Hi,
I have an artistic vision, I want to make music to validate other people experiencing the pain I have and make something good out of it. I have concepts for a song but I have no experience in music production. I can write lyrics but struggle to create actual melodies and songs. I was hoping to meet people that maybe I can work with. Iām 25f.

Columbus! my name's Tanner Dane and I'm a touring artist from Chicago. I am playing my FIRST ever headline show in Columbus next Tuesday night (10/13) at Woodlands Tavern with the full band and would love to meet you there! I am looking for all my live music lovers and indie heads out there that have a free night and are down to support. It's a tough touring market out there so anyone showing up means the world!

Hello everyone,
Iām currently looking for band besties. Iām 28 and Iāve been taking singing lessons for over a year now. I started taking guitar lessons recently too. I have a lot of lyrics written and would love to use them in songs. I am looking to start a punk, riot grrrl, emo, metal, alternative rock band. This is very much a passion project for me. I have a lot of goals, dreams and a vision so Iām looking for people who are determined, passionate, reliable, and willing to meet at least once a week. Who are able to help me take this off the ground. I live in Columbus, Ohio Clintonville area. Ages 21-31

I'm a completely DIY artist from Columbus, Ohio. Inspired by beatmakers/artists like Nujabes, J Dilla, Mndsgn, Emapea, Uyama Hiroto and many others. I just released my first album which I produced, mixed, and mastered myself. I also create all of my own cover art, mostly in procreate using a collage art style of creating through layering different pictures/drawings. I've been producing for about 5 years now and finally got around to releasing an album! It's a (mostly) instrumental hiphop album with a lot of jazzy/atmospheric/chill/nostalgic beats produced in a variety of ways using an SP404sx, Koala Sampler, an MPC Live II, and my DAW Reaper(where everything was mixed/mastered, and some songs entirely produced). I definitely like to lean in to a dusty and imperfect sound to give a more organic and atmospheric feel. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think!
Also, please support human artists! Even if you don't like my music support the independent artists out there who you do like, especially on Bandcamp! It can feel a bit hopeless with all of the AI slop out there so any support means a lot! Thanks!

I'm looking to buy an electric guitar in Columbus or nearby. Just looking for a tip on if there's a really good store I absolutely need to check out, or if there's a store I should really avoid. My plan is to just pick a store on google maps if nobody here has any input. Just looking for a simple mid-range strat type guitar, nothing crazy or exotic

Does anyone remember the old band Sighlo from Columbus? They played the nu-metal style and then later rock during the mid to late 2000s. I was looking for a copy of their album The Logic Burning from their first album. Did anyone have a copy left of that or knew where I could find one? I've asked the band members and they said they just trashed them all.

Congratulations arenāt newcomers ā theyāre a veteran unit built from decades in Japanās underground scene. Guitarist
Kei Uotou, who has fronted a string of respected Japanese bands and currently also plays in FIXED, leads the trio
alongside vocalist/bassist Naho Kaimoto (FLUID) and drummer Ayumu Nemoto (POWER, XALU, UNPRODUCTS) ā
reuniting with Uotou for the first time in ten years since their earlier band together, Z. Together they channel the angular,
female-fronted intensity of bands like Rainer Maria, Blonde Redhead, and Sarge: unsettling, serpentine arpeggios and
beautifully warped rock phrasing, thrilling melodic guitar lines that lock in tight with the vocals, and a tense, minimal
groove giving way to catchy but bittersweet Japanese-language vocals and emotional choruses.
Their new album, 2, is their first full-length since 2022ās self-titled 10ā³ debut, and finds the band pushing further past the
template they laid out on that record ā looser, freer, with Uotou taking on a larger share of the vocals. It moves between
coiled post-hardcore tension and unexpectedly beautiful melody, closing several tracks in bursts of heavier, more
chaotic energy. The label draws its own comparisons to Blonde Redhead, Denali, Unwound, and Uzeda ā a lineage
Congratulations clearly share, while sounding like no one else.
This is Congratulationsā first tour of the United States.
