SEEKING

Bass Guitar, Drums.

ABOUT

I play guitar and sing. I'm always looking for a hard rock/metal drummer or bassist to form a band or side-project to write original songs. Some rough recordings are here on my profile. I'm available to practice once a week/twice a month, gig once every couple of months or so, and to record an album. I have plenty of songs written and several in the works, but songs can be rearranged/ reimagined and new songs can be written when other musicians want to pitch in.

I've been in bands since I was 18. Over the years I've played: heavy, dark, down-tuned, sludge, stoner rock, metal, desert rock, thrash, and straight-forward hard rock. I play some mellower stuff as well.
I have a friendly attitude, I get along well with others, and I like jammin to be fun and not stressful. I really enjoy creating songs when the whole band pitches in (ideas for new riffs, song structure, random ideas, Lyrics, etc..)

I was in the Maryland hard-rock, stoner/doom scene from about 2002-2014. My main two bands were Nitroseed and Gorge. We shared the stage with lots of other local and touring bands..... but most notably: Big Business(The Melvins), Torche, Harvey Milk, The Atomic Bitchwax, Sourvein, Solace, Sixty Watt Shaman, Elder, Valkyrie, Earthride, Treasure Cat(Karma to Burn)...
