Indie/Shoegaze/Emo/Noise/Pop/Slowcore/etc... Group looking for Drummer

Baltimore MD

Description

Hi there! We're a band from south Baltimore, currently out of Brooklyn Park. For the last few years we've been writing songs that somewhat fit into the jumbled conglomerate of genres above. For the most part, fairly traditional rock/pop structures with a focus on emotion and texture. We are finishing up our self-recorded/produced debut EP currently and hope to have that released sometime in the next 2 months. Unfortunately our last drummer had to depart due to conflicting commitments, so we're hoping to find a solid drummer that can continue to breath life into these songs. The music is heavily visceral and rhythmic. Most of the drum parts are fairly simple, 4/4 rock grooves though with some Hip Hop/Drum machine type rhythms mixed in. The parts are pretty dynamic in terms of loudness/feel. Some slow/mid-tempo, some fast. Fairly straightforward overall I'd say though. The goal of the group currently is get our feet wet in the city by playing shows regularly for the time being. We just played 2 shows this past month and have more in the works. I personally much prefer playing live to writing, but enjoy both immensely and would love to write collaboratively after fleshing out/playing shows with the current batch of songs. We also have an aim to go on some smaller tours in the near future (1-2 week long). Hopefully sometime next year. It would be great if that's something doable that interests you! We practice at least 1 day a week, most of which happen to fall on weekdays after 6pm. However, I have a flexible schedule and can practice more than once a week and on weekends if need be. Overall, we're just looking for someone that's upbeat, fun, and steady behind the kit! If any of this seems cool to you, send a reply! Let us know a little bit about yourself, your musical background, what band/drumming experience you have and any music you've worked on if you can! We'll send some songs your way and you can let us know what you think!
