2012-01-14T22:12:12-05:00

I am looking for someone who can play really well is creative but is either, not a songwriter, or not a lyricist. (I'm pretty adept at coming up with words for songs)
The plan is for me to provide demos and have you turn them into a finished product with amazing playing and arrangements.
I have a number of songs and videos that I've recorded with bands but I'm looking for someone to partner with. (I've also had recent radio pay in the Toronto area) I have a deal with a company that sells to television shows and movies and I need to created studio quality tracks to submit. (The more you submit, the better your chances of landing a tune or two) I have a singers, unless you can sing really well.
Basically, you have to be adept at, not only music, but computers. And be a self starter.
We can work out a split for the proceeds.
I have tracks and videos of my music I can send you, should you be interested. It's mostly in the rock and ballad genres.

Drop me a line, with a sample of your work, and let's start getting some tracks together.

-Fizzy Matrix on string machine-AGE- 16 amd a fresh

We have been searching for months and months and we have found no one who tastes right to us. we need someone full of flavor and someone that isnt afraid to let loose and get crazy, cause at the end of the day what do we want ? to have fun and get paid for doing that. which is very possible, we have already won a competition back in the summer of the Double ONE. so please go email us or call and set up a F-ing audition please it would mean A F-ing llot.

20 Year Old Bassist Looking To Start Heavy Band (Brampton)

2011-12-27T12:29:38-05:00

I'm a 20 year old bassist from Brampton looking to form a heavy, noisy, danceable band. I've have been playing bass for around 3-4 years and would like to start something different from what I've done before. Some of my favourite bands are Protest The Hero, mclusky, Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Refused, Bear Vs. Shark, and Death From Above 1979. If you haven't heard of any of the bands I've mentioned, please look some of them up and give them a listen before you e-mail me. I am NOT interested in any sort of hard rock or classic rock band so please don't e-mail me if that's your sound. I also am looking for people who are in or around Brampton as I've tried jamming with people in Toronto and it's very difficult to make it down there for regular jams. I'm looking for people who want to do something serious and not something as just a hobby. I'm a pretty chill guy and I hope to hear from some people who think this might be something they'd enjoy being a part of.
