Does anyone want to start a punk band???

Or death metal or black metal or hardcore or grindcore or whatever.

I've been a metal/hardcore vocalist for nearly a decade, an ok loud rhythm guitarist for half of that, and a crappy punk drummer for about a year.

I'm a non-binary person in my 20s. I live 15 minutes from Lewiston and an hour from Portland. I have a car. DM me.

I'm twice your age, and I suck, but I like making loud noises and seems like we have similar worldviews. Live in Lisbon.

I play rhythm guitar (okish) bass guitar (barely) keyboards (okish) and I can hold a tune, too.

Drums are right-out for me. I can sing and play guitar at the same time but feet and hands can't do different things.

You should start a band that does punk covers of Beatles songs and call it, "Beat The Meatles"

Yes. It's been about 10 years since I've been in a band. But I was in various metal bands from ~2005-2012. Metal, metalcore, hardcore, punk.

I'm a drummer, have an ekit and an acoustic kit.

What do you use for an Ekit? Drums are the hardest and suckiest part of recording for me, since I'm not a drummer so I end up "programming" drums a layer at a time with a keyboard, and that shit feels hollow as hell (even though it SOUNDS nice, because I got a killer deal on Superior Drummer so my samples are top notch)

I always thought it would be cool to do something similar but with an ekit instead.

I have an old Roland tk-42. I replaced all the heads with Roland mesh heads and run it into mybandlab for basic stuff. I've never put a full song together, mostly just dicked around but it's a decent setup.

tagging you as "drummer" and there's literally nothing the cops can do to stop me

I'm not awful at throwing songs together. Just sayin.

I probably don't have enough free time to start anything right now, but if you get some black metal going and need a bass player I might be interested

I've got decent gear and can play bass and guitar pretty well. I also have some synths if you wanna get weirder. Do you have any demos anywhere?

Edit: I'm in the Portland area.

I’m less in your area (Ellsworth) but I’m a vocalist. I’m 22 and also nonbinary. I’m not trained to do like… metal voice and that kind of stuff, but I am classically trained. Unfortunately I’m currently out of practice and also undergoing masculinizing hrt so if I try and go too high my voice starts to crack. I’m also a mediocre banjo player if you’re ever looking for folk/bluegrass type vibes lol.

What kinda bands do you listen to?

Lots of noise rock like The Jesus Lizard, Shellac, and KEN Mode. Classic hardcore like Black Flag, Op Ivy, and Minor Threat. Modern hardcore/grind like Zulu, Drug Church, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Napalm Death. Weird metal like Meshuggah, Deftones, etc. Basically anything loud.
