Hi there! I’m part of a band called Voytek, we’re based around the Ipswich area and we’re currently looking for a vocalist! I’ve included links to our material as well as a live playthrough of our set to the bottom of this post, but I’d say we fit somewhere between rock and metal, with our style being influenced by the prog & groove sub-genres – we enjoy creating music with groove, dynamics and progression.
We’re made up of four members, Michael (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Curtis (Guitar), Gareth (Bass) and Dillon (Drums), and have been playing together for the last few years – we’re now looking for a vocalist that can bring some powerful clean vocals and creative input to the table, completing our line up! In terms of age, we are 27-31.
Our goals for the band are to continue writing material, record it and play it live – we’re committed to the band.
Our influences come from a mixture of groove and progressive rock/metal bands: Tool, Karnivool, Mastodon, Incubus, Gojira, Rage Against The Machine, Primus, Mars Volta, Fair to Midland, Radiohead, Black Peaks, the list goes on!
As an example of the type of vocals we are looking for, here are a few performances we really like, but if you’re a bit different and dig our material we’d love to hear what you can do for us!

Below are the links to our material – despite these all being instrumental at the moment, we do have lyric ideas in various states for the tracks, but we’re definitely looking for someone who can contribute to our creative process!

If you like the sound of our stuff and would like to give it a go, feel free to send us a message!
Cheers, Voytek
