Looking to form old school metal band revolving around Christ. I'm in Manchester (Akron), playing for more than 15yrs off and on. Generally rhythm with some lead skills and I used to do the vocals on heavier songs. I've played out with secular bands, but want to start an all original band. I've got rough drafts of about 6 songs. Email me (michael.dean@owenscorning.com)or call me on my cell(330-687-6257) and leave a message to get this thing rolling.

-- Visit my website to download a sample recording www.ebnmusic.com --

Housed in brushed aluminum with white oak side panels,
this handheld synth sports a classy, analog look.
Sputnik One is an AM synthesizer of unique design. It's two
voltage controlled oscillators modulate eachother's signal.
This interaction produces everything from VOX-like sounds
to the strange noises heard on old radio hardware. This
device is perfect for the video game sound or achieving
the electronic sound of the 40's and 50's. Sputnik One
operates in a tonal range extending from the low end of
human hearing into the ultrasonic range.

All units now include Sputlink to allow everyone with a
Sputnik One to control the mix. http://www.ebnmusic.com

The band's name is "Ike Reilly Assassination" and if you like Emo rock then this is for you. The IRA is a cool/woozy band that combines recklessness and unpredictability with pure confidence, lyrical candor and a greasy sexuality. I urge you to visit them at www.ikereilly.com. Their album "Sparkle in the Finish" hits stores Oct 12 and info for tour upcoming tour dates are available on the website.

My name's matt , I'm from the akron area rock/alt band Social Theory. We have been playing together for a little over a year, but are in desperate need of a dedicated bass player. We have went through 4 bassists in the past 6 months, all of which were either poor bass players, or not dedicated enough to practice twice a week. We are all 21, and we play mostly original material, with influences and covers including Silverchair, Incubus, RATM, Foo Fighters, STP. If you are interested please contact me at 330-283-5062 or reply on here and we can discuss this further. We have an upcoming show at the voodoo in august and would like to have the new bass player with us for that show.

Hey guys, me and a good friend of mine have been wanting to start a band for some time, but we can never come up with a drummer or singer. Were both 18 from cleveland ohio. Both play guitar, and ACTAULLY play, none of this drop D down half step, play with one finger, linkin park bullshit. My brother fills in on bass, we had lessons for about 5 years.

We will have demo's of what we want to do soon, as our recording computer isnt up yet. Other than that we have pleanty of recording stuff.

Influences are: Slayer, Nevermore, Evergrey, Blind Guardian, Metallica, Megadeath, Black sabbath, Symphony X, and many other classic rock bands.

Hope to hear from someone!

More and more people are moving away from corporate crud musix and getting wit da programm. Ther are numrous artists doing things the right way like beck did and Iggy Pop. I just ran across a guys site that reminds me of some of those old bands. very strong melodies and everything sounds kinda messy, but its really solid stuff at the same time... let me check the address..................... it's WWW.SQUEEMA.COM this guy is trippn... covers a lot of strange stuff. I like what he says too about media. He calls it folk punk or punk-rooted, someting like that, but it's very free sounding. Internet kcrw radio does a lot of amazing things with their play selection as well. I think the corporate goons will be flipping burgers in a few years.

The simple answer is practice, practice, practice! And above all have fun. You know that great feeling you get when you play together? Well imagine that feeling when you get begin to play great together! And when U start getting gigs.

My advice goes like this...;)

Dont have a gig until your realy ready for it, you may only regret and it may put you off.

If your gonna get paid you have to be of a certain ok standard and u dont want anyone drunk booing you!


Try to get in as many practices as you can, work around your free time. Even if two of you practice, its better than nothing!

Put a coule of songs onto a CD that you can pass around to the other members, off this CD, sont expect to be able to play all of them. You will whittle them down until you find some songs which just click.

Some complicated songs are sometimes the easiest and easy sounding songs are hard to pull off as they may seem to shallow sounding.

Pick the songs the *singer* can sing, not just songs you like. And finally...

Play to all your strengths, if two of you can sing - both sing! One sing, one do harmonies, then swap for the next song. If the guitarist cant realy play that song, either get them to learn it, or play a different songs. If some one else is better at playing that bit, swap instuments. Its your team, play to your strengths and help each other out.


Oh, and buy some decent equipment!

Tell me how u get on pls. Email at top: thelozenge@hotmail.com
