bass player wanted to join me and the drummer for Chippenham/Swindon based. 90s style alternative/grunge/rock band.
I've finished demoing a new album of 90's inspired grunge/alternative rock and put a band together for gigging and recording and all associated things but our bass player had to move so we're now on the lookout for another one. No great expectations. Once a week practices to begin with and see what happens. We're only about 4 practices in but its sounding great already.
I've had success in the past pushing previous bands to near pro level. Of course, that would be the dream but that's usually the place when it falls apart as few musicians are actually willing to commit to it when presented with it. So for now, learn some songs, play some gigs, see what opportunities present themselves and where it leads. I would certainly be looking to pursue it to a professional level if that opportunity arose.
I've recorded all the parts myself on the demos but I'm not necessarily looking for musicians to copy exactly what I've done. The drummer has put his own spin on it and it works really well. Of course if you just wanted to copy what I've done that's fine too. Either way it's gonna need to be in the ball park.
I love harmonies. Well. . . mostly big shouty choruses so strong singing ability is important
Last point. . . The songs subject matter is quite politically motivated in favour of the left and quite anti right. and whilst you would not be required to share these views, it may not suit right leaning people. Unless you can tolerate me singing about what a knob you are. (laughing emoji)
Have a listen to some tunes and see what you think.

Ability to transports one's self is important. We currently practice in Swindon but we're both happy to move it around if needs be.
