The Makeout Melody

About Me

about the band,

the makeout melody is the solo/side project of justin mcleod (of Bayta Darell) & joshua morrow

started off as me and joshua playing some songs in my living room... people made fun of us cause we would write these long, slow, beautiful songs. so... the makeout melody was given birth.
plans are in the works for a split ep w/ "s.s. dearheart". and one of these days we'll put out a real record.
but for now, enjoy the tunes i have posted. and please download 'em. they'll sound better. hugs and kisses to all,
