I’m a guitarist who would love to start a (mostly) instrumental post-metal band. Would need another guitarist, bass player and drummer, and a dedicated keyboardist would be cool. Influences include bands like ISIS, Year of No Light, Mouth of the Architect, Russian Circles, If These Trees Could Talk, Callisto, Neurosis, Pelican, YOB, Jesu, etc.
I’m more interested in pushing myself as a songwriter than writing stuff that’s stylistically pure, if that makes sense. I’m down to play shows regionally and record albums, but I’m 39 and have a good job so I’m not interested in giving everything up to go on tour like I did in my 20s.
I’ve got professional gear, and I’ve become a wellspring of ideas as I’ve approached 40. Hoping to stick to the North Shore area for practice. Not interested in hanging with alcoholics, drug addicts or MAGA.
