Howdy,
Guitarist looking to create a heavy rock band. Loads of influences across many genres including:
stoner metal, doom, hard rock, psychedelic, hardcore, ambient and post rock.
I'm after a bass player, drummer and vocalist - though other funky instruments are welcome to apply too! I don't give a rat's ass how old you are, what your experience playing live is, what gender you identify as, or anything like that.
Here are the must haves though:
1.) The drummer needs to be strong. I see these songs being led by drums so that's a must. You don't have to be the most flashy or technical but you do need to be able to be the driving force behind the band.
2.) Ideally I'm after a female vocal because I think it cuts through nicely with the sort of music I have in mind. This is by no means set in stone so men, or those who identify any other way, please still get in touch. You need to be comfortable moving around in your register and ideally be comfortable writing lyrics (though I can help with that).
3.) The bass player will need to be confident locking in with drums and also the guitar. I'm a very rhythmic player so often sit in the pocket with the bass. I don't care if you play with fingers or pick, or whether you favour root notes over harmonies. I tend to play in lower tunings (Csharp standard or even B) so ideally you'll have some experience there too.
My hope is that everyone will feel comfortable and happy to contribute to songwriting. I'm somewhat of a prolific riff writer, but I do need help taking the ideas further.
Obviously Covid is scuppering things at the moment but I'm happy to do digital stuff in the meantime if that's an option.
Anyway, if this sounds up your street at all, hit me up!
