About The Job

is looking to fill this vacancy 20/08/08

We are a song writing team looking for musicians, producers and/ or songwriters to collaborate with on a 4 or 5 track E.P. which will be presented to the head of A.R. at Polydor Records at a showcase on the 24th of september. So we are in a bit of a hurry! At present we are simply bass and vocals which is obviously quite restrictive. Right now we are relatively open minded as to how the finished product will sound BUT here are some guidelines to read before you get in touch.

We are looking for a guitarist and drummer to join the band as well as someone who can play loops and samples- but this ad is primarily for people who simply wish to collaborate in general.

We enjoy bands such as Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Radiohead, System of a Down, Rammstein, marilyn manson etc. Not that we are trying to sound exactly like any of them but I thought this information would be useful all the same. These bands tend to have certain things in common however. They are all quite eclectic, very musical and melodic- heavy by commercial music's standards yet still very commercial in their own alternative right.

I would describe the sound we want to create as commercial alternative. Not cheesy pop, rnb, emo or indie but not heavy metal/ white noise either. We envisage a slightly industrial sound (Nine Inch Nails/ Rammstein) but with beautiful melodies (Radiohead/ System of a down), interesting instrumentation (Muse/ Tool) with a decadent, theatrical edge (Marilyn manson). We just want to make songs we think sound awesome- and hopefully enough people will agree that we make money!

Instrumentation can be anything from drums, bass, guitar to full orchestra and we are open to using a mixture of 'real' and electronic sounds.

Our lyrics often have a dark, often sexual twist to them

We enjoy music that has a dramatic/ theatrical feel to them

Despite saying all this we are still open to new ideas!

Please get in touch soon.
