ABOUT

No covers originals only. Looking for musicians to form a band or looking to join a band. Looking for bass,drums, vocals, and possibly second guitar. I am mostly a rhythm guitarist with a lead mix. I am not a fan of solos. Could I play them? Most likely but I’m not interested. Want to form a band or join one that is upbeat, edgy, catchy, melodic with hints of heaviness. I play whatever comes out might be really heavy might be really pretty or somewhere in between.

I have pro gear and have been playing for 25 years. I’ve pretty much played every place worth anything in NJ and NY both small and large venues. I am committed but right now it’s just getting people together just to get stuff written and see how we get along before we talk shows/tours. I have a great job I’m not looking to pick up and leave to go tour with no backing such as a label flipping the bill. I smoke a lot of pot too and you should be ok with that. No other drugs and you should not be into drugs either.

Music on here is from my last band I did. More hard rock but I have heavier stuff too. I wrote it and it’s just me playing the guitar I am not singing on this. I am currently working with an entertainment company based in Hollywood CA for scores in tv, movies, video games and whatever else I need them to do for me.

Influences

Lots but I don’t want to sound like anything out there. Seems like everyone wants to be Kill Switch Engage these days. I do like Killswitch, Spirit Box, Wage War, Architects, E Town, Hatebreed, Bear Tooth, Thrice, 12 Foot Ninja, Gwar, Mucky Pup, Madball. Lots of old school Rap, Hardcore, metal, and thrash metal. Absolutely hate country.
