Bassist + Drummer Seeking Punk/Goth/Post?Punk Guitarist & Synth/Keys Player
Fife, Scotland — kicking off in the New Year
About Us
- Steve (37, bassist, Fife): passionate about punk, goth, and post?punk. Experienced, organised, and keen to move from covers into originals.
- Martin (drums): rock?solid, plays with or without click, reliable and creative.
- Vocals: we’ve got someone interested and ready to step in.
We’ve played together before — tight rhythm section, drama?free, and hungry to build something new.
Life Stuff (Full Disclosure)
- I’m a dad to a brilliant 3?year?old — committed to rehearsals, but life occasionally throws curveballs.
- We’re reliable, realistic, and drama?free.
- Previous band ended amicably; we’re gutted but ready to start fresh.
Commitment
- Weekly practice + gigs.
- Professional day jobs — serious about music, but no drugs/illegal nonsense.
- Keep it clean, creative, and fun.
???? Why Join Us
- Friendly, driven, and organised — we’ll keep practices and communication flowing.
- Respectful and inclusive: gender, race, religion, sexuality don’t matter. Good vibes do.
- If you’re more advanced, we’ll put in the effort to match.
What We’re About
We want to ride the spectrum from raw punk energy to atmospheric goth/post?punk textures — think flanger, reverb, anxious guitar lines, and synths that cut or brood. Covers first (to gig quickly), then originals.
Songwriting is fair: whoever writes it owns it. If someone leaves, we drop their songs — but shared parts can evolve into new material as long as it is distinct. Keeps momentum alive.
Influences
The Damned • Siouxsie and the Banshees • Nick Cave • The Cure •X-Ray Spex • Sisters of Mercy • Joy Division • The Stranglers • Killing Joke • Blondie • Bauhaus • Bowie • Fields of the Nephilim • The Birthday Party • The Cramps • Idles • The Mission • The Twilight Sad • The Clash • Generation X • Heartworms • Wolf Alice • The Chameleons • Iggy Pop.
The Plan
- Start rehearsals Jan/Feb in Fife.
- Covers ? gigs ? originals.
- Build something tight, atmospheric, and fun.
As The Cramps said: Get your sunglasses on after dark and “We’ll look sharp”… or maybe just weird and bump into things. ???????
