What even 😂

I’ve always been a fan of DGD, Emarosa, Wolf & Bear, and other various PHC/Swancore bands; but I have recently stumbled upon a ton of other bands that I thoroughly enjoy. Needless to say, November was that month I guess.

Anyone wanna make a band?

I’m just a dude in Allen, TX who just wants to make good music, spread positivity and have a nice time with friends haha. I’m a vocalist, I’ve been practicing since I was a kid & am still striving to get better, and I’ve been practicing guitar/bass on and off for the past couple years but not as good as my voice(not that I’m on the level of top stars, but). My key inspirations are the rise of Swancore/Post Hardcore, but obviously I’m not opposed to branching away from that, extremely open to hearing out ideas. I’ve never personally been in a band, but my brother is in a local DFW experimental Metalcore band, so I know bits and pieces about what goes on & I’ve sat in recording studios to watch the recording process. I would prefer an in-person project so it would simply be easier to communicate, get together to practice/record/play shows, but I believe if we work together a long distance project could also work.

I realize that if I don’t try now, I’m going to spend the rest of my life filled with regret & what ifs, and I’ll pass on that! I’m very determined to develop & create an amazing sound, make friends along the way and make countless people’s nights by giving them endless entertainment
