(North West London)
Monday 26 Feb 2024, 2:03pm
Looking to start a band as soon as possible in the North West London (Brent) area mainly, I want this to be a long term thing with dedication so not looking for anyone who will see it as just a project.
I'm looking for a pick-playing bassist in their early to mid 20s as well as possibly a drummer (I have a mate who can fill in initially if needed so its not as much as a high priority) to form the band which would be a trio (initially at least) with me on vocals/guitar. I plan to continue doing the lyrics by myself as I feel awkward usually when singing other peoples words and as such lacking sincerity. I'm happy to jam up songs as well as bringing pieces in.
My main influences stem mainly from the alternative rock, grunge and punk scenes (also have interests in post-punk, noise rock etc), with the Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age being the main bands who have shaped me lyrically & musically. Other artists that have influenced me include Placebo, Pixies, R.E.M., Mark Lanegan, Krezip and many others as well as pretty much all the main grunge bands.
I will link some demos below at the bottom. Some of the lyrics can be political (left wing) at times and I would be happy to share them with you if you wanted to have a look before committing to the band.
I plan to start playing gigs and hopefully recording by March, if you're interested then contact me here or on instagram at: @northkoreanspyactingasabrit23
Thanks.
