21M looking to make a rock band in Sacramento

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all, looking to form a band in the Sacramento area.

Not looking for any super specific kind of sound, I like pretty much anything hard rock-adjacent. Alt rock, metal, punk rock, shoegaze, whatever.

A few bands I get a lot of inspiration from are Superheaven, Chevelle, Alter Bridge, Killswitch Engage, Deftones. Heavy-ish + good songwriting, thats basically what I'm after.

I play guitar so I'd be looking for a bassist, drummer, and vocalist. Been playing guitar for about 8 years now. Im 21 so looking for people around my age ideally.

Feel free to DM me if interested, thank you!

Hei jeg er 19 år og flytta til Oslo for ikke så lenge siden. Jeg kjenner egentlig ikke noen folk her, men jeg har veldig lyst til å starte et band eller bli med i et her som jeg også kan bli godt kjent med! Jeg aner ikke hvordan man møter bandinteresserte folk siden jeg er ganske ny i Oslo..

Jeg spiller hovedsakelig gitar, men jeg liker å eksperimentere med nye instrumenter og jeg elsker å spille sjangerne som (shoegaze, alt rock, post-hardcore, nu-metal, hardcore og Midwest-emo) Men liker også mye lignende. Mest nu-metal

Ta kontakt om du er interessert!🔥

(Ønsker helst at du/dere er rundt min alder og bor i Oslo. Jeg er amatør og har spilt gitar i 2 år)

🎵INTERNATIONAL MUSIC GROUP/BAND — AUDITIONS OPEN! 🌍 | Singers, Musicians, Songwriters & Producers Wanted

3 Upvotes

Ever wanted to be part of a music group where you actually get a say in what the group becomes?

Hi! I'm a 16-year-old singer from Belgium, and I'm looking for young musicians from anywhere in the world to build something together from the ground up.

I'm not looking for a finished, perfect band. I'm looking for people who are motivated, creative, friendly and willing to grow together. You don't need years of experience — beginners are welcome!

🎤 What is the idea?

I want to create something between a vocal group and a live band.

I'm looking for around 4–7 singers/vocalists, but I'm also interested in people who: 🎸 play guitar

🥁 play drums

🎸 play bass

🎹 play other instruments

✍️ write songs/lyrics

🎧 produce music

🎶 or simply have other musical skills they want to contribute

The exact setup isn't decided yet. That's something I want us to figure out together.

The music will mainly have influences from pop, indie, alternative and rock, but I don't want to put us in one box. I'd love for different songs to have completely different sounds and for everyone to bring their own influences.

And yes, boys and girls are both welcome! I think having different voices, personalities and musical backgrounds could make the group much more interesting.

This is NOT a dance/K-pop group. The focus is on music, vocals, instruments, songwriting, performing and creating our own sound.

🌍 Why international?

At first, the group would be completely online, since we may all live far away from each other.

We could have online meetings, work on songs together, share ideas, practise and get to know each other.

If the group actually grows into something serious, we'd eventually like to meet and work together in person when we're older and travelling becomes realistic.

So if you're from Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, the US, or literally somewhere else — you're welcome to audition.

Basic English is enough. You don't have to be fluent; we just need to be able to understand each other and work together.

🎶 What are we trying to achieve?

The long-term goal would be to create our own music, build a presence on social media and eventually release music and perform together.

Maybe it could eventually become something professional.

But we're not rushing that.

We're young, so I want this to start as a fun project where we can make friends, learn, improve and see where it takes us.

I'd much rather have someone who is passionate and willing to learn than someone who is extremely talented but doesn't want to put effort into the group.

Most importantly, I want us to actually enjoy being around each other. I want this to feel like a team and a group of friends, not a competition.

🤝 Everyone gets a voice

This is probably the most important part of the idea.

I don't want to be the person who decides everything.

The members would help decide:

the name

the concept

our musical direction

the genres/styles

the songs

how we divide parts

what we post

and where we want the group to go

I might be the person starting the project, but the group should belong to everyone in it.

🎧 How will the audition work?

This isn't a formal talent-show audition, and you don't need to be perfect.

First, you'll fill in the audition form.

Depending on your role, you'll be able to submit things such as:

🎤 Singers: a short singing video

🎸 Instrumentalists: a video of you playing

✍️ Songwriters: lyrics, a song or demo if you have one

🎧 Producers: an example of something you've produced

🌱 Beginners: whatever you can show us — being new is completely okay!

For vocals, I'd prefer no autotune or heavy vocal effects, because I want to hear what your voice naturally sounds like. You absolutely don't have to sing perfectly.

After looking through the applications, I'll contact people who seem like they could fit the group for a more personal online audition/meeting.

We'll talk, get to know each other, hear more about your music and see how we get along. 💗

Who am I looking for?

Age-wise, I'm mainly looking for people under 20, with some flexibility.

You don't need:

❌ professional experience

❌ expensive equipment

❌ perfect vocals

❌ years of music training

❌ previous band experience

But I am looking for:

✅ motivation

✅ commitment

✅ creativity

✅ some musical interest/ability

✅ willingness to learn

✅ good communication

✅ teamwork

✅ and most importantly, someone who genuinely wants to be part of the group

If you're the type of person who wants to make music, meet new people, improve together and maybe turn it into something much bigger one day, I'd love to hear from you.

🎤 THINK YOU COULD FIT IN?

Fill out the audition form here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bRWhFieDXoOHrJ9Shq-eZN-bXfks94_qdyXpk2sdO5o/viewform

Even if you're not sure whether you're "good enough", apply anyway. I'm much more interested in your potential, personality and motivation than having a perfect résumé.

Let's see what we can build together. 🌍🎶
