Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard.ABOUT
I am a 16 year old guitarist looking to either start or join a band that plays and writes prog/post-rock, prog metal or art rock. I have been playing for 9 years, and 3 years ago I also started learning bass guitar.
Musicians of any age welcome.
The genres of prog/post-rock, prog metal and art rock are very diverse, but here is a list of the bands I listen to:
Ataxia, Circus Maximus, Crippled Black Phoenix, Diagonal, Dream Theater, Dredg, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Iron Maiden, Jeff Buckley, John Frusciante, Karnivool, A Liquid Landscape, Liquid Tension Experiment, Long Distance Calling, Mogwai, Pelican, A Perfect Circle, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Riverside, Russian Circles, Skyharbor, TesseracT, This Town Needs Guns, Tool, Warpaint
It's a pretty wide variety of stuff, I know, but if you want to start a band influenced by any of these, leave a reply or email me at: jrpettitt01
