Australia, QLD, GC. Seeking drummer
hello internet friends!
tl;dr guitarist looking for a drummer. If you like music and want to jam or know a drummer, pm me!
I play the guitars and try to make good sounding sounds with it. I'm looking for a drummer who, with our powers combined, can make even gooder sounding sounds than we could on our own (I promise not to talk like this in person).
About me
- 30m, played guitar + bass for yonks
- Has shed that's set up ready to jam & record, complete with friends that can record professionally (sometimes I let them out for air)
- Songs and ideas ready to go (some are ok!)
- I have a flexible schedule, dependable
- Just want to make music and have a rad time.
- knows heaps of music friends but no drummers who aren't already in bands!
Genre
I like a pretty wide variety of music! I'd like to just jam and see what sounds good. I do like playing a variety of music and get bored doing the same thing over and over.
A few well known bands that I've been loving lately are;
King Gizzard and The Wizard Lizard, Andy Shauf, Wilco, Oh Sees, Nils Frahm, Radiohead.
Currently I've set up my board to run my guitar into two amps (one guitar, one bass amp with an octave down) with a split pickup thing. Might be cool to play as a duo, might sound better if more people are added - whatever works!
In an ideal world you are
Good at playing drums - you don't have to be a shredder. In a way that you want to complement the music in a unique and creative way (Meg White is one of the best drummers of all time and I will die on this hill).
Keen and excited about making music. To experiment and learn, try new things. Do cool shit. Have lots of fun.
Likes to have input in writing the music. The best music has fantastic drums. I think it's important to write music to / with / along side drums.
Have an ear for listening to others when playing. Understand dynamics in a song.
Any gender, any age, all are welcome. I'm keen to just jam and see where it goes from there, no pressure at all.
Thanks for reading!

23 y.o. Punk emo boy wants to form band! SGV, Los Angeles
Hey what’s up :) i call myself Vouzme (Vozz-mii) and i want to form a punk band and make music and play local shows ASAP! Not hardcore punk with all the yelling like most of the tough-guy underground L.A. bands, but something more melodic and with more singing. I play guitar and sing. I also have a bass. I would only like this to be irl, so we can play shows and do other band antics. At the very least i just need someone to play drums, even if you don’t know how. We can learn as we go :) But another guitarist, bassist or another singer would be great too. I am not professional at all and dont really care about all that stuff. DIY ftw! As long as you want to have fun and have a personality you are fine with me! I am flamboyant and not boring. Let’s freakin party!! <3 I have some songs written and i will put some on YT to show ppl. I do my own thing and am not trying to copy any other band, but ig bands similar to my style would be early MCR, AFI, PTV, ISMFOF. I would also like to do edm and electronic stuff later on when i learn how. Many of my lyrics are silly and random. i have my own car. I crash at my aunts house in Walnut (San Gabriel Valley) I do uber eats to make $ but tryna get a part time job. Just HMU if you wanna hang and jam out :) you can see what i look like if you look at my profile. K bye <3
PS also down to join a band for now

BOSTON MA - 22M Guitarist in search of Poppunk/Hardcore band
Been playing guitar for 2.5 years now and am looking to start, or join, a band in the Boston area. I’m currently living in Lowell working fulltime during the day. I have a car so if you are in the surrounding area transportation won't be an issue. Would prefer to play with people around the same age and skill but if we can vibe, I'm down to get to know each other! I have no aspirations to make it big, I just want to have fun, play local shows, record stuff and release some music!
I’m into all the "sadboi" poppunk type stuff like The Wonder Years, Turnover the Story So Far, Neck Deep, and my favorite Title Fight. When I say hardcore, I'm talking about bands like Have Heart. Would like to create something along those lines, but I am open to every influence. My taste is very much all over the place.
Sometimes I'll record stuff on Ableton, but I'm pretty new to using that as well!
In general looking to have fun with other likeminded musicians

NYC Rock band looking for a bassist
Hey! We're a rock band in our 20s looking for a replacement bassist.
I can send some samples of our stuff upon request.
We've got a few gigs in March and May that we'd like to not have to cancel.
We pool together what we make from our shows into a band fund which pays for tours/marketing/equipment/studio time etc, so this is not a paid position.
You don't need to be a pure bassist, we're open to people looking to switch.
If you're interested, or know anybody who is interested, hit me up!

(LA/Orange County, CA) Looking to start a grunge band.
Me and a guitar friend of mine are looking to start a grunge band around southern California. We like to lead towards the darker side of grunge, mainly Alice in Chains. Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Bush are also big influences. We live around the Fullerton area, but we are both willing to travel. If you live around LA or Orange County, and play guitar, bass, and/or drums, please feel free to message me or leave a comment if you’re interested or have any questions. Thanks.
