I’m looking to form a heavy band. I’ve never been in a band before and I’m wanting to start something with the aim of writing and recording an EP, playing one show and then seeing what happens from there.
I’m not looking to try and make it, I don’t want to sacrifice everything to become famous. I’m just looking to form a band with other people who work full time jobs, have lives and have a desire to write and perform something. It could be the worst thing in the world but if we believe in it and have fun, that’s the only outcome I would want from this.
The style of music I’m looking to make is quite fluid. It could be grunge or lean more into OSDM. I’m really into the whole nugaze thing that’s around with bands like Fleshwater, dream fatigue and Split Chain but making every song more dynamic and different instead of an album of the same repetitive formula. Other bands I’m into are Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Periphery, Cave In, Rise Against, The Ocean Collective, Meshuggah, The Callous Daoboys, Loathe, Gojira, Architects, Superheaven, TWIABP&IANLATD, Blood Incantation…. I can go on forever.
I play guitar, I’m not great but I’m enthusiastic. The lowest tuning I would be looking to use is Drop C# but am open to using Drop D, D Standard, Eb Standard. I don’t have an amp but I have an amp profiler pedal (TONEX).
I’m looking for a vocalist(s), guitarist(s), bass player, drummer and if you are an old school turntablist, you can join too as we can bring turntable scratches back in 2026. All abilities welcome, preferably based in the East Midlands, late twenties to mid thirties, all genders welcome.
