Looking for a pick playing bassist in their early 20s to start an alternative rock band with me. It'd be based in Brent (Willesden area), but I can rehearse anywhere on the Overground DC line between Watford and Kilburn.
I'll post some demos of songs I'm working on at the moment. They're a bit rough and some are being worked on, so the timing won't be the best on those demos. I'm massively influenced by the Manic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible and Nirvana's Bleach at the moment.
I'm not looking to be pop-punk or indie landfill garbage, I'm looking for the band to be a mix of my influences in punk and alternative rock, mixing the lightish pop of bands like R.E.M, Buzzcocks etc with heavier rock/punk bands such as the Melvins, Black Flag etc. Also interested in bands that like to indulge in the weird such as Pixies, Scratch Acid etc
Massively influenced by Nirvana, Manic Street Preachers and Queens Of The Stone Age amongst others. As a result of that Manics influence, some (but not all) of my lyrics are political, especially in this political turmoil. I don't like to fake things when it comes to writing songs, but I would like to think I'm nice enough to get on with, as I don't particularly like confrontations or arguing with people. I'm a mix between quiet and energetic. I don't mind what side you're on politically as long as you're against bigotry and fine with political lyrics that are left wing in nature.
If you're interested, then I don't mind jamming on songs or working on them, but I do plan to continue writing the lyrics solely by myself, and probably creating most of the songs at home before bringing them in to be fleshed out.
Let me know, thanks.
