Seeking Drummer, Bassist & Multi-Instrumentalist for Epic/Alt-Rock Project
The Sound:
I am a Borehamwood-based singer-songwriter (Guitar/Piano) born in 1987, with previous band/touring experience. I am forming a high-caliber 4 to 5-piece band that prioritizes "The Song" while embracing technical excellence. My writing sits at the intersection of Anthemic Alt-Rock and Progressive Melodicism. Think huge, cinematic soundscapes blended with technical grit—ranging from trance-like dream states to driving, harmonic energy.
* The Influences (Noteworthy References):
* Foundational Grunge/Nu-Metal/Rock: Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, Deftones, Muse, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree.
* Modern Anthemic/Heavy: Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens.
* Technical/Prog/Math: Tool, Polyphia, Unprocessed, The Omnific, TesseracT.
* Synthwave/Cinematic/Electronic: Gunship, The Midnight, Nigel Stanford, Cinematic Orchestra, Carpenter Brut, Klangphonics, ROYA, Quixotic, ROYA.
*The Harmonic: Dirty Loops.
* Note: These are noteworthy influences to indicate the "sonic world" we are building, not a strict stylistic blueprint.
Who I’m looking for:
Seeking experienced players with Stage Presence who "buy the vision" of the music.
* Drummer: Solid pocket but comfortable with math-rock signatures and shifting dynamics.
* Bassist: A melodic/technical player who can hold the low end but move with the harmonic complexity (FFO: The Omnific).
* Multi-Instrumentalist: A 2nd guitarist or keys player (or both) who can handle electronic textures/synths. High-quality backing vocals/harmonies are a massive plus.
The Commitment:
I have the material ready and I am looking for collaborators, not just session players. I want to start locally in Borehamwood with the goal of tightening the set, gigging, and recording.
* Pay: Collaborative original project (unpaid currently).
* Vibe: Professional, organized, and focused on creating a "world-class" sound.
P.S. While I currently front the tracks, I’m totally open to a co-lead or a dedicated powerhouse vocalist if the chemistry is right. The song comes first.
