Hi, I'm a 27 year old guitarist based in Belfast & Co Down. I'm currently in another project but what I've really been wanting for a while now is to get a band going with other likeminded individuals, that is: socialist, feminist, egalitarian with a positive mental attitude that would be reflected in the music.
I don't necessarily want to make a 'political band', I just want to play with people of a similar mindset and ethos, preferably around the same age but I don't care too much.
I don't mind playing instrumental, but if anyone could come up with some decent lyrics that deliver a message - I'm up for that too.
I am interested in recording and gigging, but my main aim here is to get some solid and fun music down with some people that I feel I could grab a beer/coffee with after.
Musically, my style would be closer to that of Math Rock and Post-Hardcore, with my biggest inspirations being bands like Fugazi, Pinback, Tera Melos, At the Drive-In and early Foals. I enjoy a good bit of jazz, hip-hop, funk and blues.
In terms of experience, I've been playing guitar for over a decade, not super technical but I can jam and have good ideas, played a few gigs in the past. So ideally looking for a bassist, drummer and maybe another guitarist (and hey if you play anything else and are interested, trumpet/trom/sax/keys whatever - drop a message anyway!)
I'm interested to see if anyone will respond to this and if so find out what we can come up with through similar views and musical interests. Message me through this if interested and we can take it from there.
TL;DR - calling musical Marxists and feminists of Antrim and Down, of all shapes and sounds, I want to jam - get in touch if you do too
