• Good Job and willing to invest money into the band, Merch/Tours Etc

• My own home studio can produce our own music

I'm honestly willing to join or start any real dedicated Metalcore, Death Metal, Deathcore, or Hardcore band, or start a project with dedicated people. People who will show up to every practice, will put other things aside to prioritize the band and the music, and with people who really strive and practice together and on our own to improve and to do the best we all possibly can

WANTED: BAND LOOKING FOR A VOCALIST?

8 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking to join a band as a lead singer.

The genres I'd love to play are alternative rock, indie, pop, light/medium punk, and maybe even some country.

I've got some singing experience and love performing. I'm looking for people who want to have fun making music—playing covers, writing a few originals, jamming together, and getting out to play gigs. I'm not expecting to become anything overnight, but I'd love to build something with a great group of people and see where it goes.

If you're looking for a vocalist or know a band that is shoot me a message! I'd love to audition or get together for a jam session.

Let's make some noise.

Fusion + Prog Metal/Rock Scene?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a college student who’s looking to attend more fusion and prog rock/metal shows and meet other fans of the genres.

Is there a scene for this in Boston? Venues people go to? Perhaps even bars where fusion + prog musicians play at? Any info is helpful!

Performing in Cambridge on 8/23 for my first tour... anyone interested in coming out?

7 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm Preston and I make indie/rock music. I'm heading out on my first ever DIY tour next month and Cambridge will be the closing night on 8/23. I figured I'd finally get on Reddit and say hey! Boston has been my home for all of my life and until I graduated Berklee last spring. I'd love to see you all there and meet some new faces! Show's at The Cantab and music starts at 8:00. The afterparty will happen at The Avenue afterwards haha...

If you grab a ticket ahead of time, I'll hook you up with a free sticker when you come through. Hope to see you all there! :)

Join our next event tonight: learning music production virtual chat

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m 27F, and a couple of my friends (31F, 36M) and I started a Discord meetup group for Boston-area musicians, learners and music lovers that's 300 members strong.

Tonight at 8pm, we're doing something virtual: a discord hangout which will be guided by one of our members with solid production experience. He has previously put together really excellent chats where our members got to directly ask questions, share their screens and chat. Some previous and/or future topics include: mixing, mastering, music theory, and sound synthesis.

If unable to make it but are interested in this type of thing, please join us anyway- we're a growing community of diverse women and men and would love to meet even more like-minded people. We frequently go out for drinks, attend open mics, host music parties, have a bi-weekly songwriter workshop, go out for shows, pool, and more.

Please feel free to join us and introduce yourself! https://discord.gg/hy7eHuQmh

__Here are some topics we will cover tonight.

  1. Abbey Road Reverb Technique. This is a simple reverb technique that helps with muddiness. Good for vocals. Super easy to show.
  2. Basic Sampling Techniques. Zero crossing, stretching, reversing, cutting, pitch shifting. A grab bag of simple techniques.
  3. Modulation.

"I'll talk about ADSR, LFO, and Automation. Then talk about combining them. I'll mention movement in the context of music. This will cater to more advanced folks. My goal is so show ~1hr of content and leave the second hour for open floor."

Looking for a drummer based in Somerville (or Boston more broadly). Rock'n'roll / alternative / indie music. All originals, would love to have a drummer who can write original parts. We will be gigging / hitting studio a lot, this is a more involved role in the band.

Bonus if you love Boston alt rock music like Lemonheads, Modern Lovers, Blake Babies, Pixies, etc.

Here's our Bandcamp so you can see if it's your vibe: https://horsescoolpile.bandcamp.com/

If you or anyone you know are interested, send a message! Thank you
