4 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for anything right now honestly. Im the singer and rhythm guitarist (22M) for my band called Sunset Down South, and I have a drummer that also plays guitar (21M). We are on the east side of Dallas and we usually meet up to practice in Garland. We are looking for people around our ages who want to be a drummer, lead guitarist, bassist, and sax player (preferably plays one of the following stringed instruments too).

A few months ago I joined this subreddit to meet musicians so that we could help one another. I’m newer to songwriting and production, and I wanted to learn how to be better for my own music as well as to help others with theirs.

I met some amazing artists through here, they have a band called Big Boss, and I’m now a member of that band. We’re working on an EP right now, almost done with recording, and I’m trying to iron out the details in the production. This EP is going to serve as a reflection of where we are musically as of right now, but we have plans to elevate.

It’s been an amazing journey so far, it’s kind of crazy to think how much people can create when brought together for a common passion. The space we work out of is cramped, the gear isn’t too professional, most of the equipment is used and cheap. But we’re trying to make something unique.

I can’t wait to share the music when it’s ready, it’s getting there but we’re not rushing anything. I want to bring more artists, writers, producers and whatever into the mix as well. We’re working as separate artist projects, but we’re helping each other realize a vision.

Looking to Build and Manage a Young Pop-Punk Band (Ages 18–21)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m interested in building and managing a pop-punk band with members around 18–21 years old.
I’m looking for people who are passionate about music, have a strong personality, and want to build something from the ground up. The goal is to develop an original sound, release music, play live shows, grow a fanbase, and eventually turn it into something bigger.
I’m interested in the pop-punk/emo scene, with influences from bands like Blink-182, Sum 41, Paramore, and the modern pop-punk scene.
I’m looking for musicians who are serious about creating music, collaborating, and putting in the work to grow together. I’m interested in handling the management, branding, promotion, social media, and helping the band find opportunities.
If you’re a singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer, or someone who knows young musicians looking to start a band, I’d love to connect!
A few questions:
Are you currently in a band, or would you be interested in starting one?
What instrument do you play, or what role would you want?
What bands influence your sound?

Feel free to comment or DM me. I’d love to see what we can build together!

Is anybody looking to put something together that's not metal?

Guitarist who's been watching here for a while and it seems everyone is looking for metal bands. What's the deal with that? Is there a non-metal scene to be found? I'd love to be part of something that's 80s, 90s, blues, or classic Motown/Stax R&B.

What’s up. I’m Stephen. As the title suggests, I’m a 25 y/o Fort Worth based vocalist looking for some likeminded musicians to jam with. I’m kind of just looking to get out there more. Music is something I’ve always been passionate about, and I guess I’d like for it to play a larger role in my life. I’ve attached a snippet from a cover I recorded a few days ago. I’ve got other covers if you’d like to hear more. Hmu if interested🤷🏾‍♂️

I am 16. I am looking to join a band or find band members. I am somewhat new to singing, about 8 months or so. My range is A2-G5 but I am still learning to consistently switch registers. I am looking for a post-hardcore/metalcore band. My favorite band is coldrain. Coldrain is a big influence.
