My name is Matthew Bryan Harris and I want to start a hardcore band.
I want to call the band TOTAL SUPPORT.
I'm making this blog as a way to find people who want to play in the band.
The concept behind TOTAL SUPPORT is positive hardcore thats about fun, having a laugh and being TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE.
I'm hoping to find 3 people who know how to play drums, guitar and bass and have been doing so for a while. Ideally songs will be short and full on rippers.
I can play drums, but what I really want to do is sing.
I have some specific concepts I want the band to follow:
gang vocals
playing all ages shows
positivity
radical inclusion
laughing at ourselves and everything else
pro-queer and trans
feminist
Tentative song titles I already have written in my head:
CALL YOUR MOM BACK AND TELL HER YOU LOVE HER
DOING THE DISHES
SEPARATING THE RECYCLING
BRUSHING YOUR TEETH THREE TIMES AND DAY AND FLOSSING
DOING YOUR HOMEWORK
CHECK OUT THIS RAD SHOW (content would change with shows coming up)
BANDS THAT ARE AWESOME
HUG A FRIEND
you get the idea perhaps?
influences I would bring to the table:
Gorilla Biscuits - New Direction
Minor Threat - I Don't Wanna Hear It
Kid Dynamite - Cheap Shot Youth Anthem
Reserve 34 - Cold Front
Margaret Thrasher - I Was Born To Sing Along
Black Flag - Rise Above
Fucked Up - No Pasaran
I am open to ideas and how people want to play.
