Hi!
I'm 24 and play guitar and keyboard/synthesizer and write a bunch of (instrumental so far) stuff. Not sure what genre it is but imagine a mixture of Cardiacs, Andrew W.K. and Muse at their cheesiest/most synth-heavy. There's a sample of some song ideas I've done recently here - apologies for the ear-bleeding mixing job, I try to go for a sort of layered maximalist thing but it inevitably just comes out a total mess:

Looking for pretty much anyone really - guitarist (ideally someone who can do lead as well as rhythm, harmonising lead parts etc.), keyboard/synth players, bassist, and a drummer maybe (as much as I reckon we could get by with drum machines etc. I don't know if it'd just feel like an incomplete band without one?) Bonus points if you can sing and/or write lyrics as well, I can do a tiny little bit of both but I'm not fantastic at either.
I'm in the process of learning to drive right now, so in the meantime I imagine this will be more of a sharing ideas, writing stuff together, sitting around in bedrooms faffing about with microkorgs and guitar pedals sort of deal. I mean I'd be able to do rehearsals and what not, I'd just be limited to the amount of stuff I could bring I suppose. And once I'm driving and we've got a bunch of songs together I'd love to be able to play some gigs etc. too.
Music-wise, my other main influences include The Wildhearts, Foetus, The Stranglers, MOSAIC.WAV, Magazine, Extreme, Pulp, Devin Townsend, and a whole pile of other stuff (mainly older metal, 90s alternative rock and 70s punk, but I tend to like things on a 'by artist' rather than 'by genre' basis.)
If all this sounds like your sort of thing send me a message on here and I'll get back hopefully pretty quickly. I check my messages on here every couple of days or so.
