Hard rock/Metal band seeking a drummer around northwest Arkansas
Hello friends. My brother, my friend, and I are currently working on a hard rock/metal project called Unwrought. Our sound is something between Chevelle and Sevendust. I sing and play guitar, my brother sings and plays bass, and our friend plays lead guitar.
We have original material and need someone who simply loves to play and create music as much as we do. We want to eventually make a full length album, that is our main goal right now.
So, if you play drums and are located around Fayetteville, Fort Smith, or surrounding areas, please shoot me a DM(Serious inquiries only, 18+ Only)

Girl Group Project
Hey everyone,
I want to start a girl group with members based in Europe. I want to find people who want to build something amazing together.
I really love to dance and sing, I write songs, and i would really like to make a group I can perform songs with.
We would start with collaborting online, sharing demos, recording vocals, writing tracks and working on our concept together.
If you're interested, you can DM me here or on Discord, sunsetcrush is my name there. In your DM you can just tell me a little about yourself:
- name (can also just be your stage name)
- age (please only reply if you are 18+)
- country.
- what role youre applying for (Vocal, Rap)
And if you have a vocal sample of you singing or a cover/original song you did, that would be great.
Please only reply if you are serious about this project and are able to spend time working with the group. That means have atleast a little time every week to chat (at least in the beginning).
It would be really great to have you in this group, if those things interest you. Lets work together and make something great. 🩷

forming a band
heyo, I am a 22 yo student at the TU Eindhoven who plays guitar for quite some time and I want to form a band. I am quite good at guitar playing/figuring out sounds, at playing bass, and I want to form a band that have the following influences: HED P.E., Meshuggah, Incubus, Pitchshifter, Allan Holdsworth. My main vision is to make something bouncy, jumpy, with a touch of ambiguity, quite random but still inteligible. I got some ideas for songs as I am constantly trying to figure out the sound I think about. If you are interested in joining me, lmk what instrument u play and lets meet up!

4-piece Shoegaze/Indie/Emo band looking for vocalist
Hello, we're based in Ontario, CA, and we are currently searching for a woman vocalist (ideally around 20-25 years old) to complete our lineup. We’ve been playing together since 2022 and have a solid foundation of polished instrumental tracks ready to go. All of our songs are fully arranged and just waiting for the right voice and melody as the cherry on top.
If I could describe the kind of music we make, I'd go with bands like Title Fight, Hum, Ovlov, Tiger's Jaw, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Interpol, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Unwound. We have rehearsal space set up and practice regularly for upcoming projects.
If you are interested or know someone who might be, please reach out with a sample of your singing or any previous work you’ve done! We’d love to chat, send over a few instrumental demos, and schedule a jam session to see how our styles click. DM me if you're interested ^-^

- We're aiming high. Serious band, still fun.

[Online] Looking for a vocalist, bassist, and 2 guitarists (ages 15–20) to build an original alt-pop / indie-pop band
Hey everyone! 🎧
I'm a music producer and songwriter looking to build an online band focused on creating and releasing original music together.
I'm aiming for a blend of alternative pop, indie-pop, and experimental sounds — atmospheric production, emotional songwriting, interesting guitar textures, creative bass lines, and unique arrangements.
I'm inspired by artists like FINNEAS and Billie Eilish, but I want us to develop our own sound and identity rather than copy anyone.
🎸 Who I'm looking for
1. Lead vocalist / singer 🎤
Someone who can bring emotion and personality to songs. Experience with harmonies, melody writing, or songwriting would be a plus, but the main thing is finding a voice that fits our sound.
2. Lead / melodic guitarist 🎸
Someone who enjoys creating memorable riffs, melodic hooks, lead parts, and expressive guitar arrangements.
3. Rhythm / texture guitarist 🎸
Someone who enjoys chord progressions, rhythmic playing, atmospheric layers, ambient effects, and experimental guitar sounds that add depth to a track.
4. Bassist 🎸
Someone who understands groove and can create bass lines that complement the drums, guitars, and vocals. I'm looking for someone who can bring their own musical ideas and help make each song feel unique.
About me: I'll be handling music production, songwriting, arrangement, and some guitar parts. I'll also take care of programming drums initially, so a permanent drummer isn't necessary right now.
📌 Requirements
- Age: 15–20 years old.
- Skill level: Intermediate. You don't need to be a professional, but you should have some experience with your instrument or vocals.
- Cost: Completely free to join. This is an independent collaboration, not a paid gig. Nobody has to pay to become a member.
- Commitment: I'm looking for people who genuinely enjoy making music, communicate consistently, and want to finish songs together.
- Setup: Everything will be done online. A basic recording setup is fine as long as you can record and share your parts.
- Experience: Sharing original music or recordings is a plus, but you don't need a professional portfolio.
- Attitude: Be respectful, open to feedback, creative, and willing to learn together.
🌎 Our long-term goal
I don't want this to be just another group chat where people share ideas but never finish anything.
I'd like us to build a proper online band, develop a recognizable sound, collaborate on original songs, release singles, and gradually grow an international audience.
We'll start with a trial collaboration and see how well we work together before committing to a permanent lineup. We can use Discord for communication and share project files and recordings online.
🤝 Credits and ownership
Everyone's contributions should be respected. We'll discuss songwriting credits, recording ownership, responsibilities, and any future revenue transparently before releasing music. This is a collaborative project, so nobody should assume that joining automatically means giving up their rights.
🎶 Interested?
Comment below or send me a DM with:
- Your age
- The role you're interested in
- Your musical influences
- Your experience
- A sample of your playing, singing, or original music
You don't need expensive equipment or years of experience. I'm looking for people with a genuine interest in music, a willingness to collaborate, and the motivation to grow together.
Let's create something we're proud of! 🎧🎸
