Guitarist wanting to start a modern alternative/hard rock band

Carbondale IL

Description

I'm 36 and played in a couple bands and done shows. Mostly rhythm and backup vocals, but can play a little lead as well. Wanting to play newer, faster paced music, not classic rock. Examples for covers would be Rise Against, Papa Roach, A Day to Remember, Chili Peppers, other similar stuff, and maybe some originals if we are able to. Also possibly some female vocal stuff if we happen to find one. I have all my own equipment, but no place to practice. Wouldn't mind splitting cost for studio rental time if need be. Not looking to record, just want to get a tight group and then go play out and have some fun. Serious and experienced replies only, please.
