ABOUT

Hey, this profile was apparently wildly successful, since I'm now in two bands. I'm no longer actively looking to join more projects, but feel free to reach out and say hello.

-------------------------------------------

AVAILABLE: One Punk Rocker, Vintage, Gently Used

INCLUDES:
— Guitar playing! I can play in different styles, but punk rock is what I came from and what I always seem to come back to. Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, only guitar, don't care.
— Singing! Backup singing, harmony singing, yelling, whatever you need. I guess I'd sing lead if you really want. Or if you're all stocked up on singers, I'll just STFU and play.
— Writing! I'll bring riffs. I'll bring words. I'll bring whole songs. I'll listen to your songs and add ideas. Or if you're all good on the songwriting front, I'll just STFU and play.

REQUIRES:
— Rock and Roll! While I come from punk rock, I'm musically literate and fairly versatile, and anything I can get to from standard tuning or close to it is fair game. Speedy stuff, mid-tempo stuff, the occasional sludgy change-up, it's all good. Shouted and melodic vocals are both fine, but "all screaming, all the time" is tedious. Influences should include: all the good punk rock bands and many of the sh*tty ones. Also I like Motorhead, The Pixies, and Clutch.
— Serious, Reliable Musicians Who Act Like Professionals! No, not really. In fact, please don't be too serious.

FINE PRINT, DISCLAIMERS:
— I'm in my 40s. I don't care how old you are, but if you care how old I am, you should probably know that right off the bat.

CALL TO ACTION:
— If you've made it this far and you think I might be a good fit to join your band or start a new one with you, please feel free to message me. (Hell, feel free to message me even if you don't want me in your band.) My name is Ben Duffy and I'm pretty easy to find on the usual social media platforms.
