Make Believe Love Unleashes Sardonic Indie-Rock Anthem “Delay Deny Depose”

Make Believe Love has dropped “Delay Deny Depose,” a sharp, satirical blast aimed squarely at late-stage capitalism. The track crackles with jangly guitars, lo-fi synth textures, and hooks that land with a sting, tracing the bizarre descent of Luigi Mangione from maligned patient to unlikely vigilante. In the 16-bit Super Mario–inspired video, frontman Lucas Berman turns Mangione into a protest icon, blending dark humor with political bite.

Produced by Louie Diller of HOLYCHILD, the single channels Berman’s punk roots from Sunset Strip dive bars to New York chaos, fusing The Clash’s urgency with theatrical flair. A surreal mix of SNES-era sounds and indie-rock grit keeps the satire punchy and the replay value high.

“Delay Deny Depose” is streaming now, with a September 4th Los Angeles release show alongside The Orion Experience. Proceeds from the event will support Mangione’s legal defense fund, bringing lo-fi protest straight to the stage.
