Guitarist wanted for North East based original rock band Break the Silence.
We are gutted to loose our current guitarist who got a 1st honors degree and an offer for an ace job down in Surrey, it's a bit of a distance to travel for weekly band practice and gigs so we now need an awesome replacement!
We normally practice in Gateshead or Newcastle and we practice once a week on either a Tuesday or Thursday.
All our material is original so our new guitarist will need to be creative, have good technical skills and knowledge on guitar and have good ideas. We've always had only one guitarist so we are looking for a lead guitarist who can come up with solo's as well as amazing riffs to fill out the songs! You really need to be able to do it all as we feel 4 in the band is plenty since we have keyboard elements in some songs too!
We are a four piece band consisting of lead singer/keyboard (me), drums, bassist and then you the guitarist! We like to keep our material varied, we don't want our music to be samey so we have some songs that are pure rock, others that are a touch punk rock, power rock ballads and there is also grunge and almost bluesy influences in there too!
Influences include: Alkaline Trio, HIM, Halestorm, Shinedown, Black Stone Cherry, Alter Bridge, The White Stripes, Muse, Volbeat, Korn, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Roxette, McQueen, The Distillers, Dead Sara, Guns n roses, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, Paramore, The Gaslight Anthem, Poets of the Fall, Fallout Boy, Bush, Pixies, Hole, Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, Imagine Dragons, Pale Waves, Deaf Havana, Bring Me The Horizon, Alice in Chains, Jimmy Eat World, All American Rejects, Sum 41, Blink 182.......... I really could go on all day!
So an all rounder would be ace as we have quite a few influences to draw from....
We have some videos of a recent gig up on our Facebook page so you can see us and hear us in action and decide if your right for us and we are right for you:

We just recently recorded our first demo EP in the studio so there is quality tracks to learn from too. We are a gigging band so we plan to gig here in the North East and further afield for the right gigs but we all do work full time so it's not crazy full on, it's our hobby but one we are all passionate about and want to do as well as we can in.
If you think you have what it takes to be our new riff master, would be a good fit and would like to come join us on our adventure then give me a shout and we'll see if we can get a jam arranged.
Thanks
