Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Guitarist looking to form or join a dub reggae/alternative (dare I say nu?) metal band. I feel there isn't enough of this type of mix/fusion and I want to bring something fresh to the current range of local rock/metal that's available. Interested? Hell yeah! Let me know!!
Bit of background:
I've been playing guitar for around 10 years, self taught and always learning. I'm of average ability really, but I know your usual scales to play with a solo or two. The music I've uploaded was really just me messing on with FL studio testing the drum machine more than anything, but better to hear something than nothing right? Right! Mainly I was a drummer in bands around Newcastle. Self released 3 Ep's with 3 different bands from 2007 to 2011. I played drums for World is Static from 2007-2011, Gravity Switch from 2008-2009 and Psy of The Dead from 2010-2012. Also bass with an industrial electronic band Death by Electro Giants 2009-2010. It's now time for me to pick up the strings, take the bull by the horns so to speak and do something I've wanted to do for years!
I'm open to other ideas around

Just something I quickly recorded using FL studio and EZ drummer, awesome for quick ideas! Rough mix, rough sound but you get the idea...plus I think its better to have something to hear rather than nothing, right? Right!
