I recently got a friend to help me start a Deathcore band, and well it isn’t the most easiest thing to do. after the initial.. “I want to make a band, for fun.” part, we decided, well if we’re gonna play anything we need to find more people. We found a drummer, then a 2nd guitarist, and at last bassist. We had our first “practice” not too long ago, although it was more of a hang out session if anything. We talked about music, songs we would like to play, what kind of music we are gonna play, band names, suggestions, how bad the first practice sucked, technical problems, the works. After the first practice, well, I can’t say much.. but we are looking to change our lineup already, but mind me, this is not an easy task. For one, everyone religiously listens to reggae around where I live, so finding someone that plays guitar, and doesn’t play reggae is already tough. Then we need to find someone with a metal approriate guitar.. but unfortunately everyone and thier grandparents have stratocasters, not very metal. THEN we have to cross our fingers that they don’t only play blues/rock/alternative/not metal.. and that usually kills us. I’ve contacted local bands about my problem, but no reply.. wasn’t expecting much anyway. Our band as of now has a screamer (me), guitar, bass, and drummer.
I remember that day I wanted to just have fun, but now we’re (the lead guitarist and me) getting serious into this, to the point where we want to gig and *crosses fingers* get signed. I’ve already laid out some lyrics, but just gotta start meeting up with everyone and trying to make some shit happen. My friend and I are all thinking about how crazy it would be to play at huge tours and gig and be famous.. Hell I would love, and I’m sure everyone would. This is my first blog in awhile so TTFN!
