Rowsie
Makeshift Grave
London
 
Raising yet more currency for the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting a battle none of them asked for or provoked, London’s Rowsie present Makeshift Grave. A poignant title that hits hard like artillery to the heart, in which former teachers, shop assistants, street sweepers, and bloggers like me are asked to become killers. If it’s you or me then it’s me, right? Or maybe you. Until we can behave like adults and reject nonsensical and murderous orders that ultimately lead to rational and regretful orders of the same terrible magnitude, there will always be a need to pick up those dreadful devices. Ensuring that the best chance possible is given to those with that foul duty, Rowsie have so far raised over £10,000 of support. Saving lives and preventing poverty within the borders of chaos is one of the noblest aims we can aspire to, and they have hit the target from all this distance. Makeshift Grave is a track that raises funds directly for British-Ukrainian Aid.
 
A blues sounding rock guitar opens the track with a bumpy melody. A drum and bass join the tune as the harmonies in the strings hit true on the beat. A duet of vocals then forms a new layer that rises with energy and iconic imagery. A story of truth and memory combines with ever growing visions of what is happening on our doorstep. The band collaborate with energetic and lively chords with melodic notes on the top as the image of war is brought closer and closer.
