I'm a 26-year-old singer-songwriter with a solid following in Manchester, playing under the name Pretty Cool.
The brand’s already there. There’s music written, shows played, an audience growing. Now looking to build the right live band and move things forward properly.
Looking for:
Drummer – solid, expressive, reliable
Bassist – groove is important, but energy > perfection
Optionally: Lead guitar or keys if you bring something interesting
You should:
Be Manchester-based
Be up for regular rehearsals, gigs, and recording
Want to be in this for real – not just for a hobby
Be decent to be around, no egos
Not looking for session players — this is about building something together.
If it sounds like a fit, get in touch and I’ll send over some stuff.

Influences
The project’s rooted in grunge and alt-rock — think Nirvana, The Breeders, Sonic Youth, with some Elliott Smith and Mac Miller for the darker, more self-aware stuff. Also really into lyricists like Courtney Barnett – dry, honest, sharp.
