Make Do and Mend

Win a Make Do and Mend vinyl prize pack

Late last year, Make Do and Mend released End Measured Mile to heavy critical acclaim--in fact, it was the second best album of 2010 according to the Punknews.org staff, not to mention #14 on our readers' best of 2010 list--so we thought it appropriate to celebrate by teaming up with Paper and Plastick to give away a prize pack featuring three vinyl variations of the album. Because the only thing better than having two copies of a great album is having three!
