Dedicated guitarist & songwriter currently looking for like-minded band-mates aged 25-30's to get a new project off the ground. Also have a drummer who is a long term friend & collaborator, sat on a shed load of material to unleash upon the world in 2018 & need a committed vocalist and bassist to achieve it. Ideally based in Cheltenham, if not then a practical driving distance away to rehearse at least once a week moving to more regular practices in preparation for gigs/tours when needed. Only considering serious offers, hopefully you can be self sufficient in terms of transport, and flexible financially with regards to gear choices to match our specific sound.
We're aiming big (what else is there) & we're all driven to making successful careers in the music industry as our first priority so we're looking for flexibility, but most importantly for creative people that we can have a laugh with along the way. We've all had experience playing in bands and various projects over the years as well as studying music through higher education, so a good understanding of music is crucial because we really want this to be a collaborative experience as we move forward.
Thanks for reading this absolute essay, drop me a message if you think you've got the chops.

EQUIPMENT
Amplification - Ideally Kemper Profiler/Axe Fx (2 onwards) for a digital approach, Darkglass/Alpha Omega pedal style bass tone is essential. Dingwall/Mayones - Darkglass Tone Capsule pickups are the sound we're after.
Vocals - Shure SM7B or equivalent mic - Looking for versatility, the majority of material will require a high register (think Dan Tompkins of TesseracT or Ian Kenny of Karnivool) but proficiency in metal vocals for certain parts is key although our focus is melodic at it's core (think Sam Carter of Architects)
