On the look out for musicians (vocals and guitarists, but open to other instruments) that are interested in playing in a serious originals group, firmly rooted in darker guitar music but with the mind to push the genre into new and different territory, writing collaboratively as one unit where everyone contributes equally. Want to create and play music that is atmospheric, cinematic, moody, but not afraid of hooks or experimentation.
The band so far is myself on bass, a drummer, and guitarist located in Birmingham/the West Midlands. We are looking to write and practice regularly. Already have many contacts locally for gigs after playing in Brum for a few years, and about 6 songs worth of drums and bass which we are currently working through with our guitar player.
After people that are creatively minded, committed, and will invest themselves into this project as much as we are willing to. This is more important than musical ability. Aged 24-30 but open to the right people.
Influences include (but aren't limited to) the following, but with a mind for the sound to grow creatively from this start point: Interpol, Marching Church, Ice Age, David Bowie (Blackstar as a prime example of where we would want to go creatively), Bauhaus, The Sound, The Chameleons, Echo and The Bunnymen, The National, Explosions in The Sky, Radiohead, TV On The Radio, Bonobo, This Will Destroy You, Baxter Duty, Preoccupations, Iggy Pop, and others.
We're quite heavily influenced by many genres and artists that aren't above and would be keen to bring those elements in to embellish and experiment.
