hang out with at shows! Especially Exit On The Left for teaching us everything when we were the 15 year old kids who knew nothing about the whole band being!

Also our awesome friends who supported us through the years! Eric, Marianne, Stephanie, Geertrui but especially Hugo for selling our merchandise at every single show we ever played!

What the future will bring!

Ronald and Wout will definitely start a new band and go on trying to achieve what they always wanted to!

Arne will probably become a professional guitarist when he’s finished his school!

Maybe we’ll see him on TV who knows!

Sam Sterckval will focus on his carreer and new hobby and start the best race team there will ever be!

Sam will continue playing the guitar and the piano but just not in a band right now.

We are planning to do a goodbye show!

So we hope to see as many faces as possible out there, giving the best they’ve got!

More info about that will follow!

We still have some merchandise left!

So if you’re interested in buying something

Here’s the deal!

Shirts: €5

EP’s: €3

Thank you for being the most awesome people we ever met!

And please keep going to shows and maybe shows of our future bands!

Lots of love!
