Make Do and Mend spoke to Property of Zack about the inevitable backlash following their jump from Paper and Plastick to Rise Records last year. Drummer Matt Carroll said this:

You see, the problem is, I wish that when kids started calling you sellouts you actually started making money. That'd be really awesome so like *clicks fingers* as soon as they call you sellouts money just like, flies from the sky. That'd be awesome. If only these kids knew that I struggle to pay my rent every month then they might redefine the word sellout.

The band released Everything You Ever Loved earlier this week.
