SEEKING
Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I’m a 24-year-old lyricist and vocalist currently looking for passionate musicians to join me in forming a new and ambitious band. Over the past few years, I’ve written lyrics for what could be categorised as three albums, each with its own distinct theme. While I have a clear creative vision, I am searching for talented individuals who are eager to collaborate, share their own input, and help shape the sound of these songs.
This project is about creating something truly special together. I’m looking for dedicated bandmates who share the drive to craft powerful, memorable music and are willing to put in the time and effort to perfect it. Currently, I'm searching for a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, bassist, drummer, and possibly a keyboardist.
I have two potential names for the band, but this will ultimately be a collective decision made once we have the full team on board. I value collaboration in all aspects, from music to branding, and I want this band to represent all of us.
If you're a committed musician ready to embark on this journey and create something timeless, I’d love to hear from you.

Influences
The Strokes had a profound impact on my lyrical approach for the first album I wrote. Their ability to blend sharp, observational storytelling with minimalistic phrasing, particularly on albums like Is This It and Room on Fire, shaped how I write lyrics. They taught me the power of simplicity in conveying complex emotions, with a raw, unpolished feel that I aim to emulate in my own writing.
Oasis, Blur, The Verve have been an important cornerstone of my musical development. The larger-than-life choruses and raw sound of Oasis' first two albums, combined with the introspective, art-school edge of Blur and The Verve’s emotive ballads, have shaped the anthemic qualities I aim for in my songwriting.
Metronomy: The band’s unique blend of electronic beats and indie rock, especially in The English Riviera, has influenced my approach to atmosphere and song structure. Their ability to layer sounds and create a sense of place inspired me to bring a similar depth to my lyrics, blending mood with storytelling.
The Kinks, The Police : Old-school British rock from The Kinks and The Police has had a lasting influence on my sound. The Kinks’ and The Police’s rhythmic interplay have been key to how I approach songwriting, aiming to create narratives within tight, catchy structures.
Nirvana – The raw energy and emotion in Nevermind, particularly tracks like “Territorial Pissings,” showed me the importance of unfiltered expression. Nirvana's intensity has been key in shaping the emotional depth I aim to bring to my lyrics.
Arctic Monkeys – The sharp, witty lyricism of Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not and the more expansive sound of Favourite Worst Nightmare have both heavily influenced the way I structure songs, blending narrative with punchy, memorable lines.
Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Hives. These 2000s indie bands have shaped my approach to rhythm and energy in songwriting. Their relentless pace and infectious hooks are qualities I hope to capture in the sound of my own music, ensuring a live-wire energy throughout the albums.

EQUIPMENT
Currently, there is no equipment available, so I’m counting on each band member to have their own instrument. I’m also looking for a high-quality microphone. If any additional equipment is needed, we can discuss how to acquire it and arrange for studio space (if necessary) once the band is fully formed. The early stages of creating a band and making music will be unforgettable experiences that we’ll cherish and reflect on with great joy.
