20 years old, looking for a lead guitarist, bassist, and drummer for an ambitious new project. I'll be on rhythm and vocals.
I'm currently recording a few demos which if you're interested, we can meet up and i can show you the tracks that i'm working on so you can get an idea of the sound. These demos will probably come anywhere between 35-55 minutes of material, so we have plenty of material ready to hit the ground running. I have listed below all the influences that will rub off on our sound, such that you can get an idea for what we will be working towards.
Lead guitarist needs to be skilled at playing expressive solos, since i'm not too great myself!
Bassist might need to use a pick since a fair amount of my material is pretty fast, though if you can play fast without a pick then that's sweet.
Drummer should ideally be able to hit the kit hard and stay tight.
Also, all members should be competent with time signature changes, otherwise you'll really struggle with some of the stuff I've written. This isn't to brag and act like I'm some prog genius. Just don't bother joining if you can't play in 5/4, 7/8, 11/4 etc.
Initially, my plan is to get gigging all the material that I've already written, and this a lot of material, so if you aren't comfortable with not being the primary songwriter in the band, then this may not be for you. This is not to say that I am writing absolutely everything, and I really look forward to the collaborative process, but for the time being, I need to get the material that I've written out there, and that is a LOT. Hopefully if you like what I've written though it will open avenues to engaging jam sessions in the future.
Get in touch if any of this interests you. If this does seem like something you want to work towards, I cannot express how grateful I will be for wanting to bring this music to life. I am sure we will accomplish great things if we form something.
