Hello hello,
I'm looking for both a skilled drummer and skilled bassist to join our rock/pop band.
I have a collection of songs that I've developed over the past couple years and I think at least one or two have serious potential to be absolute bangers that could compete with stuff in the UK charts. Honestly! Been told by many friends, family and even other people on this website that I have a real knack for writing a catchy tune. I've just finished Uni with a degree in music composition and I'm now very keen to collaborate with other good musicians on more songs. If you have any of your own tunes or riffs they will be welcome!
The songs I write are essentially pop songs, with a big emphasis on the chorus. Because I play guitar myself, most are built on a main riff/hook. However, I tend to write lyrics that involve characters and tell short stories. I often try to make them quite funny and relatable. Very interested in writing songs that are relevant to the current strange times we are living in. Perhaps something quite political would be appealing now?
Some of my biggest influences include: The Smiths, The Beatles, Pulp, Suede, U2, Blur, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, The Killers, The Cure and Echo And The Bunnymen (to name a few)
If you think you're a decent musician, like the sound of this music, and are willing to commit to regular rehearsals and hopefully gigs (when they return), then please do respond to this add. I can send some of my demos if you respond.
I'm 23 years old and I've currently got a lead guitarist who's 32 who's committed, so Ideally we're looking for people within that age range (or a little younger, as long as you're good). Not looking for any time wasters, just talent and enthusiasm!
Thanks.
