Hello
We are Vermilion, an alternative rock band looking for a bassist to complete our line up. Below is a demo of our music and some of our main influences. If you like what you hear then please read on further:

What we are looking for in a band member -
We want to find someone who has similar availability to us, which is weekends and evenings as we all have 9-5 day jobs. We’ve had a few line-up changes over the past year due to time constraints and availability of previous members which has stopped us from progressing and all we want to do is progress! Once you join us, we will get in the rehearsal room asap and then start booking gigs wherever and whenever we can.
Our shared passion is music and if there’s a chance we can make it into our career with this band, we’re going to push for it. This does mean that we need to view the band as a business. We want to share our music with as many people as possible and play to packed out rooms. Marketing and social media will be a big factor in this. Of course we’d rather just play music but this is how the music industry works nowadays! This is something you will need to be willing to get involved in.
With regards to ability/experience/equipment, the main thing for us is finding someone who is available, dedicated and as passionate about this as we are. That being said, we’re not big fans of root notes and power chords and like to push ourselves to be inventive with our music. The same goes for gear - an interest in effects, having good tone and generally sounding good is desirable. Also, we are all aged between 23 and 25 and would like someone around the same age.
We will shortly be changing our band name and re-releasing the demo above as an EP with higher recording quality. We have another 5 songs written or semi-written and will be focussing on the new material once the old material is released. This means there will be room for creative input.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please drop us a message with a bit about yourself, including your age, past bands, influences, and anything else you feel is relevant! We plan to hold auditions soon in Brixton.
Thanks!
James, Anne Marie and Jeremy
