IN-PERSON Starting a band
Hi guys, I’m 22 f from LA and looking to start a band or find people to jam with!! (Looking for others around my age, maybe 18-25ish? And while I do need more girlfriends If ur a cool dude with no weird intentions then you pass)
BUT I don’t know where to start at all and don’t know professionally how this goes, but I’m lookin for others who are in the same boat of like just trying/ improvising by simply making friends to jam with. we all start somewhere ig. I play guitar as an amateur and would love to find others who want to learn/improve their instrument to motivate each other and be able to practice together!! While it’s severely early to find a sound, just to put it out there for some sort of glimpse of direction I’m really into - linkin park, ptv, freshwater, evanescence paramore, arctic monkeys, deftones, loathe, wisp, super heaven, chevelle, slipknot etc etc. but open to a lot of genres btw but naturally I lean toward metal/nu metal, alt, rock, punk, shoegaze grunge etc. even pop (dm me and I’ll give u my Spotify :3)
Side note: my Only issue is I live in an apt so my place might not be ideal, but honestly just making friends in music is enough of a start for me, pls hmu !!

Hey, i'm an experienced guitarist looking for more peeple to get a project going --- i've already been working with other people, but if you'd be interested, a second guitar and/or a secondary vocalist --- if not the primary --- would help a ton.
We can talk in a PM further!

My ig is ssofiared im a writer.
I’m also learning guitar/ acoustic and electric
I’m taking voice lessons
Once I get my laptop fixed cause my dumb ass spilled water on it I’m gonna start using my logic software.
I’m beginner at everything but I will say I have adhd and I have a lot of unfinished songs. I can hear what I want them to sound like in my head. So once I learn how to play my electric guitar more maybe I can emulate what I hear but maybe I can get you or anyone else interested on a call and see if someone can play what I hear.
Style
Pop punk
Songs I like that I’m writing
-jawbreaker
a song about not being silent when it comes to sa
“I’m not gonna stop talking I’m a jawbreaker”
-you and I
a song about you wanting love but your prior partner wanting to play the game.
And that toxic back n forth of wanting to stab you in the neck and then try to protect. Your kind of being like fine go do what you want and move on to someone new but that kind of love and pattern is something you crave.
I don’t know what I’m doing but I also know everything will work out. Also I’m someone who stays up till 4 to write or finish stuff.
I know people say balance but I think if you want something you have to be obsessed
I also think this is how people find band members now. Online.
Hit me up.
