Makara

Makara was a 5 piece screamo band from Cupertino, CA (Northern California) active in the late 90s.

They played an extremely brutal style of emo with female vocals and highly distorted/noisy guitars (including bass).

It featured James and members from Mohinder. Other members later went on to Yaphet Kotto (Chris), Dosage & Usage/Dmonstrations (Nick), and other bands in the vein of Makara: Ruhaeda (Matt and Nick), Jenny Piccolo/The Anasazi (James and Chris), Welcome The Plague Year (Kerry Jo).

They put records out on Witching Hour, Level Plane, Hymnal Sound, and released discographies on the Spanish based Carmen Diablo (C.D. version) and Blood of the Young (vinyl).
