I’m considering starting a band in New York City. I play both guitar and drums, although I’m currently working on expanding my skills with the guitar. My goal is to create a band where members can grow musically together, learning and improving as a group. At 19, I’m excited about the possibility of collaborating with others who share a passion for music and a desire to develop our talents collectively.
Hey
My boyfriend who is from Los Angeles is looking to join a band. He can play rhythm, bass, acoustic, and lead guitar. He’s a huge fan of Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, and Cream. Message me and I will send you his recordings.
Hi all. Been playing guitar about 14 years (24) and i already have a drummer. We’re very interested in music such as Tool, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Metallica, etc. Already have written some melodies and have a place to work in Moss Point but our gigs are in mobile. Thanks.
Title explains most of it. Looking for a drummer that is comfortable playing 200+bpm for a mostly pop punk sound (Scott Raynor style). Group currently consists of myself on guitar+vox and a bass player. Practice space in my basement.

Hiii my name is Kyrie Amber. I’ve posted on here a few times before, so let me explain My birthday was yesterday. I’ve been living in Los Angeles basically since 2022 but I left for like 9 months and came back in 2023. I’m a singer. I also rap but the diddy shit has got me to a point where I don’t really wanna associate myself as a rapper. Rock music saved my life… it really did… I take this music so seriously. I want to to this for real… I mean REALLY do this. Balls to the wall all the way thoroughly and the right way. But I’m on a mission to climb up to outer space with this music shit and I’m not gonna stop until I make it… So here’s the thing… I need a band, because we all know even a solo has a “band” nobody can do this alone. But I need a band band, but here’s the catch I don’t have a place, as of right now I’m living in a car & not even my car… but that’s the only catch. I need a band and a place to rehearse. I wanna build this band together from the floor up. I want people who take the time and music seriously, no funny business. I’d take a frontman (or front woman rather) position. I do play a little guitar but I just picked up in February so that’s a work in progress. I have the kind of direction I have in mind that my influences will kind of give you an idea on
Deftones, Linkin Park, Korn, Breaking Benjamin, tool, foo fighters, chevelle, Amira Elfeky (she’s newer), soundgarden, Staind, ect ect you get the idea. Here’s a link to my song I released on Spotify this past Friday so you have an idea of how i sound Dm me if interested

Vocalist/guitarist looking for some other musicians to jam with, something to do outside work. Rusty although been in a bunch of bands, played Sofar Sounds and the O2 for BBC Introducing. Send me a message and we'll talk influences.
As the title says, guitarist looking to start a band. Background on me: 25, trans woman, gigging experience, production experience, can play bass/drums if needed but much better at guitar (playing guitar for close to 10 years instead of 3ish for the others).
Looking to start a serious project (full time would be the ideal end goal but it's a long road to get there). Currently looking for drums/bass before another guitarist (and vocals only if you are insane cause I have ideas for my tracks, just newer in my transition so voice is a work in progress rn). Just want to make heavier music with good riffs/dissonance, positive undertones, and not avoiding melody (ex Better Lovers/Sum 41). I have music written but am open to collaborating on new music with new musicians/possibly expanding my ideas into more if you have ideas. Respect/communcation is super important to the creative process to me.
Here's a demo for one of my recent songs I wrote and other demos of mine on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/loviscky15/skin-and-bones-demo
Favorite bands: Better Lovers, Loathe, Sum 41, Cane Hill, Superheaven, Dying Wish, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Title Fight, Soul Blind, Trivium, Knocked Loose, Static Dress, Every Time I Die, (can go on forever lol)

Hello! My name is JC, I’m 24, and I’m looking for band members! I’m big into elder emo/pop punk/metalcore stuff and I’m comfortable guitar, bass and vocals (but prefer guitar). I’m looking for people around my age who are around the Indiana/Illinois area. I travel between the West Lafayette and the Chicago area all the time so anywhere between Indy to Chicago to Champaign to whatever is good with me! I can’t host unfortunately. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested in playing together!
We are a newly formed band looking for a seasoned drummer and second guitarist. We are a groove metal band with metalcore and deathcore influences made up of guys in their late 30's. Myself, the vocalist, and the main guitarist have already started creating songs and have lyrics that just need matching to our current groove's/songs. Please reach out to me here if you are interested so we can get together sometime to jam and see if we mesh. We have a temporary rehearsal space with a drum kit available and are ready to record. So shoot me a message and let's get to rockin'.

Hey there!! We’re a group of musicians trying to get into the scene (25F Vocalist, 28F Guitarist, and 26M Bassist) based in Northside Houston, TX. We’re looking to complete our lineup with a drummer and lead guitarist.
We’d love for you to be around our age-ish! We want to do some jamming, experiment with different sounds, and do some covers. Some of the bands we like: Deftones, Radiohead, Haken, Bring Me the Horizon (BTMH), Pierce the Veil (PTV), Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, The Strokes, Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF), and The Clash. You've gotta have a passion for creating music and trying new things.
If this sounds like your vibe, drop me a DM or comment below! :D
We're a 5 piece (including you) band looking for a very talented drummer. We play fast, energetic, busy music and need some one who can keep up with playing advanced parts. We have quite a few songs and are always writing more.
We are based in Woodstock and get together nearly every Sunday.
I am a 16 year old singer around the Edinburgh area that is in a band that currently has a drummer and keyboardist alongside me and we have multiple songs written. We would like to hopefully start gigging and recording music.
If you are from a nearby area please let me know
Hope to hear from you soon!
I sing and am a guitar playing beginner.
I’ve been reaching out to other girls that have posted here since September 2024 and they always get back to me days or weeks later and then come back to me saying “sorry for being MIA” or “here’s my number text me instead” or “I’ve been too busy” and then I have to accommodate to their life by waiting on the sidelines and putting something I REALLY want to do on hold. Well, why post about looking for a band, if you’re too busy to get it done and then have people waiting by and putting their goals on pause because of you? Are girls just not serious enough, and should I start a band with guys or are they the same? Should I just be a solo artist?
Anyway, before I completely write off the idea of being in a band, I wanted to give it another chance. Please reach out if you’re seeking the same as me, living in the same city is helpful too but perhaps it could work? Lmk! Have a good day.
heyyy im (20f) looking to start a band, i'm really into riot grrrl, grunge and shoegaze as well as some newer indie stuff. i play guitar, sing a bit and love songwriting, would be sick to find some people that are interested in the same stuff. some of my favourite bands/artists are bikini kill, le tigre, bratmobile, slowdive, the smashing pumpkins, wolf alice, amyl and the sniffers, the cure, paramore, boygenius, blondie, patti smith...i could go on forever lmao

Hi everyone I'm a vocalist that can do both harsh vocals (screams and sounding like a demon) and cleans I'm trying to find a band of some sort so I can use my vocals more whether that means creating one or me joining one if interested dm me here and here's my SoundCloud so you can hear what I can do: SoundCloud.com/darkenedreignofficial
20F former percussionist/songwriter looking for other people in the CLE area to jam with or talk about possibly starting a collective. Preferably younger side, but willing to talk to anybody and everybody! No genre in mind, just looking to chat.
Hi, I'm looking to form a goth/deathrock/ethereal wave band.
Looking for drummer, guitarist and co-vocalist, all who I want to contribute with songwriting/composing.
Looking to make music that takes cues from early Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, Slowdive, and 45 Grave, Lycia, Mephisto Walz to name some better-known bands.
Looking for competent musicians who are familiar with gothic rock and the scene, you don't have to be great or anything (I am a self-taught intermediate player, skill-wise) but I'd prefer you having previous experience with being in bands and gigging (I have never been in a band or gigged before outside of a DIY house show, so I lack the experience and need direction and help).
I will handle bass guitar and lyrics, some of the vocals, and mixing but I really want the songwriting/composition to be a collaborative effort.
For lyrical themes I want to write very personal lyrics/themes from my own life, which is why I want to take the role of lyricist and primary vocalist. However, I also want to write non-personal lyrics too about various topics. In some songs, I would like them to be almost comedic maybe.
