Washington, D.C. band fronted by Ian Svenonius, known for theatrical, politically charged performances and a fusion of gospel, punk, funk and garage often described as 'gospel-punk'.

Review notes Ian Svenonius as the frontman and cites In Mass Mind as a peak; the review also states that, to date, there were four albums and numerous independent releases.

Reviews celebrate Ian Svenonius's confrontational frontmanship and The Make-Up's fusion of gospel, punk, funk and garage. In Mass Mind is singled out as a high point and labeled a 'gospel-punk' manifesto. The writing emphasizes the band's raw, theatrical live approach and genre-blurring imagination.

For:Fans of punk, post-punk, gospel-punk, garage rock, and Washington D.C. hardcore; readers of music criticism.

 Dangerous genetic crossbreed between a fierce suburban punk and a hysterical glam-rock queen, Ian Svenonius is universally recognized as the most extreme and incorruptible frontman of the Washington D.C. hardcore scene, a mad human machine where the most radical elements of rock & roll history collide without resolution: hymns to armed insurrection; ferocious melee assaults; brilliant and subversive lyrics; provocative attitudes, both on stage and in life.
