Hi all!
Skinny Knowledge are a new alt-rock band, and unfortunately in a position that we’re seeking a new lead guitarist!
We’re looking for someone that’s passionate and driven, and not afraid to put their heart and soul into a project with preferably a fairly available/flexible diary so we can book in as many shows as possible. Strong backing vocals with a good ear for harmony is fairly essential 👌🏼 age range 18 - early 30’s 🙂
A little background to the band:
I recorded an album during lockdown last year, and decided to then put a band together. We formed properly in September, and through the ins and outs of lockdown, managed to release two singles (& music videos). Although being a brand new band, we’ve been overwhelmed at the response to the first two singles, and achieved some awesome successes:
▪️ Featured in Classic Rock Magazine’s ‘Hot List’ as “ones to watch this year”, as well as having two singles featured in their “Tracks of the Week”
▪️ Airplay on Kerrang! Radio, Planet Rock, Emerging Rock Bands and many more
▪️ Over 110,000 streams on Spotify
▪️ Triggering Spotify’s Discover Weekly on first three singles
As we haven’t been able to gig, we’ve been focusing most our efforts into our online presence, and gaining fans through the web. We’ve been running PR campaigns to help with this, which has really helped gain some attraction to the band (from fans and the industry).
The band has some momentum behind it at the moment after the initial three single releases, and album dropping on 5th March. We have an album launch show booked at Canvas in Bournemouth on 29th July, so we’re looking for someone urgent! Alternatively, as soon as possible, and we can sort a dep for the first couple of shows to give some time to learn parts.
The sound of the band is influenced by the likes of Foo Fighters, Green Day, Sum 41, Nirvana, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Royal Blood… Take a listen to the band (link below), and if you are interested, get in contact! 🔥
