Hey guys,
I'm looking to form an experimental rock and roll band.
By that I mean rock and roll sensibilities of bands like Royal Blood and Nirvana. But also incorporating synthesiser sounds, techno beats, symphonic overtures, etc, to have a sound that would not be out of place on a regular weekday at a lounge. By that I mean music that won't scare people off and will get us a repeat invite.
Basically easy listening muzak. But not so easy listening that it would suit going up in an elevator!
Here's an example of just some noodling around with synth sounds...

And for the rock side of things, here's a cover of Ten Tonne Skeleton by Royal Blood.

Trying to do the pitch shift with a pedal was a mistake, it would have made more sense to automate it like the band does. It was a one shot-one take recording, so excuse the errors. I'm pretty good with effects, so we can definitely delve into shoegaze and post-rock territory as well with big ambient sounds.
And then we blend those synth kinds of sounds with rock and roll music to try and create something entirely different.
I've been playing guitar for 15 yearsand here's an example of my singing!

Of course, would not sing like that for this band, but that's my other project in which I sing and play guitar. For this band, would try for softer melodies.
If the idea intrigues you, you can reach me at Eight 1 3 two three 6 six nine.
