Rebel Station + Band in Swindon, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

We're an originals 3 piece playing a mix of Punk and garage rock at high tempo.

Rebel Station have several releases on streaming services and have played with many of the big names in the punk community at some legendary venues but we are now in need of a new Drummer (plus backing vox if they would like & can sing).

What we can offer:

- Plenty of stage time being a third of a band who want to show the world what they can do. With the pittance original "local" bands get at most gigs, it cetainly wont make you rich and perhaps wont even make the fuel money, but it will make you feel alive and part of something. If you NEED to play/sing original music then we're the band for you.

- Loads of contacts for gigs & festivals. Gigs are like busses, none then a bundle, but we're aiming for 12-24 a year, (not been that frequent since pre-covid). some are small and some are bigger festivals.

- Studio recording in a proffessional environment. get your musical legacy recorded for time immemorial (we run a band kitty for merch, practice and studio time etc.) , plus occassional magazine interviews etc.

- Laughs, Fun & Friendship in and out of the band. Beers, gig-going or even a bit of outdoor activities if its your thing. its about comradeship.

What we're after:

- An energetic drummer, who can bring the band together on stage and get us all pumped. Obviously some punk and rock rhythms can be fairly fast but monotonous, however, we would be very keen to mix in some more unusual patterns that might not be thought of within the genre into our songs moving forwards

- Your own gear (not just electric), most practice places we use would only require breakables, same with gigs, but for those rare occassions headlining, or supporting acts that dont share etc you'd need your own kit.

-Ability to travel - We'd travel literally anywhere (fees dependant), but realistically most are London/the south/Midlands and hopefully a couple in south Wales. They very occassionally require a 5 or 6pm weekday load in or a couple of hours travel, so some work flexibility would be a bonus, but can probably be worked around.

- Enthusiasm, commitment and a sense of proffessionalism no matter if this would be your first band or your 50th.
We doubt we'll be the darlings of Kerrang! Radio (ideally we're after an age range of 30's through to mid 50's, but if you're the right guy or girl it shouldn't matter)....But we still put in as much now as when we were starting out and treat it like a job, but one we absoloutely love. It would be great if you wanted to help out hunting gigs, selling merch, promoting the socials etc. :-)

- Regular practices. With a new lineup we will probably move to fortnightly meets unless we have a gig/recording etc coming up.
We're based over in Swindon but we could probably travel as far as Cheltenham to the west and Witney/Eynesham to the east or somewhere suitable in between.

So...if youve made it this far and it sounds like your thing, drop us a message!! :-)
