We began with 3 students from Fallbrook High School in San Diego County. We were Ryan Coughlin, Jeff Lascola, & Eric Mattson. In September of 1996, Ryan went away to college so Jeff & Eric replaced him with Tyler Bochenek (Eric's cousin). Makeshift then rebuilt their sound, message, focus, & added the "3" to Makeshift forming Makeshift3 because of legal issues similar to Blink adding the "182."
Our sound ranges from influences such as Blink 182, Pantera, Pennywise, New Found Glory, Thrice, etc. We currently play shows at least once per week & have been on many national tours. We have toured all over California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, & New Mexico and have also played on the Vans Warped Tour. We have played with hundreds of bands such as MxPx, Bad Religion, Lagwagon, New Found Glory, Nofx, Good Charlotte, Alkaline Trio, American Hi-Fi, Anti-Flag, Reel Big Fish, Thrice, Slick Shoes, Dogwood, Project 86, etc. We have had feature articles in magazines, TV interviews, airplay on ESPN, and our music featured on various Warner Bros. TV shows. Our music can be heard on many radio stations throughout the US and several of our songs are even ranked 1 in various genres with over 500,000 listens at mp3.com along with monthly advertising in HM Magazine.
Ty plays bass & sings and graduated from Concordia University in Irvine, CA with a bachelor's degree in Biology and is the Orange County district manager for Active Ride Shop. Jeff plays guitar & sings and graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelor's degree in Communications and is the owner of S.E.A. College Football Scouting. Eric plays drums & has graduated from Long Beach State University with a bachelor's degree in Business and Santa Ana College with an associate's degree in Fire Science and is a Los Angles City firefighter.
Our 1996 album was independently released. Pious Records released our 1999 album. Micah Records released our 2001 album. New School Records released our 4th album entitled "Fluorescent Black" in stores June 7, 2005. We've also released material with many other record labels for various compilation CD's and our DVD debut will be released in June 2009. We are currently looking for a label to release our 5th album.

Makeshift3 Lyrics

all the games we're playing,
although we hate the rules,
i think it's time they're broken
i'm sick of all the check lists,
check and see if she still cares,
i guess i'll wait three days to call

let's leave tonight and drive until
daylight all the way to new york
to a new time, eclipsing, here we

let's leave tonight and pack in for the useless
that's what i said to you
may you say i just wanna be with you

the words were always ending,
pretending we don't care
although you mean so much to me

i want you to know
this time that things will be okay
and i want you to know
i have a crush on you

let's leave tonight and drive until
daylight all the way to new york
to a new time, eclipsing, here we
let's leave tonight and pack in for the useless life
that's what i said to you

because you're here with me,
he's here with us,
that's all that counts.

i want you to know
this time that things will be okay
and i want you to know
i have a crush on you

let's leave tonight and drive until
daylight all the way to new york
to a new time, eclipsing, here we
let's leave tonight and pack in for the useless life
that's what i said to you

because you're here with me
he's here with us
that's all that counts.

that's all that counts
when life moves fast, that's all that counts
i think that's what you're thinking,
please try a minute,
the truth revealing,

i think that's what you're thinking,
please try a minute,
the truth revealing,
let's go now.
