I was in punk/hardcore bands from 1987-1999 (so from age 11-23). I was always the shitty singer, but I would spaz out and do stagedives so that was pretty much what I relied on. I took 2 years of bass classes and also played drums for 2 years. I learned JUST enough guitar skill to write riffs , then hand them over to the real guitarists of bands. My first band was basically a Sex Pistols/ Circle Jerks cover band. That got played on local radio (my 6th grade girlfriend's sister was a DJ lol). Then I had a wannabe Cro-Mags/ Agnostic Front band that did not go anywhere, played a few shows. Drank a lot and did acid a lot though. My next band started off as a hardcore band and we played some gigs. But then it devolved into a Deftones style band (1994) and I did not want to rap/sing so I quit, and the band became (locally) semi-successful basically the day after. They changed the name after I quit too. The next band I was in was more ehh.. like Descendents/ Pennywise style but with Misfits style lyrics? Band imploded due to drug use from everyone in the band. Best moment was when we couldn't find our drummer because he was smoking crack outside. My last band was hardcore/grindcore.. it started with "Napalm Death is awesome". That band ended because: "I'm going away to school" + "I'm moving" + "New video game came out and it takes time to level up my guy". Seriously on the last one. So, at that moment I retired from bands. I just thought "Man, trying to get 3-4 other people on the same page sucks".
From 2008-2013 I wrote an imaginary album that I never recorded, which, musically, is a mix of old (pre-Crossover) DRI, GG Allin and the Mentors. I have about 25 songs written down and all of them are about how stupid scenes are. I never named the "band", but the album was "SS Death Squad", but the SS stands for "Scene Slaying", so yeah "Scene Slaying Death Squad". I have a rough sketch of the imaginary album cover, which is: Punk rockers being hung, thrash metal guys being shot by firing squad and a crucified skinhead being burnt at the stake. I tried to add a hipster being beaten with a case of PBR but it didn't really work. If I had time, I'd probably re-work all of these songs now. Oh I should mention, I did write guitar riffs and lyrics for all of these, but I just never recorded them. Probably would not be into them now.
Anywho... so me and my son started an imaginary (literal) garage band.
He has all sorts of computer programs and keyboards, so we may be able to just make songs on there. So it will probably be a fake punk band with all computer generated sounds because I'm too lazy to play instruments that I'm not even good at. Topics we have come up with song ideas so far:
-Minecrap (about Minecraft: "You think your house is Hacker or Pro, but its just noob") <- son idea
-Second Grade <- also son idea ("but my friends are cool and Kate is cool" in there)
-Man Wolfs (song about the Man Wolfs) <-- his idea
-Gas Prices (as high as your mom) <--my idea
-Mild Core <-- my idea (about being old)
-Road Rage (Driving While on the Phone) <-also mine
-Band name ideas: The Fuckos (wife not approved) , Timmy Tims & The Tim Tams, not really sold yet

I sang in a few different hardcore bands. Mostly screamo and powerviolence, but always loved it. Technically the last band I was in is still together just in hiatus for the last 6 years. But we all started talking again and want to record something, which would be a hoot.
I’ve joked about doing this same thing with my kid, who is clearly into similar shit. She wanted to tackle lyrics related to YouTubers she liked or true crime, and I wanted to write about existential dread and raising a kid who is probably disappointed in you. So the project imploded.
Potential band names for your project: dump truck, garbage boys, four squared, butt up, 44 mag crayon.

Note his sleeveless jean jacket in the photo. I have a Man Wolfs back patch that I will give him one day.
I made this for him, but its become just a wall hanger at this point because he doesn't want to scratch it

I was a singer in a teenage punk band called The Adults in the 90s with a demo tape called „recipe for skate“ as all band members were skaters. We then changed the drummer and went more into a NY hardcore direction à la Madball releasing another demo and playing a few gigs. That‘s when I was poached by a grindcore outfit who had a record deal on a sublabel of Nuclear Blast so of course I quit the old band which then fell apart. I only played a few gigs with the grindcore band then I got kicked out because the manager was a death metal dude who did not like my baggies and Fila shoes. ::)

I’ve been in several bands 97’ to 2011 on and off from punk crusty hardcore doom death grind and power violence, one universal thing I learned is do it yourself.
I just don’t get along well with other’s, from power dynamics to reliable members who flake out and almost everyone need’s a drummer.
I’d rather do it like Fenriz and Darkthrone, no touring no live shows just drop albums and stuff.

I wish

Hell yeah! Most fun thing in the world as I’d imagine most the homies in this thread would agree on.
Like most here, a history of punk/hardcore bands and even an ill advised deathcore band in high school.
Currently in a hardcore band now and band practice is honestly the highlight of my week.

I wish I had homies to practice with just Covid-19’s got my friends paranoid about kicking it.
I think I’d rather skate or make music by myself.

I been in some bands. I grew up idolizing my cousin Bones. He died in 86. Was the last drummer for the FUs and the first straw dogs drummer.
My aunt Judy his ma helped me chase the bass guitar and Boston hardcore. She bought me an rbx250 bass and i Started playing bass in 91.
Self taught.
I copied anthrax and discharge the exploited. Murphy's law. Filth. Ssd dys First band and demo in 93? Year before green day made pop punk popular to normal peoples.
PLC aka pre life crisis. Paula Zig zagloffski might have the only tape it's been said. I have no idea.
https://youtu.be/EBz7AAseUjg
Phase 2. People compare it to like dystopia mib etc.
I see it.
Wrote this with my best friend Brett Powers mid 90s. We was doing time in a horrendous new metal band when we introduced it to a set in 98. The juggalos didn't get it. Became an instrumental break in the set.
I recorded this with 4 different bands. Have videos of them no tape or anything.
https://youtu.be/6-ZAR-G-eEI
Both these are from 2016 session at rat city with Cameron Ashes on drums. Mixed and Mastered by Erik Struth of INTHESHIT at rat city.
https://youtu.be/ZUwzg92uWwQ
My first one person release. I had a torn ACL and smoked mad dust outside rat city went in freestyling no practice got this strange noise core thing.
It's actually very fast punk really. Idky people like it.
Brand new track.
Shawn Sarro bass
Ian Clark drums
Me guitar and vocals
It's not mixed or Mastered in this video. We got release and tour this year hopefully.
Supposed to be straight ahead raw punk.

Drugs and my inability to fuck with industry people got me no where in music. It was so worth it.
I'm Stoned and I don't wanna fix the post.

Maybe just call it "Fucko" in sign language hand font? Yo that's a good name. I can see the letter style when I close my eyes.
Or "bucko" triple underlined infest font.

Also me and my friend from high school who i was in a band with are trying to restart our music making again. I'm not a terribly talented guitarist but i can play rhythm well enough and i can sing so hopefully we're gonna get some stuff going soon. We've already recorded a couple rough tracks that we're gonna keep working on. Very spoon inspired stuff

In a band right now (post rock/metal thing) where I play bass and sing. Kinda wanna quit because our gig has been canceled for the third time in a row at local music bar because of Covid restrictions...Tired of rehearsing with no "release" on stage.
Also do an electronic music thingie with friends, over the internet mostly. And might start a second one soon.
My oldest son just started to fuck around on bass and guitar so who knows, maybe we'll do the family thing too!

I gotta good question. Does anyone here know what to do with the music? Say I wanna be in videos and movie soundtracks or whatever.
I have like 8 or 9 musicians who record here and we can do anything together for sure. Any style no problem.
What do I do with the music?
Other people care about getting paid eventually.
It would be nice to have deals with brands or whatever. Then I could keep buying more gear and keep building.
My dream is to rebuild what I blew off before.
I would offer the average person the ability to make a record for next to nothing.
And be paid by labels the regular prices.
What is the first step though? How do I protect my musician's property? Some of my people require up front payment to play in the studio. Others are invested in the full process of producing the songs.
I want to lift us up.
Midlife ISIS is a great name for a group
-
the only band i was ever in that even kinda went anywhere beyond local popularity was alleged satanic ritual abuse (ASRA), we did grind. i joined after the one recording on black box to play bass on some tours.
playing a punk squat house in what i took to be one of dicier parts of baltimore was the highlight. i think carbomb played too.
i want to be in a band that sounds like makes spooky metal like ruins of beverast but the scene here is not very metal and even less weird.

Yes, sounds epic and the name is dope.
It reminds me of a gig we had in a friends barn and our drummer was so drunk he just left the set to take a piss and took ages to return. Later on he proceded to try and smash beer bottles on his own head (like in that movie Whisky) but never succeded, instead cried like a girl. Dude was 15 years old and drunk for the first time.

Have played in tonnes of punk and hardcore bands. One powerviolence band. Psychedelic jam bands. Sound collage + noise stuff. Traveled, put out records etc. all of it. I also make beats and spin grime/dnb/techno/minimal etc. Obviously i'm crazy about music. I'm always itching to share stuff here but I don't wanna doxx myself :( .

I have like 8 or 9 musicians who record here and we can do anything together for sure. Any style no problem.
What do I do with the music?
Other people care about getting paid eventually.
It would be nice to have deals with brands or whatever. Then I could keep buying more gear and keep building.
My dream is to rebuild what I blew off before.
I would offer the average person the ability to make a record for next to nothing.
And be paid by labels the regular prices.
What is the first step though? How do I protect my musician's property? Some of my people require up front payment to play in the studio. Others are invested in the full process of producing the songs.
I want to lift us up.

I spoke with Loyd Kaufman via email about my old band being used in any upcoming Troma movie’s and he said they would if they were going to make any sometime soon, maybe we could submit a few song’s.
That was in 2015 and haven’t heard or followed back up with him, so I’d say go directly to the source of whatever movie and maybe DM them with a proposal for music or ask who to contact about soundtracks….
Either way you got nothing to lose…. Just ask around I’m sure it would work, it took me a few leads to get Loyd’s email address but once I was consistently emailing him he got back to me.

My best bud makes a lot of weird ass synth music and has sold 4 songs (Soundcloud?) this year and made some okay bank off of it. I dunno totally what that means because I am trapped in 1997

I was lucky enough to have one of my songs featured in a big French movie, almost 20 years ago. IME, it's mostly about who you know and being in the right place at the right time. In my case, it just happened that a well known DJ lived in my neighboorhood, I met him and he liked my stuff, so he introduced it to the film maker. Pure chance. And it did not happen twice!
anyways the music industry has changed massively since then and you're in the US, so things are probably different for you. But IMHO the problem is there are now litterally millions of guys who can record at pro level easily, at home. Some are actually good enough to do all the instruments/mixing/production themselves, one-man band type deal. So the competition is really really tough....
I stumbled across this vid yesterday and I thought there were a lot of good points made....some food for thought:

Hmm, I just recently watched a documentary about how in the Streaming era 99,9 percent of musicians get fucked over. Unless you almost reach drake levels of fame it is very hard to monetize with music alone. I try to buy albums from band camp if I really like the band as it seems there the musicians seem to get the best percentage. Some musicians in Germany have started to make limited editions of vinyl again. Those seem to sell out quickly. I have no idea if there is much money in that, though…
Have you thought about making your music available for skate edits? Those potentially reach a lot of people.
I have a small jazz funk group with two of my neighbors. We have been playing together once a week for two years now. We program the drums. I play the trumpet and my friends play bass/guitare and keyboard. The keyboarder is actually a professional musician who ends up teaching us a lot of things. Lately we’ve been getting more into dub. Band practice is my favorite night of the week!

I was in one for a bit in high school. Mad respect to anyone still doin it, requires constant hustling and taking pretty much anything you can get. This was the one EP we put out: https://open.spotify.com/album/3WdP9HEVC8QZl63opKztIa?si=z_km4aR8S0Kx36pXoiYWuQ (https://open.spotify.com/album/3WdP9HEVC8QZl63opKztIa?si=z_km4aR8S0Kx36pXoiYWuQ)

Thanks. We're recording our demo today. Then hitting the studio seriously in January.
We're got some friends who do comedy podcasts. I'm going to see if we sponsor or something if they will advertise our studio.

I need an argument for keeping these lyrics.
Our band Nancy x Spungen is supposed to be about the gutter life we use to live. I feel like these guys don't really wanna hear these things or they didn't know what an incredible lyricist I am.
There's been things said on our group chat that my lyrics are making my drummer have issues with his recovery. He's my very best friend in the world. I love him more than my brother.
Idk what to do.
People who don't actually know me or Duane keep comparing me to Duane. It's supposed to be a compliment but it kinda hurts my feelings.
Duane is a real fucking writer that's for sure but that dude hates me.
Anyway this is our newest one. I don't know if it will ever become anything. Maybe you could help me out with an argument point to keep it.

I'm 40 this year and I started playing music when I was 12. I picked up the guitar pretty quickly, played obsessively until about 16 when I started driving, and caring more about weed and girls than seriously practicing. I can play the bass as well, fingerstyle, and I can sing but I don't really do it anymore because I smoke weed and it has fucked up my singing voice over the last ten-fifteen years. My brother is a very talented musician, amazing drummer and has some classical training so he has been my mentor since day one. I've been jamming with people and playing for fun since I was young but I've only been in one proper band and been lucky enough once to find a group of people I have camaraderie with and like the same sounds. We never wrote any songs, but we learned the entire first Black Sabbath album from start to finish. I have the loudest voice of anyone I know and I have the same vocal range as younger Ozzy so it made sense for me to be the singer, while I do enjoy being on stage I much prefer playing guitar or bass, singing is more pressure and more scrutiny and not so much fun.

So anyways I scored a hot setup from my brother and I'm starting to make music again after an long hiatus. I copped this gear off of my bro who originally bought this stuff in 2008 or 9. It's a M-Audio Axiom 25 MIDI Controller, a Korg Padkontrol MIDI Controller, a Creative Audio sound card and a Toshiba laptop with Ableton 8 software. I've just been messing with it and having my brother walk me through it but I am SO stoked on this shit. I love music and it's a big part of my life so to be back in the saddle making beats and melodies has been super fun. My new project is called Umbra Ultra, it's just short simple electro-punk songs with cold and dark textures. I plan to realize an album called Ice Age with tons of breif songs, creepy and catchy minimalist sounds. If I add vocals they will be gibberish or baby talk because I hate writing lyrics. I might also add occasional guitar fills, we'll see. Will post in the Post Your Music thread as soon as I am satisfied with what I've got on wax

I really like that line „I can‘t fight my hands are tied“.
So you are afraid your band members might think the lyrics are to negative/not life affirming enough/anti sobriety. You need to convince them that they are not all that negative, right?
To me the song describes the mixed feelings of a person, who used to be an addict and doesn‘t really know what else to do or doesn’t know who he is now that he lives a regular life. It seems like the person would like to use again, but then that isn’t really an alternative either since life back then wasn‘t great either: „ I ain‘t ever been in my mind.“
The line „I ain‘t never felt so alive“ points to a more positive outcome: even though the person feels buried alive (by regular life) the person also somehow feels more alive than he ever has, because he faces these feelings.
Does that help? I am not a recovering addict, but isn’t talking about your feelings part of the process of recovery? That‘s why people go to AA, right? I mean in therapy it is all about acknowledging your feelings. That‘s supposed to give you the power to then act in a healthier way.

Flea, here is my advice: Inspiration functions in the same way an AM/FM radio- you have to keep turning the dials until you come across a station. Follow me?

I was almost in this band. I met with I guess what you would call the leader twice, once at his house where I played for him and once at mine. I learned their songs from a tape he gave me. They weren't bad guitar parts. Bit heavy on the pinch harmonics, even for the time and genre. I'm pretty sure they got arrested because I never heard back, and they apparently have a tendency to get arrested. I remember after I played their songs I learned back to him he asked me if I was comfortable being onstage (yeah, I was an all state trumpet player, I've played in front of more people than they have.) Then he asked me if I had any ideas of what kind of costume I would want to wear. I hadn't really thought that far ahead yet. Here is said band:

Started a new band not too long ago, we'll see how it goes.
Last time I've played in a band was 2016.
Punkrock-ish tunes a la Gaslight Anthem and such.
There is a rehearsal of us floating on Youtube, since we've kept forgetting our songs and how to play them.

Dude is your guitarist in that first video named Ernie by chance? He's the spitting image of my guitarist friend. I can't imagine him playing screamo though.
