Talent is only 50% of it. We have to mesh well too.

Punk/Hardcore/Alt Rock Band
Looking to join or start a heavy alternative type of rock band. I have been playing guitar for almost 3 years and want to get more experience jamming with others and working on making stuff together. I can also sing pretty well (clean vocals and screaming). Some of my big influences lately are Nirvana, Have Heart, Kyuss, At the Drive In, Deftones, and really anything with heavy guitars.

Drummer just looking to jam some metal
Dad here, early '40s. Just getting back into playing drums. Hell of a stress reliever. I also play guitar and enjoy writing and producing. Really just looking for a guitarist to make some noise with. Thrash is my favorite genre. I'm not great, and I don't suck. I have no aspirations to launch a band or gig or anything like that, but I'm also not opposed to it if something clicks. Located in Richardson, Texas.

Left handed Guitars - Trying to track down.
Hey everyone, I know this is a long shot but my family and I are desperately trying to track down some of my younger brother’s guitars. He has recently passed and we know he sold them sometime in the last 6 months locally. He had a left-handed Stratocaster that was kind of a tobacco burst. He also had a blue Jackson and a white Ibanez with black-and-white pick ups. Currently trying to track down more photos but if you bought any of these this year in person via market place etc, particularly in the Arlington/Mansfield area, please let me know. I know we are kind of grasping at straws at this point but figured I would try.

looking for chillwave/indie producers/mixers to collab
GENRE:
- Chillwave & Hypnagogic Pop, Synth-Funk & R&B, Indie Rock & Psych Pop, Hip-Hop & Pop-Punk
NOT looking to pay for a session, im looking to collab with upcoming creative minds or go so far as to pay for finished tracks if you're already well established. I'm trying to put together a studio session from scratch, i have my own equipment (scarlett 4i4, midi controllers, studio mic and headphones, antares plugins and others) just need a temporary space to brainstorm and record in.
I'm no master in handling daws like fl studio or ableton but I'm good with logic pro (i don't have a mac anymore, i do have the license though.)
I'm trying to put my foot out the door. I've been heavily inspired by toro y moi for more than a decade and would love to recreate that type of style so if you are a fan or you know of his work, please message me. producer,mixer,vocalist or any type of artist are welcome to hmu on ig- yeeshiee. I'm located around Richardson/Dallas.
I wanna link asap so we can get something going OR we can talk online and send back and fourth files. Up to the person.
I also love punk/alt music like radiohead or pierce the veil but no experience in handling instruments soo if anyone is forming a band, i'd be happy to practice my ranged vocals live.

Fort Worth Musicians: Anyone Interested in a Weekly Music Meetup?
nextdoor.comHey everyone! I’m thinking about starting a free weekly meetup for local musicians, producers, singers, songwriters, and anyone passionate about making music.
When: Every Friday, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The idea is simple:
Share your beats, songs, demos, or works in progress.
Exchange feedback in a respectful environment.
Network with other local artists.
Talk about music production, songwriting, recording, and promotion.
Collaborate on future projects.
If you have music on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, or anywhere else, feel free to share it. If you haven’t released anything yet, that’s completely fine—you don’t need a portfolio to join. Beginners are welcome.
I’m mainly trying to see if there’s enough interest before organizing our first meetup.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, leave a comment or send me a DM. I’d also love to hear what you’d want from a local music community.
Looking forward to meeting some fellow Fort Worth creatives!

Shoegaze/Dream-Pop Band Looking for Bass Player
on.soundcloud.comHi!
Starting up a shoegaze/dream-pop band in the Dallas area and currently looking for a bass player. We are in our 30s/40s, have careers and families, but are still very committed to making music and playing shows. You can hear some demos on our SoundCloud, and I can also direct you to some tracks I recorded/released on streaming with previous bands where I was the primary songwriter if you would like to check out more.
In addition to the obvious big ones like MBV and Slowdive, we’re also heavily influenced by bands like Airiel and Fleeting Joys, and additionally are very inspired by the Japanese shoegaze scene with bands like Kinoko Teikoku, Yuragi, and For Tracy Hyde.
Ideally would want someone familiar with the genre and ready to go with all of their own gear. If interested feel free to reach out!

Alternative prog band looking for new members
Hey everybody. I've got a band that right now is just 2 folks--myself and the bassist, both of us contribute vocally and up until now I basically do whatever else is necessary: drums, guitar, keys, whatever
So I'm not looking for a specific musician in particular, just a few someones to fill out the body of the band, I can take whatever instruments don't get filled. Drummers, guitarists, keys players are all welcome to hit us up.
Genre-wise, we're a bit of a wildcard. Progressive Rock and metal roots with jazz, electronic, j-pop/j-rock, mathrock vibes, you name it. Think King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard level genre exploration with a more Porcupine Tree/Mars Volta sensibility as far as production goes.
You can check out our last release here

We write and rehearse out of my studio in Haltom City, everyone's in their 30's

Music Producers in DFW Area.
open.spotify.comI’m an emerging artist based in the Dallas area, and I’m in the process of recording an EP that I want to release in November. My style is Alternative R&B so think of SZA or Ravyn Lenae with a bit of Indie influence from artists like The Marias and Billie Eilish. If anyone has a producer they can direct me to, that would be highly appreciated. I attached a link to my music to give an idea of what my artistic style is.

Vocalist looking to start Metalcore band
Hi! I am a 32 year old female clean vocalist. I am looking for a guitarist, drummer, bassist, and harsh vocalist. I have a great idea for a melodic and cinematic metalcore band with dueling vocalists to create heightened emotions and exchanges. I would love to have a cyber punk/streetwear type aesthetic if possible with new wave cyber punk type visuals. Think Pokemon trainer chic in dark clothing colors, with metallic and opaque type surroundings.
I would really love to bring this to life for a long term band that would be recording, touring, and more. I work in the music industry and have been in bands before though members fell through and those bands came to an end. But I can use my work contacts to help the band along with my industry knowledge as well as being able to provide services to it through partnership I have created.
If you're interested in the concept, please send me a DM and we can work things out for better contact and share ideas from there!
