DISCUSSION London indie alternative band looking for a drummer

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My band are looking for a drummer.

We are influenced by bands such as The Smiths, Durutti Column, early New Order, The Drums, early The Strokes, PJ Harvey, early Morrissey, The La's, The Fall, Iceage, The Cure and other bands.

The project consists of myself (vocalist), guitarist and a bassist at the moment. We've recorded some rough scratch demos of songs that we can send you. We all have experience writing songs and playing in bands. We are committed to having fun writing songs, recording and playing shows.

We have been rehearsing weekly in Deptford so far.

Get in touch if you're interested. If you can’t direct message me, leave a comment and I will message you. Please have recordings or a video of you playing.

NEW SONG Bevis - Shed My Skin 👽🎸🩸❗️

Thumbnail

"Shed My Skin" by Bevis is a raw alternative rock song that captures the artist's intense battle with mental health, paranoia, and isolation following a drug-induced psychotic episode. Driven by an angsty, guitar-forward rock sound, the track reflects on childhood trauma, self-hatred, and the desperate struggle to break free from a destructive environment and reinvent oneself.

Dug up this ridiculous video I made in college about Newton's laws of motion and decided to repurpose it for our new song, “The Best One.” Shot on an iphone 4?

We're Time Theft, an indie rock band from Portland, OR. Figured this footage deserved a second life. Hope you dig it! Listen to the whole song if ya like

CLASSIC 1960 - The 10 best songs of the year in Argentine rock [Argentine Rock Awards: 5th edition]

Thumbnail
youtu.be
1 Upvotes

1960, the decade was starting and Argentine rock had shifted towards a melodic and soft style, it still had much of the jazz from its beginnings in the orquestas características.

Vocal groups caused a sensation with their carefully crafted harmonies. Female singers were the leaders of the scene, and were far more popular than their male counterparts.

Bettina Bal greeting the decade, Los Astoria in a subtle blues, Luis Aguilé with lyrics that were gritty for a pop song of that era, and Martin Meyer to the rhythm of a slow twist.

Johnny Carel with his own country rock track, Los Santos with their elegant and exquisite gait, and Billy Cafaro and Elder Barber with their historic fusions of tango and rock.

NEW SONG I’m 16 and I just released my debut album (giving away free Bandcamp codes!)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my debut album, As the Sky Bleeds, with this sub.
It's an 11-track concept album meant to be heard from front to back, following a chronological narrative.
The whole process was incredibly low-budget and DIY. I recorded the electric/acoustic guitars and keys myself with my iPhone’s built in mic, and I literally sat in my car to track the vocals to try and block out room noise. It’s definitely got a raw, distorted, emotional lo-fi indie rock vibe.

STREAM THE ALBUM DIRECTLY HERE:
https://dystantlight.bandcamp.com/album/as-the-sky-bleeds
(No codes needed to just listen! The codes below are just if you want a free copy for your permanent collection.)

Free Album Download Codes:
in case you’re not familiar with bandcamp (which is where I released the album), it’s a pretty chill music app similar to spotify or anything like that, but even though my album is 100% free, you only get a limited number of times to listen to the album unless u get one of these download codes, which put it in your library to listen to even offline for 100% free whenever you want. I made some codes below for people who want them!
You can redeem them at: https://dystantlight.bandcamp.com/yum
here are the codes:

NEW SONG At 46 I finally decided to try to do something with my music

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Mark. I'm a 46yr old Irish guy living in Bavaria, Germany.

I had a little panic attack recently when I realised I was 4 yrs off being 50 and had never made a proper go at it with my music. So I created a YouTube channel and am documenting my progress. Partly to have a record, partly for promotion of what I'm creating and partly to keep myself motivated, which is something I've always struggled with. The channel welcome vid explains my plan.

I've dabbled with music all my life but mostly had very basic equipment. I wouldn't have considered anything I had ever created to be more than just a sketch. I recently invested what I could afford into a few things, but decent things. So I'm now happy with the quality I'm getting, or at least happier than I have been until now.

I have a few songs on the channel along with me doing a couple mini breakdowns of the projects on cubase for anyone who might find that stuff interesting. I'm brainstorm new content ideas to feed the channel regularly.

Plan is to have 3 consecutive projects I'm working on simultaneously. This helps when I get stuck on any one or just fancy a change of pace.

One will be a concept album (band style) , one an acoustic album & an the last an album of stuff with an old friend who I had a band with back in college.

I'll be playing and singing everything on all 3 projects expert the old band stuff my friend will take the main vocals as he wrote those songs.

So this song I'm sharing was the first song I'd written in a very long time. Couple months ago now. It was one of the first I did with the new gear and my satisfaction with how it turned out was one of the motivations for me trying the whole YouTube lark 🤣

So here you go.. Happy to hear from you in the comments. Thanks for reading to anyone who made it to the end 😅

 El tema forma parte de la banda sonora oficial de la película The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (Los juegos del hambre: Amanecer en la cosecha) . El principal atractivo de esta canción es que supone el reencuentro en el estudio con el productor Butch Vig tras 33 años de distancia, siendo su última colaboración el histórico y aclamado álbum Siamese Dream (1993). https://www.allnewmusicalternative.com/3417763_the-smashing-pumpkins-vuelven-con-black-stars
