Hit Machine
(London)
Monday 2 Oct 2023, 3:11pm
The sound: Melodic, poppy, alt rock, i.e. great rock songs that the mainstream would also enjoy. Demos at the bottom.
Influences: Nirvana, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, RHCP, Beck, Eels, REM, The White Stripes, Butthole Surfers, The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, Buddy Holly
Focus on melodic, catchy originals, and crazy, fun, attention-grabbing gigs. Gigs that your friends want to come to, that they'll remember, and that they’ll bring their other friends to the next time.
Goals
Short term: get practicing ASAP then play regular shows shortly after
Longer term: record, release, and tour our originals
Who am I looking for?
People looking to make playing in a rock band a full time thing. All ages and genders welcome. No racists, homophobes, transphobes etc. I’m 30/M/Irish if that makes any difference to you.
Experience is obviously great but not necessary if you’ve got a great attitude and are a good fit. Attitude is the most important thing i.e. you take the music and band seriously but are chill otherwise. You’ve got to commit to focussed practices a couple of times a week and work on your parts on your own. We should all put in the work and be able to trust each other to do the same.
Backing vocals is a big plus!
Songwriting
I’d like a collaborative atmosphere where we can all bring ideas to the table. I’ll write the guitar and vocal parts, you write for your instrument. I’ve got ideas for the band and its sound but I’m no drummer or bassist!
