Haven't played in a band in close to 4 years now, getting fed up of recording bands, thought it would be fun to see if I could get something going.
I've never successfully started a band, always just joined other bands, and it's always been more metal stuff, so with my recent (read last 1.5-2 years) foray into hardcore and pretty much abandoning the metal stuff I've always loved, I thought maybe I could try and get something like this going for fun. Simple songs, fun riffs, just have a good time with it, instead of spending hours and hours calculating the perfect technical death metal song like I used to do in my youth. Fuck that I just want to play power chords and headbang!
Anyways, by random chance it turns out the guitarist in a band I'm working with has a fantastic voice for this stuff and he's never really done any vocals before, so I'm starting to get excited now that it's more than just me riffing in my basement now and then. I have my pick of the litter as far as guitarists/bassists goes in the area because everyone seems to like me and be stoked on the idea of playing with me, but finding a singer and drummer was going to be tougher, especially a drummer.
So anyways this is what we laid down today just for shits and giggles, with 2 other tracks in the works...
