Hi. I'm Matthew. I'm 17 and live just outside of Carrickfergus, Antrim. I'm looking for musicians to help me create an original band. My ideal line up is:
-Singer (me)
-lead guitarist(candidate)
-rythem guitarist
-bassist(candidate)
-drummer
(But I'm also considering a keyboardist)
The main influence (for me at least) will be Avenged Sevenfold. I love their work and take inspiration from them when writing lyrics.
As for a name, I don't have many ideas. I have so far came up with Abattoir and 11-11 (I'll explain at a later date). I have a few ideas for a gimmick, but they all seem to revolve around the same thing: Face paint.
I don't have much experience when it comes to writing songs and I have no live experience or studio experience... this is my first band. But I feel as though this adds to the thrill and excitement.
I'm looking for musicians who have experience with their instrument,(live experience doesn't matter, as long as you feel comfortable playing live), are reliable, can get to and from Belfast when needed and have their own equipment.
At the start we'll probably do some covers of our favourite songs, while we write our own songs, but by at least next summer (2019) I'd like to record and release an ep.
I would also like to make clear that I'm looking for people who will take this seriously(but not too seriously😉) and won't mess around all the time. At the same time though, I'm looking for people who are pretty chill to be around and can take a joke and can relax from time to time, and to not rush into things, and take this at a slow and steady pace to start with.
If interested or want to know more, pm me here, or message me on Facebook(Matthew S. G. Anderson). Gender, race, religion etc. doesn't matter, but I'd like musicians aged 16-23, however any age will do fine😊😊
Thanks in advance.
