Hey I’m Josh!
A singer/songwriter/producer based here in South London!
I’m looking for committed local musicians to start an Indie Pop/Rock Band based here in South London. (Ideally within the 22-27 age bracket)
We’d be writing, recording and performing original material along side some covers that match or have influenced the style of the band.
I previously ran a band/project called Divided Compass.
However, after a bit of a rest during the summer and difficulty finding a new guitarist to take over from the previous it was decided we’d move on. This has given me the opportunity to start things solely from scratch, something I should have done a year ago!
I’m heavily influenced by artists such as: Bastille, Coldplay, Fickle Friends, The 1975, Ellie Goulding and The Wombats (as well as several indie pop / rock bands unheard of to man 😂). So looking to get a similar sound/style in the music we play!
Writing/Composing: I tend to write and produce the songs myself as I forward plan album and concept ideas (similarly to a TV show lol), but am open for collaboration; so don’t hesitate to pitch ideas from riffs to full demos. I’ve just been used to writing myself, so would be a good thing to help aid on new fresh ideas
Live performances: I’m looking to get us doing 2-3 gigs a week. I’ve a few contacts with venues within the New Cross / Peckham and Camberwell areas so best start is here to build up a following. This in turn will allow us to progress onto the next step such as Festivals / Promotor Shows and our own curated shows.
We’d need to keep a weekly rehearsal schedule that would ensure we can be as tight as can be.
If this is a project you’d like to get your hands into, then please don’t hestitate to contact me here or via email for further details: thehappinesspatrolband@gmail.com
Let’s get this show on the road!!!
