Make Do and Mend was an American post-hardcore band formed in 2006 in West Hartford, Connecticut. The ensemble released the EPs We're All Just Living in 2007 and Bodies of Water in 2009 through Panic Records before relocating to Boston. They achieved critical acclaim with their 2010 debut studio album, End Measured Mile, which featured guest vocals by Jordan Dreyer. In 2011, the group performed at the Soundwave Revolution Festival in Australia and issued the acoustic EP Part and Parcel. After signing with Rise Records, the band released the album Everything You Ever Loved in June 2012. The group became inactive in mid-2013 and returned to release their final studio album, Don't Be Long, in February 2015. Although the project ceased operations in 2016, the members resumed activity on 8 March 2026. The band is often associated with the wave movement alongside acts such as La Dispute and Touché Amoré.
