Everyone knows these sites don’t work. Full of 3Am post and half hearted people. Finding someone is like pulling an intact tooth out of a head full of rotten ones.

I want to start a band that reflects the world as it is without dramatizing it or glamorizing it The lies, the unnecessary suffering people cause each other because they’re too selfish, too comfortable, having too good a time to do otherwise. Aspirations colliding with reality, knowledge of failed dreams, and the relentless procession of next days.

Words should be backed up with emotion. Music should be dredged up from somewhere deep inside you, fetid raw and ugly but oddly beautiful. And it should sound like it being done by a person, not a mechanical cube with cynical idiot operating it at one end.
The whole thing; music, words, ideas, images should be a world you can sink into like a shady room on a hot day.

I sing and write lyrics and I am looking for band members, primarily someone to write songs with (think a lonesome Morrissey wandering the moors waiting for his Marr to rescue him).
The music should have wit, sensuality, spite disgust, desperation, fury in it. All the good things that are missing from music now. It should always have an undercurrent of darkness and despair.
Age range 18-30ish. Nothing against anyone older but I’m 20 and would feel massively uncomfortable with someone much older myself.

Bad things:
• Plinky twanky guitars that sound like someone’s playing with taunt knicker elastic.
• People who not only tolerate but accept the categorisation of Coldplay as music. Music should be a source of joy not the vague satisfaction of getting the paperwork done. Feeling is what maters.
• Kate Nash is not indie.
• Talking in s fake regional accent (meaning south London or generic north accent) and rhyming things with ‘Stella’ does not make you edgy and in touch with real life. It makes you a derivative twat.
• Just wanting to have a laugh. It’s a band not a social club. Life is not a party. Think tat makes you either blind or stupid.

I Love: Manic Street Preachers, Pulp, Suede, The Smiths, No Doubt.
I like: Joy Division, Morrissey, Patti Smith, Bowie, The Divine Comedy, Musicals, The Clash, Happy Mondays, Bill Hicks, Catatonia, Elastica, Guns ‘N’ Roses, Babes in Toyland etc.

If you are interested contact/email me with influences, the things that are going on in your head that make you want to make music, what you want the soul of the music to be,

And for the love of Christ don’t just say you want to make music, it doesn’t matter what. Like something and have something to say for yourself.
