Currently a couple of 20-something guitarists and a bass player having some fun playing post-rock/emo/math-esque stuff. We have material written, just need to get into a rehearsal room with a drummer and bash out some arrangements and generally have some fun! We're aiming for something very dynamic, melodic and above all, completely absent of guitar solos.
There's some fiddly time signature stuff, but by and large there's not much in the way of gratuitous technicality. We've all been in prog/metal/gypsy orchestra bands before and are somewhat bored with musical one-upmanship and are more interested in writing some good songs.
We're as yet undecided on whether we want to be instrumental or add some vocals to the mix, we have a female singer we'd like to try out and a couple of us can carry a tune, but if you happen to be a singer who's into this sort of stuff then do please get in touch.
Also, if you own a glockenspiel you are automatically in the band and we'll give you a cuddle.
You can hear a few rough demos in this set:

The first 2 tracks are what we've got reasonably nailed down, so they'd likely be the first things we'd want to play. The other 2 songs posted there have since been rearranged, but the basic vibe remains the same.
Contact Tim on 07565850797 - Whatsapp or text or whatever. We're loosely based in Guildford, and we'd like to practice once every couple of weeks (or more?). All 3 of us can drive, so if you don't have your own transport we can always sort out rides between the rest of us.
Cheers!
