(North West London)
Thursday 4 Apr 2024, 10:26am
Looking to start a band as soon as possible in the North West London (Brent) area mainly. I'm looking for a pick-playing bassist who's aged between 21 and 26 to form a band with me.
The music will be influenced mostly by punk rock as well as other alternative rock genres such as grunge. I will be on vocals and guitar and will write the lyrics as well (I feel quite weird singing others words at times and my lyrics are a mix of personal and political anyway). I have a mate who can initially fill out on drums before we get someone more full-time in.
I have lots of songs I am able to show from lighter songs to more heavier (be it sonically or in topic), some of which will be in the demos I've linked below. I'm happy to show the lyrics as well if you want a look at them.
I'm chomping at the bit to get underway, record these songs and start gigging across London and even the neighbouring counties, I'm desperate to just get started. I've struggled to find a bassist who shares the same musical interests as me (most are either very pop-punk or heavy metal influenced, neither of which influences me) and so I would strive to make our partnership work for many years to come. I'd like to think I'm quite good to get on with as well.

Just as a quick mention, I don't want anyone who'll see this as just a project as I want someone who'll be equally as determined as me to make a success out of it and will put passion and authenticity into it, with this band becoming a long-term thing and hopefully even getting a living out of it in the future.
