I want to start a punk rock band...

[CSquared]

I know there are a few people on here that play instruments, and i've been trying to start a band for the longest damn time, so i figured i'd make a thread and see if anyone is interesting in getting something together.

I'm probably a better bassist but i'd really like to do something where I could be lead vocals and rhythm guitar. I'm not totally set on punk(old school) but that is definitely my preference (i'm REALLY desperate to get back into the music scene).

So i guess i need a good lead guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. I can offer my house (in lilburn) as a practice spot and the best day for me to get together would be sunday after 6.

I have a few sketchy samples of what i've written if you'd like to hear. Recordings were done on a computer microphone with an acoustic guitar.

let me know,
chris

p.s.

If anyone has any other openings for bands i'd also be interested in that. I don't really have a bass setup anymore aside from my old piece of shit ibanez but i'd be more confident playing bass than guitar in somebody elses band. If i felt it was worth my money i'd be willing to go out and get some decent equipment. I have some gig experience and whatnot.

[4dmin]

i sold all of my equipment last spring (drummer)

[Sol-Badguy]

I just got rid of my Line6 Spyder a couple of months ago. I don't really have any good equipment at the moment.

[CSquared]

lol glad to know the musicians of IA have nothing to play on.

[TheGrillMan]

same here x g\f gave away my 1960's slanta and 5150 then my jackson was stolen in tifton on my way up

[koukis14]

I have a huge Ludwig Vista clear series form the 70's.....in Pennsylvania. Sorry. Why Punk anyway if you dont mind me asking.

[CSquared]

Does anybody have ANYTHING? I'll settle for a guitarist who has a banjo.

[§treet_§peed]

i'm a drummer.. i'm about to get a new drum kit.. but i don't rly dig punk rock unless it's misfits

I just like it. The new music really doesn't do much for me. I should have been born in the 70s.

[§treet_§peed]

lol punk rock with a bnajo that would be interesting and almost a first?

[koukis14]

Wanna buy my kit too?? Come on man punk rock is as easy as country to play. Easy money and free drinks if you get some bar gigs.

[§treet_§peed]

[ShooterMcGavin]

if this goes in any sort of way as did the ia softball team u were trying to start, then i guess it'll never come to fruition either

[4dmin]

lol glad to know the musicians of IA have nothing to play on.

well i wish you would of posted back last spring... i have been trying to get back into music for the past couple years and everyone is so flaky... thats why i sold my equipment. if i play again it will only be for fun.

i still play guitar every once in a while but its rare.

[Halfwit]

good luck.

lol kiss my ass.

i'd give you reps for that because you def burned me, but apparently i have to spread some around first.

Yeah I mean I'm not looking to start anything that is going to be immediately serious. I've always believed that you should take some time to create band chemistry and write some good music before you "come out of the closet" (yes, i probably could have picked a better phrase).

I'm doing 50+ hours a week between work and school so i really can't afford to dive right into anything at this point (which is why the softball team fell on it's face)... So, I'd really like to do this more for fun than anything else.

[ShooterMcGavin]

hey speaking of falling on ur face, gonna try to start up football again starting next tue be on the lookout for a thread later this week

[Decker1.8t]

[91LudeSiT]

I play a little guitar, mostly punk. Haven't touched the damn thing in ages, might be nice to pick it up where I left off.

[Spectic Tank]

CORRECTION: Korn USED to be the shit lol

[CSquared]

[GTScoob]

I still need to find some time to practice bass. Props for making a punk band, what bands are your major influences?

He plays the skin flute.

The only punk band i listen to consistently is pennywise but i really like some mixed songs from rancid, social distortion, bad religion, the misfits and so on. I doubt they all really fall into the same category but good shit none the less. Sublime is probably more punk/ska but they are my favorite band of all time.

[GTScoob]

Good shit. If you ever want a trombone solo in a song hit me up, I really dont want to play in a ska band though. I used to goof around and jam with friends' bands on it.

[91LudeSiT]

So where do you live, and what instrument do you play?

[Decker1.8t]

so what do you like to play then?

more metal/progressive hardcore stuff

[CSquared]

Read my original post holmes.

I play bass and guitar... I live in lilburn.

[CSquared]

more metal/progressive hardcore stuff

I haven't listened to enough of that style to even know where to begin. Otherwise I'm down with anything really as long as the people I'm doing it with are cool enough.

[Hulud]

i was/am lookin to start a hardcore band

[sirkus]

I have 3 acoustic guitars.. I play them a lot. I need an electric. I do more of a folk picking sound though... boring.
