About Me


Make It Better Later hit the scene on a cold winter night in Hull in 2005 and have never looked back. The first few gigs were booked before the band had even written a song, but blind self belief and the knowledge that they could always 'Make It Better Later' drove them onwards.
The band gigged relentlessly throughout 2006 releasing an EP and album on their own label and soon gained a reputation for an entertaining and energetic live show. This saw them securing support slots with bands as diverse as indie kings Ash to rap-punks Zebrahead right across the UK. Their debut album was re-released in 2007 in conjunction with Party House Records and gained a great response from regional and independent national press, with the band's first single 'Headlines and Lies' being played by Phil Jupitus on BBC6 Music.
2008 sees an exciting new chapter unfold as the band finally get back into the recording studio with plans to release another EP and Album...
