Bandmates needed for songwriter

Arlington VA

Description

Hi, my names Mike. I'm 26 years old and just relocated to Arlington. I'm looking for bandmates to form a band and play on a project of original songs my partner and I are working on. We have about 7 mostly done and others in the works but ultimately would like to play shows and record an album. Classically trained in piano (20 years) and have a BM in piano performance focusing on jazz but I will do lead vocals and likely play rhythm guitar. Most of our songs are alt-rock/punk with some synth. Looking for a drummer, lead guitarist, bass player, and potentially keys. Multi-instrumentalist may be needed for some of the songs. My soundcloud isn't updated since newer versions but you can check it out to get an idea of the sound: https://soundcloud.com/holidaydeathtribute And here's an open mic with some updated versions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rjEXX342XHZd31mn13ylHeR_D4uzi-9c/view A little about me: burnout from music school, suffering from childhood trauma, emotionally abusive father, my therapist recommends that I do this, ecstatic dancing isn't doing it for me anymore... Tryna rock basically. I like all types of music, kindof all over the place but here are some artists that come to mind: Green Day, The 1975, My Chemical Romance, The Killers, Rise Against, The Cure, Jeff Buckley, Snail Mail, Pinegrove, The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Alvvays, Bon Iver, The Japanese House, Breaking Benjamin, Now Now, Prince, Turnover, Stevie Wonder, Moose Blood, Erykah Badu, Alfred Brendel
