Drummer Wanted for indie punk alternative

New York City NY

Description

Looking for an experienced drummer who's looking to have some fun, make some music, play occasional shows (no hired guns, sorry). Not looking to do anything super serious, I have lots of responsibilities (parent, career, etc.), so cool if you do too. Age doesn't matter, but drum skills do. Genre is in the vein of indie punk, with some pop-punk, alternative, and emo splashed throughout. Some influential bands that come to mind: Jawbreaker, Nada Surf, Alkaline Trio, The Dangerous Summer, The Menzingers, The Flatliners, Set Your Goals, Danzig, The Cure, The Weakerthans, Lucero, Smoking Popes, Snow Patrol, Jimmy Eat World, Jets To Brazil, Mae, etc…. I've been in lots of bands since the 90s (I'm 44), but have mainly just been doing solo home recording the past several years. I'd like to try some of these songs live, with a band, but I also very much miss collaborative song writing, so if you have ideas, great! And if you can harmonize, even better (though not a requirement). I'd like to start as just a 3 piece (me on guitar and vox, bassist, drummer), but if things move in the right direction, we could add another guitar and/or keys. I have a bassist with harmonizing skills already interested, just need a drummer now. Here are a couple links to the two most recent set of home recordings I've done to give you an idea of the overall sound: https://kevinmartillo.bandcamp.com/album/fall-ep https://kevinmartillo.bandcamp.com/album/spring-ep There are lots of other songs/albums on the Bandcamp page, feel free to check 'em out if you’d like. Get at me if you're interested and please have some demos available.
