We are four former members (bass, guitar x2, vocals) of the punk band Fifty Fifty and are looking for a drummer to join our recently formed (mostly) 90's skate punk cover band.
We are heavily influenced by nineties Fat Wreck and Epitaph type bands. Our plan is to learn 25 songs fairly quickly, which should give us the ability to change up our sets and not play the same songs every show. We also might add in some originals at some point, but for now are starting with all covers. We're open to some older and newer punk, and also open to some ska. We just recorded a rough, live demo of one song which you can listen to here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApkgeNJQ-hVWnKAFPKsjj8l8gNtg-A?e=EhtlGw
We need someone that is technically proficient, has good timing, and can comfortably switch between different tempos and beats. The ideal candidate is already somewhat to very familiar with most of the songs, or is able to learn new songs on their own and come to practice ready to play. We plan to play songs as fast as 220bpm eventually, but will need to work our way up to doing that speed accurately and tight.
We're all in our mid-40's with careers and families, and are mostly doing this for fun. We would like to play occasional shows, and record some music. We try to do weekly band practices (currently every Saturday morning). We have a practice space at one of our houses in Kenmore.
We have a large list of potential songs to cover already, but here's the first 25 (we've made it through 12 so far):
1 - Descendents - Hope
2 - Rancid - I Wanna Riot
3 - The Offspring - Bad Habit
4 - The Distillers - Sick Of It All
5 - Operation Ivy - Knowledge
6 - Bad Religion - Fuck Armageddon...This Is Hell
7 - Pennywise - Perfect People
8 - Nirvana - Territorial Pissings
9 - No Use For A Name - Fatal Flu
10 - Face To Face - Big Choice
11 - Propagandhi - Anti-Manifesto
12 - Lagwagon - Give It Back
13 - NOFX - Perfect Government
14 - Bad Religion - Inner Logic
15 - Rancid - Detroit
16 - Fugazi - Bed For The Scraping
17 - Operation Ivy - Here We Go Again
18 - Less Than Jake - Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts
19 - Green Day - 80
20 - Strung Out - In Harm's Way
21 - No Use For A Name - Hazardous to Yourself
22 - Snfu - Bobbitt
23 - Ten Foot Pole - My Wall
24 - Jawbreaker - Want
25 - Goldfinger - Here In Your Bedroom
We welcome any gender, race, orientation, age, etc. We just want to rock out. Let me know if you're interested.
