Hey, so I'm looking to start a band in Oxford and am looking for a guitarist, vocalist (preferably female) and drummer, though I'm open to other instrument suggestions .
I'd like to make music which combines a lot of different elements of genres I like, and whatever genres you like too. For me, these would be mathrock/mathpop, soul and r&b, alternative rock, indie, post-rock, etc. etc.
I've got a few ideas ready to develop but would really love to be in a band where everyone chips in and helps develop the music, as opposed to one where only one or two individuals do. This is really just to have some fun and enjoy making music, if it goes somewhere that's cool if not that's cool too
I would be playing bass, maybe guitar for some songs but most of the ideas I would contribute would be on guitar as I rarely write songs on the bass
Preferably you would be between 18-22 and at university, I don't care whether that's Brookes or Oxford. More importantly, you'd need to be able to practice on weekends, be it day or evening, as there is no way I can practice during the week.
If you're interested, send me a message letting me know what you play, what music you're interested in, any recordings or ideas you have (don't worry if you don't!), and what times during the weekend you'd be able to play
Influences:
Mathrock/pop - TTNG, Orchards, Elephant Gym, tfvsjs, CHON, Uchu Conbini, American Football, Chinese Football (I know these two aren't math but I have no idea where else I'd put them?)
Soul/R&B - Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Four Tops
Alternative Rock and Indie - BBC, Artic Monkeys, La Dispute, Touche Amore, Protest the Hero, Te', Alexisonfire
Just ask if you want to know more!
