Basically we've decided to go all out on this new project and require reliable, commited, talented musicians to join in.

What were looking for :
1- Versitile drummer. Please have a professional kit, style and ability. Double kick is required, as is the skill to use it and blow people away.

2- Rythm/Lead Guitarist. Please own professional tour worthy gear (combo amp is not tour worthy), have the ability to write and learn riffs and transitions, and bring some ideas and style to the table.

3- Bass Player. Please own professional tour worthy gear (combo amp is not tour worthy), have the ability to write and learn riffs and transitions, and bring some ideas and style to the table.

Note worthy to all positions :
- be 18-29 age wise
- No egos please
- Smart
- Employed
- Reliable
- No drug fags
- Drama = fail
- Have style. Pantara shirts and no surrender shoes just wont cut it in the scene today.
- Chill dude (or gal) who will be a blast to hang with outside of band stuff as well
- Height and Weight proportionate, image is important.

We (1) Lead Guitarist and (1) Lead Vocalist both have years of show and recording experience. We will not disapoint.

Our influences include - Our Last Night / The Devil Wears Prada / Before Their Eyes / A Day To Remember / August Burns Red / Haste The Day / Of Mice And Men / Attack Attack

Please Email the account of my email mattyfinch@gmail.com with questions or inquires. Thanks.

Well, I guess I should probably go out and buy some cardigans and a synthesizer and try out.

The "no egos" part is pretty funny. Irony is the best.

I also find it unreal that they would write "No egos" in their add.

Ohhhhh so when they say "years of show and recording experience" what they mean is "years of being in bands that everyone hated and played 1 or 2 shows a year".

oh my god. bathing in sanity does not count as any kinf of experience except "bad"
i honestly hope these guys start a band, and give it all up to "make it big" and fail and end up being 40 year old "musicians" playing nickelback covers for rent money. these fucks are absolutely EVERYTHING i hate about the type of music they play. the fact that they use the word hardcore is upsetting.

EDIT: i guess they didnt say hardcore. still. hope their tight pants contsrict them to death.

Cause double kick is definitely what boggles the mind and blows people away.
