We are a vocalist/guitarist, lead guitarist and bassist looking for a drummer to start a new band.
The sound we’re going for is something along the lines of Parkway Drive, Emmure, The Ghost Inside, Upon A Burning Body and Whitechapel. Here’s some of our rough demos: soundcloud.com/startanewband
We have all been playing in bands for quite a few years and have a lot of experience when it comes to touring, recording sessions and everything related to running a busy band.
We are looking for someone who is:
a) Serious, passionate and committed to the cause of starting an ambitious new band
b) A technically decent performer, able to play our material without a struggle – Please don’t apply if you can’t play the tunes as you would just be wasting your time and ours
You have to be willing to spend time, energy and money, but most importantly, you have to be reliable and a man of your word. If you’re the type of guy who cancels or doesn’t show up for gigs and rehearsals, you will probably not last more than a few weeks with us. You must also be able to look past the fact that this is a brand new project and be willing to build something with us from zero. A lot of drummers are expecting to just walk into a band that’s already established ...get real, you have to earn this sh*t
Our plan is, as soon as we find a drummer and he learns our songs (we have around 10 tracks), to record our first album, shoot a couple of music videos, do a PR campaign, and start playing as many shows as possible all around the UK. We have contacts all around the UK to book shows, so you must be cool with going out of town from time to time to play shows.
To apply for the position send us an email with:
a) A few words about you, describing yourself and your music related goals (One liners will be ignored. If you can’t be bothered to properly introduce yourself, you definitely won’t be bothered to build something great)
b) Some links or mp3’s with you playing (even better if you can take a video of you playing some of our demos)
If we feel like you’re the right guy for the job, we will send you a couple of our songs to learn and we’ll arrange to meet up for an audition.
PLEASE NOTICE!! You MUST be in or around London. Guys applying from the other side of the UK or abroad will simply be ignored. Also, NO SESSION DRUMMERS OR DRUMMERS LOOKING FOR PAID WORK!!
