Hi All,
We're looking for a bassist! We’ve been playing together for several months recently filling the vocalist slot in the last few weeks. We have over ten songs finished musically, half of them finished with vocals. Key influences include; The Verve, Oasis, The Fall, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, The Beatles and our music is inspired by all of them. Links to a couple of tracks (just instrumental at the moment) below:

We are experienced band members with our own gear, Alex was formerly a bassist for Birmingham Metal Band, Oceans Ate Alaska and managed the band until he left for university commitments. The gigs he booked include: Mallory Knox, Lower Than Atlantis and Senses Fail to name a few. He also booked the music video for “Clocks” which has amassed 7 million views on YouTube and ran all social media channels.
Will's been in an out of a couple of bands over the years around Birmingham and has always been the primary song writer for guitar parts.
Tom has been drumming for original bands in Birmingham and a cover band in his time in London over the past 5 years.
Tom has been playing in a band through university and is currently still doing his degree in music production.
We will be leveraging this experience and existing network to talk firstly to promoters to get gigs but also labels and management when the time comes. We have formulated a plan for 2019 but of course, it is dependent on finding other members of the band.
We would like to be in a band with people a similar age to ourselves so ideally if you are between 18-28 that would preferable.
We are Birmingham based, rehearsing usually in Robannas studios (central Birmingham) so travel to there is essential.
Get in touch if it takes your fancy and we can have a chat about our ideas, either on here or at alex@raptormusic.co.uk.
Please send us in links to your social media accounts or any videos you have got of you playing bass.
Thanks,
Alex, Tom, Tom and Will
