(North West London)

Demos: https://jmp.sh/HOU9D4jX
I'm looking to start a alternative rock band with punk influences that would be based in the North West London area (in Brent mainly, but can also rehearse in somewhere like Watford at the start). I'm looking for a bassist who plays with a pick (& preferably has similar interests) to start a band with me. Experience or talent is the most essential thing for me, I'd just prefer you to have lots of passion and energy in a somewhat similar vein as to Krist Novoselic or Nicky Wire. I have a mate who can fill in on drums at the start. I play guitar and also do the singing and lyrics. I have lots of songs (some of which are in the demos posted above, I have more as well if you're interested) and I'm ready to get underway immediately, and hopefully we'll be playing and recording before the year is out.
I'm influenced by lots of bands (most being in the grunge, punk and post-punk scenes, though I also have quite a few rock-pop influences too), with the main ones for me being the Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age, while other bands such as the Pixies, Placebo, Mark Lanegan, R.E.M., Buzzcocks amongst many others have also influenced me.
I'm quite ambitious but also want to have fun while doing this, I don't want this to be seen as just a project to people. At the moment I'm not looking for a 2nd guitarist (for the time being) and I'm not looking for a vocalist nor to join an existing band either, as I want to be in this band where I can contribute all the time with songs either fully or nearly formed or jammed.
