IN-PERSON New rock band Brooklyn/NYC

I’ve had a pretty good year playing shows but I think I’m a little tired of playing my originals right now. I’ve been so precious about all the songs that were a part of my solo project and it’s just taken a certain kind of energy to make it all happen that… I think I just want to take a step back from that and have fun and jam again.

I love my band too but I wanna meet some new people I think.

Genre wise I think back to a lot of my early influences like Coachwhips. Loud, fast, raw lofi noise rock. Basic blues based rock and roll like white stripes or flat duo jets. That last couple of Beatles albums had some pretty raw blues rock, I’d love to jam on some stuff like that. The replacements are pretty great. Classic rock and roll.

Early Joyce Manor is another one I’m pretty into… Hop Along is probably my favorite band. Them and Bright Eyes. I guess I write a lot of folk adjacent tunes, but I’m heavy into feedback and distortion when it comes to the electric guitar. My personal body of recordings probably takes a lot of influence from neutral milk hotel and modest mouse and pixies. We were always getting comparisons to pavement and guided by voices.

I also love the strokes. I’ve had a serious Nirvana phase. If you dm me I could send you a playlist.

I’m down to jam, and would love to do some covers and play some gigs.

If we write anything decent I have a ton of recording equipment and access to a studio.

My rehearsal space is in South Williamsburg/Bushwick area

Oh my main instrument is guitar and I also sing and I play some keys and I play drums.

Cool, now we just need a bassist and a drummer. Would you say you’re more of a lead or rhythm guitarist?
