Late 20s musician in Astoria, NY looking for other musicians or an already formed band writing original music and playing shows in the emo/pop punk/hardcore genres.
Been writing songs and playing guitar/singing in bands for a little over 15 years. Highly comfortable on bass and drums as well.
I pivoted to working on the label side of the music industry about 8 years ago and looking to get back into writing and playing shows with a band or two.
