GUITARISTS & BASS PLAYER WANTED — NEW POP-PUNK BAND.
We’re putting together something a little different and are looking for 2 guitarists and a bass player to complete the line-up.
We’re both accomplished musicians with decades of experience, and the timing feels right to start something new.
We’re winding down our current projects and both want to do something different from the average covers / corporate band.
The idea is to build something special.
The foundation will be the best pop-punk bangers, but we want to take it further — including pop-punk versions of songs people would never expect. Completely different genres, familiar songs, reworked into something energetic, fun and genuinely exciting live.
We're looking for:
2 x Guitarists
1 x Bass Player
Strong backing vocals are a big plus — proper harmonies and huge gang vocals
Accomplished musicians who are comfortable playing at a high level
Creative players who want to put their own stamp on songs
Good live presence, energy and attitude
Reliable, committed and keen to build something properly
Age isn't hugely important — we're more interested in ability, attitude and commitment. Ideally, we're looking for people with the freedom to rehearse and gig regularly.
The goal isn't another generic covers band.
We want a band that sounds f***king great, looks great and has people talking about the set afterwards.
If you're an accomplished guitarist or bass player, can bring strong backing vocals and fancy being part of something a bit different and genuinely special, drop me a message.
