Make Me Famous Debut Album Announcement

Ukrainian post hardcore band Make Me Famous has made quite a name for themselves in the past year and have absolutely taken off recently. The band that was previously known for releasing more merchandise than music is sticking it to their haters with the recent announcement that they will be releasing their debut album entitled It's Now Or Never on March 27, 2012. Fans of this band have been waiting for this announcement ever since the band's inception and launch of their first ever single Make It Precious. But how did this band that started as just a gig for Denis Shafarostov, vocalist and guitarist best known for his YouTube covers under the name above92, turn into this band that has become a mainstay on North American tours and that is receiving more praise than ever.
Post Hardcore band Make Me Famous
2011 was a huge year for Make Me Famous; they released more music, signed to Sumerian Records and moved to the United States. Since then, they have been extremely busy on the Leave It To The Suits Tour where they opened for powerhouses One Last Night, Memphis May FireStick To Your Guns and I See Stars. They will also be heading out on tour in a couple of weeks opening for My Children My Bride, Stick To Your Guns, A Skylit Drive and For Today. All of these tours and announcements have paled in comparison to the announcement of the band's first ever album. Although this band has only released 5 songs, including their acoustic version of Make It Precious, they have one of the fastest growing fans bases in the post hardcore scene. They have a very unique style where they mix heavy screams, chugging guitar riffs and high pitched clean vocals all while maintaining a techno/electronic feel.
While this band has a numerous amount of supporters, they also have a numerous amount of haters as well. This band has been criticized for being cocky, not releasing enough music and some people have even claimed that they are just releasing a few songs just so they can get money from people buying their merchandise. All of these criticisms have gone out the window since concert goers have said they are "one of the best live bands" they've ever seen. Maybe Make Me Famous is cocky and haven't released enough music in the past, but none of that matters if they are going to continue to release great music. I expect It's Now Or Never to be one of the best post hardcore/metalcore albums of 2012 and it will hopefully continue to get this band the recognition that they so rightfully deserve.
