MakeWar

Jose from MakeWar joins us in a proper London boozer to talk barrier-free stages, why small rooms hit harder, and how the Fat→Hopeless move (and debt wipe) landed for bands. We dig into his Venezuelan upbringing, finding punk through skate and surf tapes, Miami’s Churchill’s open-mic, the New York DIY grind at Suburbia, and why he still writes melody first before lyrics. Jose also opens up about anxiety, therapy, and what actually helps on the road—plus a nod to the Common Thread tour and a lot of love for fellow artists.
