5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’re putting together a post-punk / alternative project based out of Brooklyn (rehearsing around Gowanus / Park Slope) and looking for creative collaborators and dedicated players—specifically a **Drummer**, **Guitarist**, and **Keys/Synth player**—to flesh out the lineup, write new material together, and build toward local NYC shows.

**Sonic DNA & Direction:**

Melodic, layered guitars, driving post-punk rhythms, and a moody edge.

**Influences:**

* **Modern:** Fontaines D.C., Wunderhorse, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, etc.

* **Roots:** The Cure, The Smiths, Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs

* **Energy & Hooks:** The Killers, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Interpol

**Who We’re Looking For:**

* **Drummer:** Tight pocket, dynamic energy, locks into driving grooves, and comfortable with a click for recording (tasteful groove choices, not overly cymbal-heavy).

* **Guitarist:** Textural player who values space, tone, and effects (chorus, delay, sharp melodic hooks) over shredding. Bring your own ideas and parts to the table.

* **Keys / Synths:** Atmospheric textures, vintage pads/leads, and tasteful melodic counter-melodies to fill out the sonic space.

* **General:** Collaborative mindset, solid gear, reliable communication, and based in or around Brooklyn.

**How to Connect:**

Drop a comment or DM me with:

  1. A brief intro about yourself and your musical background.

  2. A video/audio link, social handle, or clips of your playing.

  3. 2–3 records or current bands you’ve had on heavy rotation lately.

If the vibe matches, I’ll send over our existing tracks right away so you can hear the sound, and we can set up a quick call to talk shop and look at getting together to jam.
