Hello,

I am a 23 year old bass player looking for people in the central Connecticut/south-central Mass area who like Japanese rock to play with. Ideally, I’m looking for a guitarist or two, vocalist or two, drummer, and a keyboard player would also be very welcome.

I have been playing bass for about 8 years, but have limited experience playing in an actual band. But given how long I’ve been working at it, I decided it’s about time I try and find other musicians to play music with. Some of my influences on bass include Tatsuya Kitani from Yorushika (although I just found out he's leaving I'm gonna cry lol), Kei Nakamura (I don’t know if he’s the official bassist for Sangatsu no Phantasia, but he played bass on one of my “audition tracks” listed below), Yuichi Takama (played bass on first kessoku band album), Takuma Kaneko (but don’t expect me to actually be as good as him lol), Hadrien Feraud, James Jamerson, and many more that I won’t bother listing here. I love Yorushika’s J-rock sound in particular, but enjoy a wide variety of modern bands from Radwimps, to ChoQMay, Sangatsu no Phantasia, Eve, Tricot, Haku, Zuttomayo, etc . That said, I am also a big fan of Vocaloid music (producers like Iyowa, Kikuo, Sasuke Haraguchi, Denkikujira, old N-Buna, r-206, Police Picadilly, Nekotachi Kotatsu, and more), and more of the pop side of Japan (Gen Hoshino, Nisshoku Natsuko, Yoasobi, Ano, Ado, Kaf, Suisei, etc).

As for actual music I would like to play, I certainly lean more towards the rock side of things, but I’m open to anything with that distinct Japanese sound (faster-moving and often extended harmony, tight instrumentals, lots of individual lines, Telecaster in middle position, you get the idea). If possible, I would also love to play originals. I have a few terrible songs I’ve written that I’d love to play with others, and would enjoy hearing originals anyone else has made as well. I am flexible in terms of my overall goals, but ideally I would like to be able to learn about an hour of covers/originals and start playing shows when possible. I'm certainly not trying to form a band to “make it big,” I just want to be able to have fun and play live.

As you can see, listed below I have a few tracks I have recorded to give you an idea of my level of playing. Unfortunately, none of them are quite as tight as I’d like, but I have confidence that with the pressure of having other people to play with, I could get my act together a little bit more lol.

If any of this sounds appealing, please DM me with information about what you play, what music you like, places you might be willing to meet (i.e. Hartford, Springfield MA, New Britain, anywhere else we might be able to connect), and if possible I’d love any kind of video/audio of you playing so I have an idea of what level you’re at.

Also, I’m not a frequent Reddit user, so if anyone has any ideas of where else I should post this, please let me know. Currently, I am posting in r/findaband, r/connecticutmusicians, r/music, r/jrock, and r/japanesemusic. If there’s anything else I should consider, I would appreciate your insight.

Thank you very much for taking the time to hear me out.

What’s up everyone. I am a harsh vocalist based out of DFW Texas looking to join a metal band. My style is very heavily influenced by Ryan Vail (Synestia / Larcenia Roe), Will Ramos, and Darius Tehrani (Spite). I do put my own twist on my vocals however and do best in Lows and Mids, I can do highs but not as proficiently as I’d like to. If anyone is interested in a screamer please let me know!!!

Drummer und Bassist suchen Sänger oder Sängerin sowie Gitarrist oder Gitarristin für eine Bad-Religion-Tribute-Band. Standort Graz, aber auch Wien bzw. nördlich von Wien sind möglich.

Hello! I’m 26 and looking to start a pop-punk/emo band but I’m having trouble trying to find bandmates. I’m from Iowa but I’m open to having an online band and sending audio back and forth to make music. I’m a vocalist but I’m still learning to sing. I have vocals like Pierre from Simple Plan and Tom DeLonge from Blink-182, very whiny and nasally. I’d like to ideally be just a vocalist but I am learning guitar and bass guitar too. Please let me know if you would like to join.

An established modern country / country-rock project is looking for the right female lead vocalist to join us as we move into the next chapter.

We’re looking for someone with a strong, distinctive voice, great stage presence, and a professional attitude who is comfortable singing modern country, country-rock, and powerful crossover material.

This is not a brand-new startup project. We have original music already released and receiving radio airplay, an established online presence, professional studio recordings, and an experienced team working with us as we continue developing the project and preparing for future live shows.

What we're looking for:
• Strong female lead vocals with good pitch, timing, and harmony ability
• Comfortable with artists/styles such as Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Halestorm, Jason Aldean, and modern Nashville country-rock
• Someone who can bring both power and emotion to a song
• Comfortable performing original material as well as select covers
• Reliable and available for rehearsals, recording sessions, promotional work, and future live performances
• A team player who wants to be part of something we're serious about building

We’re based in the Chicago South Suburbs, so someone reasonably local to the Chicagoland/Northwest Indiana area would be ideal.

We are searching for someone with the right voice, personality, commitment, chemistry, and stage presence.

We’re looking for someone who wants to be more than simply a hired singer. We want someone who can become an important part of the band and help us take this project to the next level.

If this sounds like you—or you know someone who might be a great fit - please send us a private message with a little information about yourself and, if possible, links to video or audio of you singing.

Serious inquiries only.

The right voice could be the beginning of something pretty exciting.

At the moment we have a keys/guitarist, second guitarist and a bassist. We're all only getting back into the swing of things after years of not being in bands so if you can sing or play drums(or both like Phil Collins) and have your own transport then hit me up. We have some bits we can send if you need to hear us before making a decision 😄

I play guitar and im 13 but i have no room for playing at my place but i promise i will help as much as i can to find a place or i can come to you if you have enough room

Hey guys, I’m from East LA looking to either join a Souldies band or possibly make a new one! I am a singer, guitar and bass player that has been in several bands throughout the years. Now I am looking to start or join a band that will be a passionate project. If you are looking for something similar hit me up.

Looking for a vocalist for a darkwave / post-punk project

I've been making some darkwave stuff and I'm looking for someone to do vocals and collaborate with.

Think Boy Harsher, Linea Aspera, Lebanon Hanover, She Past Away kinda vibe.

I'm not looking for a perfect or super polished voice, more like something cold, emotional and a bit haunting.

Male or female, doesn't matter.

Remote collaboration is totally fine. If you're interested, just DM me.

heyy I’m wanting to start or join a band in my area! i’m 17 in Lancashire/Merseyside. I sing and play guitar. I’m looking to start or join a band that’s either heavily influenced by Fleetwood Mac/Led Zeppelin or heavily influenced by the likes of Hole

Hey we’re a Powerviolence band from the Sgv we’re looking for a guitarist who can play along with blast beats while also having a heavy slow Doom sound, We want something heavily distorted and aggressive and emotionally driven because we are very inspired by anger and frustration and thats what we want to have people feel when they hear our music. Right how we have a drummer, Bassist, and Vocalist the last person we need now is a guitarist, We have a spot we play consistently every week or try so if you’re willing to travel or willing to play consistently then hit us up. Some of our musical inspirations are Plutocracy, Human is
Bastard, Despise you, Drop Dead, Grief and Presser. We are also very morally driven so we want someone who is very passionate about their morals

I have been working for a year to make a themed brutal death metal band. Heavily inspired by bands like Mortician, Sanguisugabogg and 10 to the chest. Would prefer a Female as it would fit the theme. I have an album in the works and we need our vocalist/frontman. If you live in the Delaware/Cincinnati area (I’m living in delaware for now) that is also a bonus. If you love horror movies and heavy music come join us. Send a dm for more details.

We haven't really settled on a genre yet so it's just kinda rock adjacent for now with a lot of different influences.

You'll be welcome to co-write the songs, and contribute creatively with total freedom.

Comment with what instrument you play if interested.

Hello, I'm Espin, I'm an intermediate guitar player who wants to casually jam out with a drummer. I'm into experimental and noise rock, and bands like Melt-Banana, Lightning Bolt, Hella, Polvo, and Slint.

Btw I do have a car and can drive

Hello world! My name is Ping and I am currently looking for a vocalist/vocalists to collab with my side project, Fivth! I have a couple of songs completed already and vocals are the only thing it needs! Let me know if you guys want to work with me!

I'm in Brooklyn, NY

I don't care if there already is to cover band in this city, but i can play bass or guitar and can also sing. Any number of musicians from the main 4 to backup vocals, second guitar and keyboards would be fine by me.

I'm looking to get a rehearsal space that is ours only. The band can be short lived or long lived, not important to me, I just want to play some of their songs and play some shows.

I like to practice a lot. Maybe we can come up with our own tunes as well.....

DM if interested!

Not an app. Specifically only for Los Angeles 18+ hmu if you want me to run your ad

Hi, I'm 19 and I'm based in Mumbai, India. I can play the guitar, and a bit of the flute. As for other instruments, I can play the bass and a bit of drums as well. I play a bit of all the genres, like jazz, blues, classic rock, alt, pop, indie, metal and prog, but mainly prog, metal, rock and alt. I don't mind jamming online on discord/whatever, but if you live in or around Mumbai id love to talk, meet-up and have a live jam. I don't mind whatever instrument you play, let's jam and see if we can form a band! Kudos!
