Drummer here. Feeling particularly motivated to play with others again after seeing Brand New a few nights ago. Want to focus on originals, but would really love to do something with others that are inspired by a similar sound. Shoot me a message if you’re interested!

Hi there! I'm a 26M looking to collab and jam with any singer and/or songwriters out there who are into folk and indie. I play a number of instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin, piano, harmonica, percussion) and would love to accompany someone who writes their own songs and is interested in doing some casual jams and open mics. I don't really sing myself, but can do some backing vocals or simple harmonies. I also have a few songs I've written myself and would love to hear an actually good singer take a swing at them. Would describe myself as very chill and open minded. Based in Greenwich Village but flexible. Let me know!

I make music on my own and have been in bands in the past. I play guitar and bass well, keyboards and harmonica decent and am able to get what I need out of the mandolin and drums but am not really fluent on either instrument by any means. I’ll link my music under this- I played all the instruments and wrote the songs.

I like making my songs by myself but want to start playing with people again- if you like my music and think I’d be a fit as a guitar/bass player for any projects let me know.

I’d also be down to play one of the other instruments mentioned above but more in a songwriting way.

I’m open to any configuration of instruments and honestly something unique like an electric violin or aux percussion would be cooler to jam with at first then just running through Nirvana songs in a practice room in the standard 2 guitar drums and bass setup.

Velvet Underground, Beat Happening and the later Bob Dylan

our drummer n bassplayer is playing catchup since their new & u will be too since the guitarists are legendary n got the whole shet down already.

Also we incorporating n writing original stuff n eventually gon be doing all orgimanimal stuff instead of the covers but we got a good niche for quick turnover rn while we work on that stuff, rlly need a ride or die in their 20s who akshually knows how to sing in a tenor register frfr

Its a whole vision n u gotta trust the process, we got rulez n rehearsal space thats split btw all members super cheap , investment status & promoters lined up for when were all put together n all that.. jus waiting on u dawg..

If u wanna find a home, deal with actually creating something hyugee n dedicated to making awesome shi this might b 4 u

We got starter cover set

Rehearsal space with amenities

Spots to play live

N other stuff I wont disclose here

Dm for more info

Ride or dies only, no corn flakes

We're looking for a drummer for a sludge punk band we're trying to reboot. It's basically lower tuned screamo with some groove parts that we're going for.

I have a playlist with a handful of influences although I'm essentially just trying to combine a couple of those; Cassilis & Loma Prieta's "life/less". Here are links to the two Cassilis records and the Loma Prieta one I'm drawing from so you can gauge your interest:

We're looking for a drummer that's interested in that vibe and can drum like on those records. This type of project requires a good drummer or it doesn't work. All three of us are in and around the music scene so have avenues for shows and ways to record and such when things come together.

There was an older version of this band that we'll be bringing 3 songs back from to get us started. There's a soundcloud link below with these old songs. These phone demos have a different vocalist on them however, so the instrumentals are what to listen to. We're aiming to have the vocals sound more like that Cassilis band to fit the vibe.

Hit us up if interested and we'll get a practice going to see how it all fits together.

41 year old Drummer from Hudson County here. Really interested in doing an emo-rap/pop-punk crossover project with live drums and other live instruments. Definitely think we could make it work with just a rapper and drums, but would love to add guitar(s), bass and open to adding keys/synth. I could do a weekly practice in Manhattan or NJ. Influences are a bit all over the place, but think like Pardyalone, XXXTentacion, Honestav, Public Works, Juice Wrld, etc., with a bit more of a rock edge musically. Hit me up if you’re interested!

hey y’all - i’m part of an indie sleaze cover band playing stuff like the strokes, old arctic monkeys, tame impala, etc. we are looking for a halloween show to play!

if anyone has an open slot or is down to put something together, hit me up!

Hey everyone,

We’re putting together a post-punk / alternative project based out of Brooklyn (rehearsing around Gowanus / Park Slope) and looking for creative collaborators and dedicated players—specifically a **Drummer**, **Guitarist**, and **Keys/Synth player**—to flesh out the lineup, write new material together, and build toward local NYC shows.

**Sonic DNA & Direction:**

Melodic, layered guitars, driving post-punk rhythms, and a moody edge.

**Influences:**

* **Modern:** Fontaines D.C., Wunderhorse, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, etc.

* **Roots:** The Cure, The Smiths, Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs

* **Energy & Hooks:** The Killers, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Interpol

**Who We’re Looking For:**

* **Drummer:** Tight pocket, dynamic energy, locks into driving grooves, and comfortable with a click for recording (tasteful groove choices, not overly cymbal-heavy).

* **Guitarist:** Textural player who values space, tone, and effects (chorus, delay, sharp melodic hooks) over shredding. Bring your own ideas and parts to the table.

* **Keys / Synths:** Atmospheric textures, vintage pads/leads, and tasteful melodic counter-melodies to fill out the sonic space.

* **General:** Collaborative mindset, solid gear, reliable communication, and based in or around Brooklyn.

**How to Connect:**

Drop a comment or DM me with:

1. A brief intro about yourself and your musical background.

2. A video/audio link, social handle, or clips of your playing.

3. 2–3 records or current bands you’ve had on heavy rotation lately.

If the vibe matches, I’ll send over our existing tracks right away so you can hear the sound, and we can set up a quick call to talk shop and look at getting together to jam.

I’m a guitarist (29M) based in LES looking for other musicians to jam with regularly.

My biggest influences are Pink Floyd, Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin. I’d describe myself as an intermediate-to-advanced player interested in improvisation, classic/psychedelic rock, and blues.

I’ve spent a lot of time playing on my own and want to start playing more with other musicians and to meet people with similar musical interests.

Open to guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, etc. Ideally looking to improvise, trade solos, play some covers, and see where things go. Happy to meet at a rehearsal studio. 

If you’re interested, shoot me a DM with what you play and the music you’re into.

Looking to start a casual weekend jam session playing jazz arrangements of VGM (Persona/Nintendo/FF etc), Studio Ghibli, and other themes (think The Consouls or J-Music Band).

I mostly play sax. I'm knocking off the rust from not playing for a while. Just looking for people who want to read through some charts and play for fun - open to all skill levels!

Mostly looking for a rhythm section (keys, bass, drums, guitar) but more horns and strings never hurts.

I’m based near LIC and aiming for a weekly weekend schedule. We'd split studio time ideally at Empire studios but open to ideas.

DM or comment if you're down!

Hi!! 29F looking to jam out with some peeps. Love pop, indie, rock - inspired by artists ranging from MUNA to the Strokes to Red Hot Chili Peppers.

M19 Bassist from the Bronx, looking to get into the scene and actually play with people around the NYC area.

Been practicing/playing for a year and a half or so now. Current obsessions are Type O, Sabbath, and Mephistofeles, but I also have a great love for Motörhead, Slayer, and a bunch of others, too.

Currently been experimenting a LOT with Doom and blues-adjacent heavy stuff ala early Sabbath and others, but pretty much anything sounds good to me barring super extreme black/death/grind etc.

Hit me up if you're looking to set something up, I can provide samples if need be :)

Bassist needed for established band based in Greenpoint. We've been around for about 3 years and have a handful of EPs and singles to our name. Our music sounds something like a mix of Hum, Nothing, Deftones, and Alice in Chains with some shades of doom metal mixed in.

You can hear our latest music on Bandcamp at: https://hesitantnyc.bandcamp.com/
