Looking to start post hardcore group online

As title states. I mostly do vocals and programming. I’d love to get with a guitarist/bassist and a drummer, and put out an EP this year.

My biggest vocal influences are under oath and bring me the horizon. I have samples. Hit me up if you’re interested.

Bassist/guitarist in London (don’t mind travelling) looking to join/make a band.

Hey, my name is Mowgli. I'm 16, currently living in SE London and I’m looking to make some music. I’ve been playing bass for 4 years and guitar for 3 years and I've sang for most my life. Genre-wise I play: Hard Rock, Indie Rock, Stoner Rock, Nu-Metal, Jazz, RnB, Pop and Midwest Emo. I am a fairly experienced live musician so going on the stage is something I would like to keep pursuing as well as recording original songs. I have one very rough demo of a full song and a few riff ideas if you would like to hear. My influences: Royal Blood, QOTSA, Nirvana, Deftones, The Strokes, Fontaines DC, Billie Ellish, RY X and Radiohead. I’m willing to travel if you have a rehearsal space (as long as it is in London). Shoot me a DM if this interests you. Have a wonderful day!

Looking for band to join in the AZ area

I play mainly keys, but I can also play guitar and bass if needed. I can also produce and have been doing so for 9 years now. My music taste includes a lot of alt rock, electronic, and pop music, but I can play other genres if needed.

Central LA Metal Guitarist & Vocalist

Hi everyone! I'm a 23y/o vocalist and guitarist looking to either make or join a metal band in cenral LA! I've been playing guitar for 8 years and have 10+ years in vocal training, plus I taught myself how to death metal scream and I've gotten pretty good at it while driving in LA traffic lol. I'd be down to just be a vocalist or just be a guitarist but both would be really nice! My main music inspirations are SOAD, Avenged Sevenfold, Rage, and Evanescence. If anyone in the area has a band with any openings for someone w my skillset or would like to start a band pls pm me! :)

Longshot but looking for vocalist in RI/MA area for emo/shoegaze/indie band

Hello, if you're here you probably already read the title. I'm currently in a band just short a vocalist. We have a handful of tracks that are full formed and ready for lyrics. Unfortunately, it has been very hard to find anyone who is interested through any other facet of search. We're all in our late 20s except the drummer, he is 19. Additionally, I have a side project i've been working on solo I would also be interested in finding a vocalist for. Let's connect and make some cool music

NW London, UK - starting alt rock band - looking for bassist in their 20s

Hi, I'm looking to start a band as soon as possible, that I hope will turn out to be a long-term one. The band would be based in Brent.

I'm in my early 20s and I'm looking for a pick using bassist of a similar age to join up with me and form the band.

My main influences are the Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age, while I'm also influenced to a somewhat lesser degree by artists such as Black Flag, the Buzzcocks, Mark Lanegan, the Pixies, Soundgarden, and Stereophonics among quite a few others.

I've linked some songs below that'll hopefully interest you. Let me know if you're interested, and I can answer any questions you may have. Thanks

I currently live in Watford, but am always in Brent and plan to move back in the coming months, having grown up there.

Please have a listen to the songs on the demo (linked at the bottom) and hopefully you'll be interested. I have more demos also if you want to hear them.

Let me know either here or on instagram if you're interested, and I can answer any questions you may have. Thanks
