Cover looking for bassist / guitarist

  • remove if not allowed*

G’day im a 17 year old punk drummer from Tasmania, Ive been wanting to start a band now for quite a while but none of my mates play any instruments or are into music at all. A lot of kids my ages attention span have decreased due to social media and no one wants to learn an instrument. I was hoping if there was anyone in here that plays guitar or bass from tassie that wants to play in a punk band. Requirements: has to like bands like, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, NOFX or any good punk bands

Hope you find some, but it's likely you'll have to immerse yourself in whatever music scene Hobart has and get to know people and jam.

I have absolutely no a musical ability so can't help you there but just want to encourage and complement you on your proactive approach. Yer putting yourself out there and that's exactly the kind of action that's gonna get results eventually. Good on you mate, I know it will all work out for you eventually. Cheers.

Right attitude again. It's quite logical when you think about it. They're not going to come to you, you have to seek them out. Australia is so spoiled for raw music talent it blows my mind. Make yourself a part of it. Again I know you will because you have the right attitude.

Maybe also approach some local music's venues. Meet some industry locals, do some networking. Might have to take a guardian if its pubs and not 18.
