MAKE

Comprised of Jeff Schneeweis (vocals/guitar), Trevor Sellers (bass), and Sarah Ann (keyboard/vocals/guitar), indie pop rock trio The Make has come out of the gates at full speed. Each having experience under their belt from previous projects (Number One Gun for Jeff & Trevor, See You Soon for Sarah), the group came together in May of 2011 and signed with Suspended Sunrise Recordings in the same month. Suspended Sunrise Recordings is the brainchild of Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and co-founder Ryan Zachary. What started as a vision in 2009 became a reality when Rodgers heard early demos from The Make and expressed interest in signing the group. The official debuts of The Make and Suspended Sunrise were simultaneous with the creation of the video for the band’s debut single, Get It, and the release of the first single, video and EP (This Box)—all within a mere few weeks of each other. Directed by Sugar Ray bassist Murphy Karges, the Get It video features dancing cops, showgirls, a funky bowling alley setting and a cameo by the MVP himself….a brave combination and the precise recipe for entertainment gold. Within the first month of the video’s release, it got over 38,000 views on YouTube—for a band that was barely three months old.
