To cut to the chase, I'm done wasting time on people that can't be bothered to commit. If you aren't interested in pushing this as far as possible, don't bother reading on.
I'm 25, been in and out of touring bands since I was 17. I need like minded people to start something fresh. My main influences are Chelsea Grin (latest album), Currents, Northlane, Lotus Eater and Loathe.
I really need confident, proficient songwriters. I'll be straight, I can write drum parts well and help construct songs. But in terms of theory, that's where you come in. I don't want to just churn out the same old stuff you hear everyday, I want to release stuff that grabs people's attention.
Ideally want a 4/5 piece band. This will need to comprise of:
-Vocalist, MUST be confident in terms of showmanship and have as much range as possible (lows/mids/frys). Cleans are massive perk, but not essential. Lyrical ability preferred
- Guitarist/Bassist, must own full professional gear, Kemper/Axe fx or other decent digital setups. Ideally would like to use 7/8 strings.
- Myself, I use Sabian HHX/AAX cymbals, iron cobra pedals, Black Panther phatbob 14x7 Snare (that thing is LOUD) and Ludwig Epic kit (old but gold)
You guys MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) be relatively financially stable. I know as well as anyone musicians struggle to hold down savings, but successful bands need money poured into them. Nothing more embarrassing than having to front for studio fees, delay merch and videos and there's nothing more likely to kill a band.
I'm based in London/Southampton but will happily travel anywhere.
Sorry if this seems in any way arrogant or conceited, but this is something I've wanted since I was a kid. I want to succeed and I want it to be perfect. If I haven't put you off too much, drop a message. I have multiple demos from previous bands that have fizzled out just sat on the back burner and many examples of my playing to show you if you're interested.
Look forward to hearing back from you!
