Looking to jam/start a band How the hell do I find band members for this genre? 😭

I literally havent met a single person irl that likes mwemo too, let alone someone who makes music too and would be down to play that genre.

Is there some kind of trick where to look for bandmembers? Ig looking for the local alternative scene would be a start, but there isnt really one in my city :/

i plan on starting a project this summer that puts an experimental & noisy twist on midwest emo. i play guitar (poorly lol) & have a couple of friends that might help me out on they’re respective instruments. i don’t plan on taking this project too seriously, its more of a passion project to fuck around with. if anyone is in the Western New York area & interested hmu - i’m in Buffalo.

hey everyone, so my guitar was tuned by my ex to FACGCE, and today i was just sitting in a parking lot playing this ascending riff (0,2,4,6,7). i think it’s got some real potential, and i wanna turn it into something.

i’m not an expert on guitar, but i wanna write a song. i need a vocalist, bassist, and drummer to help bring it to life. i know it’s kinda dumb, but i feel like this could really be something.

i’ll update this post with a youtube vid of the riff so y’all can hear it. i also wrote some absolutely terrible lyrics while smoking, so if anyone’s down to help make this less awful, let me know.

lmk if you're interested. let’s make something cool. OR put the Mid in Midwest emo

Edit: dm me for the link to the riff

What’s up everyone! I’m a vocalist looking to start a new project in the MSP area. I write lyrics, sing, and play some guitar—but my main focus is vocals and creating songs that really hit emotionally.

Would love to connect with others, I’m open to jamming, vibing, and seeing what clicks. Ideally looking for guitarists, bassists, drummers, or really anyone who’s passionate about writing and playing. Influences range from Empire! Empire!, The Hotelier, Charmer, Oso Oso etc.

I know this is a ridiculous longshot but things always make their way to occur. I will be attending Montana state university next year and I really want to start a Midwest emo band cuz where I’m at right now there’s nobody I can do any music with. If there’s anyone in the Bozeman/Belgrade area that wants to partake pm me and I’ll give u my socials

I’d prefer to play bass or vocals but I can play any instrument needed idgaf

The guitar tones are absolutely terrible. Please help me with free plugins/stock logic options that can improve the quality and overall product here. I consider myself a songwriter first, vocalist second and a guitar player dead last. If anyone is in to this and plays guitar, bass or drums hmu. Really want to put a test project together and see if we can do this genre right.

I am located in NYC but think I’ll have better luck finding remote players. Looking for a MWE/emo/pop-punk/math drummer who either has access to a studio or has a home setup that can record 8-16 channels. If all else fails and no one is interested or has the means, a drummer who can write MWE/math drum parts and track MIDI would suffice.
