Bassist, guitarist, songwriter, producer ISO additional guitar, vocals, drums for a project that is already started, but is early on - see links for sample of styles.

Looking for a co-writer for a new alternative or indie rock project. I have enough songs or starts of my own to progress toward an album in two different styles, but need a lead guitar, vocalist, and pro engineer to take it to the next level. Multi instrumentalists are a huge plus.

Background: I’m an experienced bassist, rhythm guitarist, some vocals, simpler lead guitar with a recording / practice studio and all instruments at hand, mixing skills and loads of song ideas. I’m looking for consistency and to set real writing and recording goals- I’m hoping 3-4 hours per week if schedules can work out.

Style A) Dreamy guitar alt rock from 80s and 90s. Might be played on the radio station 103.1 The Wave. Guitarists think reverb, chorus, picking jangly leads, and sometimes distortion to add dynamics. Inspired by bands like Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cure, Ride, The Church, the rocking side of New Order, Chameleons, The Verve, The Stone Roses, Morrissey, Adorable. Newer bands like Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, DIIV, Film School, Lauder, Castlebeat, The High, Pastel, Andy Bell, The Haunted Youth, Interpol

Style B) Broody Gritty Space rock from 90s and 2000s. More toward a rock station but a bit more on the alt and garage side. More distorted power chords, and less reverb, not as many picking leads. Fuzzy bass. Inspired by bands like BRMC, Lowline, Catherine Wheel, early Oasis, Ride, JAMC, Darker My Love, Alice In Chains, The Vines. Smashing Pumpkins, Incubus. Newer bands like Ode to Space Hassle, Hundredth
