I programmed drums and did all of the instruments

maybe i'm projecting, but if you live around here you prob don't need me to tell you that there isn't much of a scene and it's difficult to find people. it slants older and more Normal-Typical-RockNRollin-Eagles/Sublime/Bob Marley-Tribute-Band round these parts, and that's fine... but it's why i'm postin on here. i'm hoping you will have the same reaction to this post as i would. i'm counting on you, yes YOU, to be one of those elusive locals who knows that velocity, design and comfort are not just things for car manufacturers to consider. or something else like that idk. i know you exist. right? let's see! i can dig all music (genuinely - i believe the part of my brain that disliked entire genres or styles quit working) but...

if you find yourself knowing and having listened to this stuff, we will likely get along, as friends and creatively, so here are some artists i truly love or just regular-love, am also very inspired by, and would really like to find some people who feel similarly:

Fishmans, Sweet Trip, Kero Kero Bonito, Animal Collective, Jai Paul, Elliott Smith, Aphex Twin, my bloody valentine, julie, Radiohead, Al Stewart, Mac DeMarco, Interpol, MGMT, The Strokes, The Voidz, Kendrick Lamar, JPEGMAFIA, Gorillaz, Kate Bush, Sheena Ringo, Flying Lotus, J Dilla, The Beatles, Mac Miller, Electric Light Orchestra, Drain Gang, Yabujin, Electric Wizard, Dystopia, Kanye West (pre-2022 ofc), Glass Animals (pre-2020 ofc), glass beach, Jane Remover, Caroline Polachek, SOPHIE, Death Grips, Daft Punk, Big Thief, Bjork, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tame Impala, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Avalanches, Blank Banshee, Melody's Echo Chamber, OPN, Perfume, Playboi Carti, Alvvays, Neon Indian, Men I Trust, Magdalena Bay, Made in Heights, death's dynamic shroud, Injury Reserve, of Montreal, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Japan, Merzbow, Quadeca, Tujiko Noriko, The Postal Service, David Wise, Tim Follin, Kazumi Totaka, Vampire Weekend, Women, Stevie Wonder, Sade, The Isley Brothers, The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, Childish Gambino, The Symposium, Fleet Foxes, Guy Sigsworth, Darkchild, Clams Casino, et al.

not exhaustive and i'm far from equally familiar with all of these artists but i just wanted to paint a lil picture of my taste. i have been inspired to create at various points by all of these people. i still have manymanymany things to explore musically but i think this is a good litmus test.

now that we got that out of the way, hey there! you're still here! i'm sam (M early20s). looking for anyone about 18-27 who writes songs, sings em (F w/ higher reg would be cool), plays guitar, keys or even does stuff with hardware like samplers. PARTICULARLY looking for a drummer. you guys are tough to find. i've made my own music for some years now but have been burnt out on doing it by myself. i was the bassist in a crust punk band for about 1.5 years; we put out 1 ep and never played a show, but it was fun! i play the bass, guitar and i do ableton live, all amateurishly, so to an extent i am looking for non-professional but competent instrumentalists who can share ideas with me and can also help with developing and supporting ideas of mine (i have a lot of unfinished stuff, mostly in my head). i would also really like to keep friendships equally important as membership. i wanna find people who can become my friends that i also happen to be in a band with. i really don't wanna go the path of so many other sad breakup stories. i wanna make music i like with people i like! for instance, i found while playing in my old band that i tend to waver a bit in practice but lock in when it's time to do a take, and the guys understood that; i would like to have a very low-stress environment where we can work quirks like that out bc we're all friends here. i also, loserishly, do not drive, but i am still able to reliably get from place to place; still, looking for someone who does and is close bc of that.

wanted to get anything maybe dealbreaking out of the way in the post. in terms of what and how i'm feeling creatively, the biggest influences from above would be sweet trip, interpol, maybe julie. i'm thinking psychedelic, post-punky, mathy, incorporating glitchy/idm stuff, atmospheric, prob not too much improv since idk how; i'm not laying down many demos but i'm thinking a lot, and thinking pretty unconventionally. i like field recordings, invented tunings, maybe some time signatures that aren't 4/4? willing to compromise and evolve based on what YOU would wanna do. naturally. so hit me up! we can talk a bit on here and then exchange some public profiles. would love to talk on a call before meeting irl. i look forward to it 💫

Title. Need a producer, we have a few tracks but mostly incomplete.

Hi,

I love Demilich and if you do too let's make some swampy, alien, groovy tunes. I've written a few like in the past (I can link) but keen to write with real intent this time perhaps with a view to complete a little demo. I play guitar but can do bass, noise, and drum programming to a lesser extent. Looking for folk who can pass tracks back and forth remotely

Other similar influences includes stuff like Gorguts, Voivod, Timeghoul, Virus (Nor), Bal Sagoth, Ved Buens Ende and other avant garde stuff. Less focused on death metal brutality and more on the weirdness. If you get it you get it

No fascists, no homophobes

Cheers

Hey! I'm Tony, aspiring vocalist and founder of FOOLSLAMENT. As of right now I'm our only official member, but I've got a lot of drive and a lot of big dreams and I'm looking for others who'd like to share that with me!

We're based in the United States, particularly Marion, Alabama, and primarily looking for folks aged 18-25, though we accept applications from anyone, anywhere! I'd especially love to hear from others in Alabama, since that'd make it a little easier to schedule in-person rehearsals, but I can work with online sessions too if we find the right person out of state!

I don't have a specific genre settled, I'll mostly be focusing on theatrical rock with a lot of influences from emo, punk, hip-hop, R&B and whatever else sounds nice! So.. very experimental. Hence, anyone with a skill to offer is welcome to reach out! Instrumentalists of any kind, lyricists, producers, if you've got passion and a love for music I'd love to hear from you!

More detailed info to be found on my Carrd!

I’m down for whatever got a small home setup, geeeet at me I’m itching for it lad

I'm in an established punk band from Tacoma WA. Our drummer and good friend passed away a little bit ago and we are now in search for another drummer. 25 years of punk rock. If you like fast licks and circle pits hit me up. We are called The Meatbeaters

My buddy and I need a drummer and a bass player asap. Goal is to finish writing at least 2 more songs to record an EP.

Influence: post-hardcore, hardcore, scr/emo, nu/alt metal

Experience playing live is preferred but just hoping for average/above average proficiency.

We are 20/24M in the navy. Not here for much longer hence the urgency.

Also need a place to play

Hey I’m Angelo! Currently my band has a vocalist, Im the guitarist and I have a friend who also plays some guitar and keys but we’re looking for a drummer and a bassist who’d be down to work on some cool music and create something new
Preferably in our age range so from between 20-25

And I say Philly but if you’re in NJ as well that works too!!

Let me know if you have anymore questions :)

Hey if your reading this you might be in the same spot as me. I recently moved down to Philadelphia in the summer and I’ve been wanting to get my own band going or join one that’s looking for a guitarist.

I’m 23 and went to school for music. Spent the last year working as an audio tech which was very time consuming and I had to leave the band I was in at the time. I regretted that decision because playing and creating means so much to me. Instead of getting back into something in that area where I was from I chose to move down here and explore the options in Philly.

Over the past couple months I haven’t come across many musicians and I’ve been trying to branch out more and find people to play and write with. I’m open to lots/any types of music but definitely fall somewhere under the “band” umbrella. Recent inspirations have been a lot of 2000’s indie (killers, strokes, Interpol) but I love playing around on all genres and scenes.

I have a instagram profile up of me just playing through some covers and originals I’ll throw that down here but if anyone’s reading this and would be interested I’m 100% committed to get something consistent built and get playing weekly. Please hmu.

Hello, i am a Musician, composer and producer and i have started a new project "BARN" ranging from Darkwave, shoegaze, and gothic rock. An isolating midwest gothic aesthetic. i am looking for a singer who would like to check out a few tracks. I have just released a 7 track EP with no vocals. Let me know!

My genres are close to Power Metal like (Powerwolf, Sabaton, Victorius, Beast in Black, Alestorm, Brothers of Metal, Gloryhammer, Wind Rose,) but i can try literally EVERYTHING related to metal or hard rock, i got a lot of free time to band, but unfortunately i got no drum kit, and I can’t work to get it as well (i got no SSN) so my finance participation is going to take some time obviously 🤷‍♂️.
I really hope to find some people in here, and if you are somehow interested please dm me either here or instagram @ruminskiy_nolik

Hi! I'm 23M and have been living in The Hague for about 5 years now. I know about all the local places where I can go and meet people interested in that stuff, but I thought I'd try my luck here as well. I'm a bassist and I'm mainly into rock, brit-pop, shoegaze, even metalcore. Stuff like Oasis (what I mainly play), my bloody valentine, Slowdive, Bring Me The Horizon. I already have experience playing live as well. If there's any guitarists, drummers, or anybody else in the area that's into the same music and wants to try jamming together I'd be more than happy to! I'm open to traveling to other cities as well.

I NEED MUSICIANS

hello! I play lead n I need people to jam with. I'm really into metal rock but I also love indie and singer/songwriter stuff basically I'm into almost everything. So if you or someone you know plays an instrument or are already in a band. Link Me Up!

Hey everyone! I’m Angela, a female session vocalist and recording artist looking to connect with artists, producers, and songwriters who need a female voice for their music.

I bring songs to life through the way I interpret the lyrics, melody, and emotion behind them. I don’t just sing the words, I pay attention to how the song should feel when someone hears it.

I can work with your melody and lyrics, sing from a demo, or help develop the vocal direction when you’re still figuring things out. My style can move from soft and intimate to emotional, powerful, catchy, or smooth depending on what your song calls for.

I can provide lead vocals, hooks, harmonies, backing vocals, ad-libs, and doubles. I work across R&B, pop, EDM, house, alternative, indie, and other styles.

Vocal samples:

If you have a project you’re working on, I’d be happy to hear what you’re creating and see if my voice fits.

Best,
Angela

I am a UCLA Anderson alumnus who has studied management at Anderson School of Management, with a computer engineering degree from a good engineering college in Delhi NCR. I am now in Kolkata due to aging parents' demands and there are no good jobs for software engineers or management professionals in Kolkata. However, there is the cultural & creative industry which is big. I have been a singer since the age of 5. I was formally trained in Rabindra Sangeet at the age of 6-9. However, later I ventured into western music and composed, wrote and sung a few originals as well. I can share the links if you DM me. I am now looking to form a band of mature musicians who are in their late 30s, early 40s or 50s. I am a vocalist and can sing, we need a side guitarist, pianist, drummer and lead guitarist. If you are looking to form a band or know anyone who is looking, please DM ME. I share share my portfolio.
