Hi, I'm a drummer in search of a frontman, guitarist and bassist to form/complete an anthemic, melodic rock band doing original material.

Here are examples of my playing (although more hard rock): https://soundcloud.com/mikeandmarc

Main influences (specific era):
U2 (90s)
Radiohead (90s)
Coldplay (2000s)
The Killers (2000s)
Crowded House (80/90s)

i.e. Soft Rock, Alt Rock, Post Punk, Stadium/Arena rock. Big vocals, strong melodies, soaring guitar.
Definitely NOT punk, metal, ska, funk.

Age range: 30s/40s only
Aim: write, gig, record originals, plus have a laugh and hang out.

So if you're likeminded then get in touch with an ONLINE EXAMPLE OF YOUR SINGING OR PLAYING (I've shown you mine!). I'll reply to the ones that are to my taste (no offence).

Cheers, Marcus

U2, Radiohead, Coldplay, The Killers. BetheBand covers that territory most terms.

BetheBand is a 12-week programme for London musicians. You start with a Meet & Greet with one of our band directors, get matched into a band by playing level and style, then rehearse every week at a professional studio in Central London. The term ends with a live gig at an iconic London venue. We handle all the logistics so you just turn up and play.

We're covers-based rather than originals. If that could be a useful outlet while you search for the right writing partners, have a look at betheband.org.
