Joe 'Dingo' Wright Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey there People, Im in a band named RockMelon. Were a punk rock band, but our set is varied with many elements of different genre's shining through. This is because across the 3 members, our influences vary dramatically, but we still get on and throw some music together. Im into loads of music, from nickelback to the red hot chillis, to soil, to virtuoso musicians like joe sat, steve vai and Mr Big. The lead singer and guitarist however are much more into the libertines and QUOTSA (queens of the stone age) and we are currently looking for a drummer. Were based in The Midlands Area. And the band has been going since 2006!!! The band consists of (currently) A guitarist, Me on something we call "lead bass" and the lead vocalist plays what we like to call "second bass" and as i said above we are looking for a drummer. The hole 2 bass thing came from me using loads of crazy effects and distortion wich left the music sounding bare so to compensate we added in the second bass to fill the void. Its not something we use all the time on every song, and its not a gimmick. Its just i like to sometimes almost play rhythm guitar on my bass or double up as another lead guitar almost, i have a 6 string bass in guitar tuning and light gauge strings which allows me to do this ya see. In short i suppose i just like to be different. Well back to the band ... Last year we recorded in london at The Animal Farm, and got some really good recordings, which are on our myspace. Im currently mastering them and were hoping to release them as singles in the coming year. Venues at which we have played include, The Leadmill, The Plug, West Street Live, Chesterfield Assembly Rooms and The Blast Festival. Heres the links to our stuff. www.myspace.com/theorckmelon www.rockmelon.co.uk [url="http://www.facebook.com/pages/RockMelon/49729491591?ref=ts"]http://www.facebook.com/pages/RockMelon/49729491591?ref=ts[/url] Please have a little look, and if you know a talented eager drummer, please pass our details on, Thanks for your time!!!

SuicideVeilBassist Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Ok..here goes.. 1. I'm in a band called Suicide Veil, we're a 5 piece metal band from Brighton (our current vocalist lives in Derby though). Our line-up is Sonic (vox), Stu (guitars), Jamie (guitars), PD (drums) and myself on bass. The lyric duties fall to myself and PD. As a band, we're influenced by Machine Head, Slayer, Lamb of God, Dream Theater, Opeth and Katatonia mainly, the lyrics are more in the vein of My Dying Bride. 2. We can be found online at [url="http://www.myspace.com/suicideveilband"]http://www.myspace.com/suicideveilband[/url] and [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/suicideveil"]http://www.reverbnation.com/suicideveil[/url] We do also have a Facebook page, just search the band name and hey presto Hope some of you like what you hear...the recordings are rough live recordings from rehearsals...so not spectacular quality, although 'Who Has Done This Thing' sounds quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtcat Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey all, I play in and run Crude Measure, a rock covers band based in Oxfordshire. We're about a year in now and we're getting pretty busy and we seem to be generating plenty of demand. We've never played a gig where we've not been rebooked by the venue and we now regularly have to turn gigs down. www.crudemeasure.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlucas Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='794358' date='Apr 2 2010, 02:28 PM']I'll go first…. I'm fairly new to the band given a recent 'restructure'. The band is called [color="#000000"][size=3][b]Aphemia[/b][/size][/color], consists of 5 members (Vocal/Guitar, Guitar, Drums, Synth, Bass) and we all reside around the Derby/Nottingham area, rehearsing in Derby. I would describe the music as Industrial/Synth driven Hard Rock. I guess it pays reference to lots of artists, but the thing that enticed me to join them was the fact that I didn't find it sounded too much like any one particular act. For anyone that thinks it might be their cup of tea, here's the Myspace - [b][size=3][url="http://www.myspace.com/myaphemia"]Aphemia[/url][/size][/b] Hope you all like it! Right, who's next…?[/quote] Sorry for backtracking the thread haha, but i was listening to this and i thought it was excellent, reminded me a lot of Disturbed mixed with the harsh effects and synths of Fear Factory - safe to say it's a damn good combination and definitely unlike any single band i've heard! Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was struggling to balance all the stuff I was doing and Aphemia was one of the bands that I had to let go. They are still playing together though last I checked and the stuff you hear on the Myspace is still played (most of it at least). They are very good at what they do.

I remember that the sound was fairly ropey and the PA not up to much, but I always figured that the problem was more the shape of the room (never play anywhere where the largest room dimension is the height). Since Dick Venom is as much about the visual performance as it is about the sound, we'll probably get away with turning up and rocking out! If you'd prefer to see us in more "comfortable" conditions we have gigs coming up in March and April at The Golden Fleece, The Rescue Rooms and The Social.

woodyratm Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Since i haven't thrown myself into the ring yet for this... My band is called Foxdie - named after the virus from Metal Gear Solid (we do get geekier...seriously). We have been classed as, I quote, Electro Nerd Metal. Which sort of stuck hah! We are a 3 Piece from Aberdeen, Scotland and like being super synthy on recordings then adding some total insanity live (with live bass, guitar and drums...and keytar.) Influence wise is weird as hell... Rage against the machine (Synths?!?!), Muse, Pendulum, And anything dancey or dubsteppy. Recently got compared to Rage against the machine and pendulum. Which i was totally happy with since thats the sound that I personally was aiming for! Result! Live is a very fun thing. 3 people - about 4 synths, 1 guitar, bass, drums, and keytar. Also with live vocoders. We have no current gigs lined up - though i suspect May/June - we are currently planning a video which we will film and edit ourselves. and also writing some new stuff (which is currently sounding LOW... 5 string anyone? ) Link is [url="http://www.facebook.com/foxdieuk"]HERE[/url] - please take a listen, I don't imagine it will be to many peoples tastes to be honest, since it is so dance/trance. Why we keep getting put on the same lineup as metal bands, i'll never know. Davie Edited April 12, 2011 by woodyratm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
