ABOUT

I'm into punk, ska, 90s style alternative rock, folk punk/anarcho-folk, some industrial and some metal. I'm looking for a band that wants to have fun, isn't afraid to get political but at the same time isn't afraid to write fun songs as well. I am more concerned with getting a message across rather than trying to make it "big". I am also married so I'm not looking to hook up or anything like that so let's keep it professionally friendly.
My last band was called Free Beer. We were not a serious project. We played one gig and sold out the small venue because of our name causing confusion. I sang mostly punk drinking song covers but we did have original music as well. My first band was in the early 2000s, I sang and did screams/growls. That band was called friction and we were mostly a Kittie cover band. Find me on IG melstraps_saves_the_day if you wanna jam or start a project or see pictures of my dogs (lol) or the book Melissa Dewey pic of me and my husband
My husband plays bass and is really good at recording music.
