Looking to do try-outs with drummers in the new year.

ABOUT
Our first EP Eclipse was recorded at Hidden Track studios with Oz Craggs and is currently available on all streaming platforms.
However we need a proficient drummer to take this lineup live and give it the attention it deserves.

MUSICIANSHIP
We need someone who is comfortable with the following
- playing accurately to a click. live and recording as we run backing tracks live.
- at least familiar with DAWs and recording their own ideas
- can read score or at at least learn accurately by ear or midi and happy to write own parts.
- at least solid basic double kick skills for existing songs arrangements. But you don't need to be able to play technical deathcore at 300bpm.
- Bonus points if you have vocal or other instrumentalist abilities.

INFLUENCES
Ours vary drastically from pop punk to modern metal to pop.
We try to write music for the idea rather than the genre. Sometimes this will mean drop G riffs in 7/8 signature and sometimes this will mean piano, clean picking acoustic guitar synth and vocals for 80% of a song.

ATTITUDE
We are a group of nerds (friends and siblings) who would have loved the opportunity to try to go pro when we were younger but we all now have careers and commitments to work in alongside it now. We aren't the rockstar change the world type, our goals are more inline with reaching semi-pro so the expenses of the project eventually covers itself. We are realistic, but committed.
Things generally take a lot of organising in advance and you'll be trusted to learn and write things in your own space to a timeframe.
We view booked rehearsal rooms as run through spaces to glue things and try tech stuff, rather than a space to teach people parts like you get with many more casual bands.

Writing new material typically involves DAW demoing and guitar pro usage and files being sent back and fourth, discord calls and then when its in a good space we meet up and refine everything together in person.
