OnlineBands is a place for musicians to come together and form that project that they've always imagined. It can be difficult to find local musicians that share the same mindset or ideas, but with the internet, anything is possible! New means of sharing/recording can allow people from different countries to make wonderful music together.

This subreddit is designed for those who are trying to start or add to an existing band, or long-term music project that is designed to be online-only. Please do not submit requests for help with single songs. There is already a subreddit designed for that purpose (MusicInTheMaking).

If you are a musician looking to post your abilities, please feel free to signify that by starting your post title with [Musician], [Songwriter] or both. You can be more specific in the rest of your title, or within your post.

If you have an idea for a project, or you already have an existing project with several members, start your post title with [Project] or [Band].

If you have submitted a post and you're having trouble getting a response, feel free to post again (even with the same exact post if you like) but lets try to refrain from re-posting within a 2 week period.

When viewing a post, keep in mind that just because there is a reply or two does not mean that the matter is closed and that everyone has found what they are looking for. If you feel it might be relevant, reply! You never know how long it might take for someone to find what they're looking for.

Best software for compiling online band performance?

Hi, I volunteered to compile an online arrangement of Never Ending Story (from Stranger Things) for my school. Basically, everyone is sending in their video recordings of themselves playing their part with headphones to the online recording. There are all different types video files, and what I want to do is create a compilation of the audios and have everyone’s videos on the screen split up. (There are about 200 people and recordings). I was wondering what the best software to do this would be.

Looking

I’m looking for people to join my band Razors for Eyes, I’m the only person in it and I’m the vocalist. I’m thinking of it basically being pop punk with deathcore and hardcore punk elements. So basically from All Time Low to Suicide Silence in one song.

[Math rock] Looking to collaborate on songwriting and recording, multi-instrumentalist

I apparently posted here before, but I guess it's worth another shot. Not sure what to call my own stuff but my influences are mostly math rock and heavy metal/prog rock so that's what I'm going for. I have some demos (cresher.bandcamp.com) so if this is not totally obnoxious to you then hit me up.

I can write and play lots of instruments, but I need some more direction I guess. Looking for someone to collaborate with, share ideas, finish each other's songs and add instrumentation. Ideally you are comfortable on several instruments as well, and we can contribute various parts to each other's work.

I have six or seven songs I have started just this year but don't quite know how to finish. Let me know if you can relate.

[Musician] Vocalist looking for (Math/Jazz-Fusion/Neo-Soul/Post-Hardcore/Indie/Experimental) or whatever

I'm already part of a few online projects but I'm always looking for more variety to expand my horizon.

I can do a lot of different techniques and styles, 'screaming' included but I don't want to do much of that due to the upkeep requirements.

Anyway here's my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-wang-7

I've only got a couple of songs released and they're pretty low-energy. Let me know if you want to hear some WIP stuff that's a little different.

Beginner vocalist looking for an opportunity.

Alright, so... I started last month. I can do basic False Chords; Low Gutterals, Mid-screams, and Fry screams. I'm still working on Highs. I can also sing semi-decently. Nothing extraordinarily mind-blowing.

But yeah, I'm looking to form, or join up with a drummer, guitarist(or two), bassist, possibly backing vocals aswell.

I'm only 16, and I live in Louisville, Kentucky. So yeah, not too many options locally.

I have one example of myself. It's a video on YouTube. I borrowed the instrumental(yes, I had permission), and my girlfriend wrote the lyrics(down below). Also I was using my phone. So ignore the stupid watermark, and "under-great" sound quality.

If you're interested Message me on here. Although the best way to reach me is Messaging me through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barney.roeder

Looking for Collabers on a Metal Project

I'm looking for some people to work with a Metal project I have written. All the guitars, bass, and drums have been recorded aside from some leads and solos. I have also written a concept to go along with the songs, with multiple characters throughout. My goal is to have different vocalists record for each of the characters.

Here's what I'm looking for:
Vocalists (Death Metal style vocals preferred, would be open to clean vocals if done well. Description of vocals to go with the character's persona)

  • Enlil (Male) - (Death Metal) Powerful, Raw
  • Enki (Male) - (Deathcore) Dark, Gut Wrenching
  • Lilith (Female) - (Black Metal/Deathcore) Shrill, Evil

Guitar Solos/Leads (10/19) tracks, I can send you timestamps and a list of the tracks to where I was thinking these parts would occur.

Orchestral and String Arrangements
I'd love to get some Septicflesh type arrangements to go along with every song.

The project is going to be two discs, see below for the demos: https://soundcloud.com/josiah_snader_music/sets/disc-1 https://soundcloud.com/josiah_snader_music/sets/disc-2

If this sounds like something you'd like to get involved in shoot me a PM.

Thanks!

Vocalist looking to collaborate in a metalcore band

I'm looking to collaborate on some original songs. I'm into bands like Architects, Counterparts, BMTH, etc. Vocal style is similar to Architects and There is a Hell era BMTH. I also can play guitar to a certain degree so I can help with that.

Here's a vocal cover of Naysayer-Architects I've done.

(Columbus, Ohio, Orlando, Florida, Internet)Internet Based Metalcore/Deathcore Band Searching for (Guitarists, Bass)

We are a Metalcore/Deathcore band that, for now, work over the internet due to current positions of the members but, plan to release an EP within 3 to 6 months and tour behind it in late 2017. We have a vocalist, a keyboard player, and a drummer and are looking for guitarists and a bassists. We have had members who couldn't play well and/or couldn't record their parts for demos or covers, so we had to let them go. Our major influences are Asking Alexandria, Motionless in White, Bring Me The Horizon, A Day to Remember, Oceans Ate Alaska, Of Mice and Men, Chelsea Grin, and Memphis May Fire. We talk almost daily using Kik and Playstaion parties, so if you have any of those please PM me with your accounts and we can further discuss this.

Black metal project needs drummer or half-decent programmer. Any takers? [X-post /r/needaband]

Hey. I write black metal a la Darkthrone (seriously, it's some pretty dang mediocre Darkthrone worship). Have just about everything for half of a demo and some riffs for more, just need drums. Story of most of ours lives, I'm sure.

https://soundcloud.com/bolmeteus6/unnamed-black-metal-song-2

https://soundcloud.com/bolmeteus6/darkthrone-worshipv2

Here are a couple of sloppy (ie, not final take) demo tracks. If I can find a drummer I'll make some slightly less sloppy versions we can get a demo up, maybe get a tape out. Anyone interested?

What the title says. I can play guitar too but rather do vocals because I don't have equipment to record with a guitar. I like bands like Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, Black Tongue, Beartooth, Slipknot and BMTH (old and new stuff)

  • The Slaughter - Deathcore
  • Equinox - Metalcore

Metalcore/Post-Hardcore/Melodic-Hardcore

My roommate and I are really big into this scene, and we've always wanted to start a band. Tried to in high school but it didn't work out. He can sing/scream/play drums (extremely well). I can play guitar/bass/scream/mix. We really are just looking for other people to run ideas with. I'd be more than willing to do all the mixing/programing. I'm just looking for people to help me write songs.

Looking for Lyrics writer or another artist for muse sessions

I am a Live-looper with a setup similar to DubFX's. He's a personal hero of mine and really one of the biggest reasons I became interested in this type of performance. I have roughly 28 samples saved in a loopstation an looking to expand at least one into a full piece.

If any artists/songwriters out there want to give a listen and tell me what they get out of these samples and which ones are the best candidates I would greatly appreciate it!

Send me a message and we'll figure out a way to link up.
