Jangly Indie Band Seeking Like-Minded Musicians

Looking for a vocalist, bassist, and drummer to form a band dedicated to the melodic, jangly sounds of '80s indie—think The Smiths, R.E.M., The Housemartins, Aztec Camera and Orange Juice, amongst others

The focus is on bright, intricate guitar work, melodic basslines, and tight, dynamic drumming—nothing too heavy, just pure shimmering indie energy. If you love chiming guitars, driving rhythms, and thoughtful, tuneful songs, this could be for you.

Seeking:

Vocalist – Strong presence, expressive delivery. Doesn’t need to sound exactly like Morrissey or Michael Stipe, just able to bring emotion and personality.

Bassist – Melodic and inventive, adding depth and movement to the songs rather than just holding down the root notes—think the flowing basslines of The Smiths and The Housemartins,

Drummer – Tight, dynamic, with a feel for groove over flash—steady, propulsive, and stylish rather than overpowering.

Rehearsals will be relaxed but focused, aiming to create a fresh, energetic take on this incredible era of indie music. Open to gigging once tight, possibly developing originals over time.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, get in touch!
