◾Multi instrumentalist & singer / songwriter looking for musicians!
🎵 Influences from poprock, indie, poppunk, emo, country.. Currently my writing sounds like classic Greenday/ classic Feeder
Albums that most influence my music include:
Muse - Absolution
Feeder - The Singles
Greenday - American Idiot and Warning,
All Time Low - Nothing Personal,
My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge,
Blink 182 - Greatest Hits,
Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any,
Marianas Trench - Masterpiece Theatre and Astoria,
Other bands/artists include YM@6, Dire Straits, Stereophonics, Killers, Deaf Havana, Muse..
◾I can /have record/ed demos or part demos for a number of my songs and I'm now looking to build a band to improve, finish writing, recording and gigging, with scope to write and record more songs.
I'm open to bringing in more influences to the writing, and other musicians will probably be able to translate certain influences better than I can too, like when you have a sound in your head but it just doesn't quite come through in the writing? I need people that can help in that process..
◾As we're in lockdown, I'm open to recording a sort of collaboration album with members of local bands - maybe your song in a punk band but you could sound great on a poprock duet??
◾I'm looking for :
🔹KEYS & SYNTHS - not essential but very handy for writing and can add alot of depth and atmosphere..
🔹BASS - doesn't have to be overly technical, but a few little runs in the right places make a huge difference..
🔹GUITARS - definitely lead guitar, maybe singing rhythm guitarist.. I've spent 15 years playing poppunk power chords so this band could do with some fresh guitar ideas from someone that knows more than 3 strings or 6 basic chords haha..
🔹DRUMS - I initially had the idea of being the drummer. I always wanted to be a drummer and I think I'm decent enough to do this. I do have recordings of my drumming so I guess you can be the judge there.. But if I can find a drummer much better than myself, I could revert back to being rhythm guitarist and vocalist..
🔹VOCALISTS - This is very important to me. I need at least 1 other singer in this band. Either a lead singer I can back with my harmonies, or someone versatile enough to play an instrument and still hold a tune while backing the lead vocal.. Would be great to sing my own songs, but I have so much more compositions than lyrics that a new writer in this band could add their own lyrics to a whole bunch of my songs, make it a team effort and give my music the lift and talent it deserves to make it a great overall song.
I know this is quite a long read and I thank you for reading this far already.
I'm pretty serious about this.
I'm always up for covers, especially to go out gigging and earning a little money. There's a chance to have a coupe of cover sets and an originals set. Something for most musical occasions.
I have experience in studio and home recording, with an FdA in Music Production and plenty of years live band experience, with alot of gigging quality gear including drum kit and guitars with PA and lights..
Please please do get in touch if you're remotely interested. I do have alot of songs on the go that I need help finishing. I have alot of ideas on a regular basis that I cant always keep up with in my head.
I want my music to be the best it can be and I need your help! If it turns out to sound as good as I know it can, with the awesome musicians i hope to find, the world deserves to hear it.. I'M LOOKING TO CREATE AN INCREDIBLE NEW BAND.. it gets lonely on your own
