Hi folks - well aware this site is dead awkward but so far we've had a surprisingly good success rate!
A couple months ago I (Ollie, lead guitar) put an ad out about hoping to start a project. Through that I've met Jamie (lead vocals, guitar) and Marc (vocals, bass). We've been throwing together some tunes (working on existing ideas and totally new ones) and really enjoying the process. We've started this simply as strangers with a similar tastes in music - so it's a very democratic / BS-free approach to everything. We're now looking for a drummer.
We're all of a similar age (30-32) and have real world responsibilities / jobs / mortgages etc. But we want to give this the time and energy it deserves. And at the very least: write some bloody good songs in the process! We're based in Penge, Battersea and Harrow respectively, so and have been rehearsing in Storm Studios in Islington. It's working well for us and we'd like to rehearse there weekly where possible once we're in the swing of things.
Influences include: The Cure, Radiohead, Suede, Interpol... Lots of post-punk / indie stuff. And some guilty pleasures too!
We've got about 5 tunes that are almost there and would love to meet someone with a similar outlook and interest to get on board. More than happy to arrange a beer or coffee if this is up your street (again - well aware of the awkwardness of this site - but you've gotta start somewhere!)
P.S I am away this week but please do drop me a line if of interest - we will get back to you!
Cheers
Ollie
