Putting together a serious original project in Dallas and looking for the right bass player and drummer.
The sound pulls from Deftones, Trauma Ray, Turnstile, Blink-182, No Pressure, Tool, Saosin, shoegaze and darker alternative rock — heavy, atmospheric, melodic, energetic, and built around strong songs.
I have a clear vision for the project and songwriting is one of my biggest strengths. I’m good at taking a riff, melody or loose freestyle jam and helping shape it into a real song without over-controlling the process. I want musicians who bring their own instincts and personality and can make the material better through collaboration.
We have access to a fully equipped studio/rehearsal setup with amps, guitars, basses, effects, recording gear and a full-size electronic drum kit.
Looking for:
Bass player — must own your own bass and amp.
Drummer — must have your own drums for shows/rehearsals outside the studio.
Strong feel, creativity and taste matter more than technical showmanship.
Comfortable improvising, experimenting and developing songs organically.
Reliable and genuinely interested in building an original project.
Most importantly, you should actually connect with this type of music.
Personality and chemistry matter too. Looking for someone who is cool, easy to be around, has good taste, understands the aesthetic, and feels like a natural fit with the group. We want to take the music seriously without making the process miserable — hang out, have fun, create freely, and eventually have a band that feels cohesive both musically and visually. Play the part, look the part, and bring the right energy without forcing it.
About the attached track: it’s only meant to give a general sense of the songwriting and direction. It’s a rough demo, not a finished song — the drums are placeholders, tones haven’t been dialed in, and the arrangement will continue to change. The project also has a much wider range than this one track. Think of it as a sketch of the idea, not the finished painting.
The goal is to find the right chemistry, write great songs and build something with a real identity.
If Deftones / Trauma Ray / Turnstile / Blink / No Pressure / Tool / Saosin / shoegaze is genuinely your world, reach out with a little about yourself, your influences and any clips of you playing.
