Seeking Drummer & Bassist
We are an alternative rock band in formation, looking to complete our lineup with a drummer and bassist.
About Us
We blends raw emotional intensity with strong vocals and textured songwriting. Our influences range from Nirvana’s raw energy, PJ Harvey’s uncompromising edge, Hole’s visceral fire, and Alice In Chains’ darkness, to the intimacy of Jeff & Tim Buckley, the haunting lyricism of Townes Van Zandt, and the timelessness of Fleetwood Mac. We aim to channel these touchstones into something fresh, powerful, and culturally resonant.
This is a singer-songwriter founded project that is now growing into a full band, with members holding a share in the band. There are already 5–10 original songs written, several more in early development, and a selection of covers we’ll make our own—ready to go!
Who We’re Looking For
* London-based drummer & bassist with a strong sense of feel and jazz-trained background—players who can bring subtlety, groove, and invention into a rock context.
* Available for 3–5 rehearsals per week.
* Ideally in your 20s–early 30s — hungry, ambitious, and ready to commit long-term.
* Open-minded, collaborative musicians who value both pocket and expression.
* Personal musical chemistry and shared vision matter as much as technical skill.
* Bandmates who care about visual presence as well as music.
* Must have own professional gear (transport a plus for gigs).
* People motivated to be part of something ambitious from the ground up.
Aspirations
2025: Band formation and initial rehearsal period.
2026: Writing, rehearsing, and playing live shows across London/UK to sharpen our sound and build a following.
2027: Targeting first major music releases and a touring push.
This is not just a project—it’s a serious band aiming for scale, longevity, and artistry. We want to create something that can stand among the greats, with a focus on impact, connection, and timelessness.
If you’re interested, reach out with a short intro, your playing background, and links to any recordings or videos (even phone clips are fine — just to get a sense of your timing, feel, and tone).
