Ive been making music since I was 16, but started releasing music during the pandemic. My first album XO came out August 2020 and experimented with rock and alternative pop sounds. My second album, an eclectic mix of R&B, electronic pop and rock music was just released on queer and trans run indie label Get Better Records. It’s called To Build Me a House. Ive made a bunch of videos and traveled a little bit over the past couple years, making visuals and performing in Paris, Amsterdam, London, and Berlin. I’m writing my Third album and ready to form a band of queer and trans superstars who want to take over the world. X
I am a vocalist primarily with some songs I’ve written on acoustic guitar with very simple if shoddy chords. I’m not the most skilled player but I’ve got melodies and lyrics for eternity. I hope to find a guitarist, bassist and drummer to record and produce my new songs with and play gigs around NYC (and beyond)! I’m a fun, passionate and kind Black trans woman who wants to take my music to a whole other place sonically. I hope to find co-conspirators in this endeavor, based on mutual respect and love for the art.
1 guitarist (electric/rhythm/power chords welcome!)
1 bassist
1 drummer
Ideally queer, trans, and lovely energy xo

Hi, singer here - alternative rock/soul. I'm a social psychologist based in Brazil, currently living in BK. I've played professionally on weddings and also have had a couple bands for fun, but I've decided to pause my life over there to make it here in the US as a singer and therapist. I'm very excited and putting a great energy into this project.
Looking for bandmates (all genres welcomed and encouraged) to start our own band & make original songs. Willing to play festivals in the future, do interviews, record albums etc. Seeking for dedicated and humble folks that will be open to travel when needed. The goal is creating meaningful and authentic music together. I do compose lyrics and I'm a beginner as a guitarist and intermediate drummer player.
If you’re tired of harmful social standards and would like to use music as a path for freedom - whatever it can mean, reach me out! (it means we vibe the same). Please serious inquiries only!

slow.namesReceive is a loud/quiet, kinda weird band with dark sensibilities.Seeking a bassist!
We’re currently a trio (guitar, baritone guitar + vox, drums) in search of someone to round things out and bring some much-needed low end into the mix. (Plus a little synth on a couple tracks.) We’re all pretty chill and nice, and we keep things pretty focused. If that’s you too, so much the better.


We have a 6-song set with charts written out, & we rehearse twice a week. Looking to start booking in the coming months, once the songs get tight. Aiming to be on the road next year.


Sometimes the bass parts are in sync with the band (think thrash, doom, grind), sometimes the bass is syncopated & way out in front (think trip hop, 90’s alt rock). The guitars are sometimes quiet, but the bass is pretty much always loud. So it’s pretty important!

https://www.instagram.com/mooncitymasters/
The Moon City Masters are a Brooklyn based Rock duo bringing an upbeat, funky classic rock sound to the 2020s. Their string of singles have featured a unique combo of high pitch harmonies, catchy guitar and bass riffs, topped with face melting solos.


Fronted by twin brothers Jordan and Talor Steinberg, the MCM have toured across the country as both a headliner and opening act. They’ve played alongside artists like Sheila E, Joyous Wolf, Robbie Krieger and others.
We're looking for a Keyboard/Organ player that loves Rock and soul music that is willing to tour and rehearse on a weekly basis.
We've been performing as a three piece band the past two years and decided we want to try playing with a keyboard player. Our parts on the recordings aren't complex but we want someone that's a strong improviser because we like to stretch things out live. We haven't management and a booking agent and just tour Europe. We want someone that has the flexibility to tour and rehearse every week.

Started as frontman Sky Carlson’s songwriting project while finishing high school, 2/14 grew into far more than the Y2K pop punk act he envisioned. With drummer Ben Bustamante, the New York City band takes cues from emo, hardcore, and classic pop punk to create an undeniably youthful and visceral sound, featured in full force on debut single “Crystal Ball” off their upcoming half hour album with an equally poignant track list.

Heya! Former touring vocalist & guitarist in a band called Lost at Sea (pop punk/emo/post hardcore). Influences range from Thrice, Foo Fighters, Taking Back Sunday & Jimmy Eat World to pop, Davis Ramirez, Gin Blossoms, Dashboard, IDLES, idk it’s all over the place.


Just moved from Texas in Nov and new to BK/Bushwick. Wanting to get back on stage and writing with cool people.
Guitarist, vocalist (either lead or backup) for songwriting partners, to join a band, or to start a band. I can kinda play drums but like…I wouldn’t be a long term solution.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve played a show or written songs with anyone outside of my last band (6-7 years).


My background is in the indie-emo-post hardcore-folk worlds but would love to branch out into other genres with people who are stoked to be making music and having a good time.

Strange Neighbors
strangeneighborsmusic@gmail.com
@strangeneighborsmusic
Strange Neighbors first unleashed their jangly pop rock onto the New York scene in 2018.


Taking influence from the power pop and pop punk of the band’s youth, Strange Neighbors' songs are
characterized by sparkling guitars, intricate bass lines, rock solid beats and impassioned vocals, a mix of the old and new. Some say they bridge the gap between My Chemical Romance and the Beatles. Others say they sound like the Cranberries because they can't name another band with a femme singer. Aidan, Dana, and Zach say they sound like Strange Neighbors.
Established Indie Rock / Power Pop band looking for a drummer!
Someone who takes love of music seriously, but not themselves too seriously. Someone interested in and available to play multiple shows in a month in and out of NYC, and excited for short term and long term touring. Bonus if you like to write music and experience recording in-studio. Should have availability to practice regularly (1-2x weekly). And someone who enjoys the feeling of being in a fun loving, hard working, goal oriented, LGBTQIA+ band environment.

I am looking for people to start a band with
I am looking to form a band. Shoegazey + Florist + Food for Worms by Shame are the major inspirations. I play guitar and looking to fill out the rest of the band (Drummer, Singer, Basses + another Guitarist)

I’m primarily a combo organist, new to the scene, and eager to get out there. I can play guitar also and have a solid understanding of theory and harmony, which can help in collaborative settings. I can play other keyboard instruments and synths, but I recently sunk my assets into a Rheem mkVII and only have that to actually bring for now. I’m from Akron, OH and played in some looser garage/psych/punk bands. I have wide tastes and practice many styles, so I could branch out a lot of ways and am especially drawn to some of the stranger new wave/no wave/noise happenings here. I can get with and play to a lot, so don’t be afraid to reach out.
Seeking a band but open to other opportunities.
I am most interested in finding a band to fully join, whether one that’s already out there or just forming. I especially love playing live, so I’m open to more temporary spots, recording sessions, and all that as well. Basically, if you think you want organ for something let’s talk!
I can provide demos or record myself playing along to yours.IG Dms

I have played for dozens of bands and have been producing productions for years, and I'm itching to contribute to awesome band dynamics and sound. I am an excellent creative director, have great experience with recording/producing records, and I am a hell of a graphic designer too.


All that to say, I love alternative and rock music in their many different forms, and I love to collaborate with other talented individuals.
I'm looking to join a group as a rhythm guitarist or bassist (open to lead and vocals too)
I love alternative music and hip hop. Love any way in which they intersect too. Some basic bands I'm into that you might know are Black Keys, grouplove, kings of Leon, killers, muse, chili peppers, tame impala, vampire weekend, Avett Brothers. Some of my other favorite artists are Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, Joji, Lorde, Post Malone, Twenty One Pilots, among others.

We have a decent catalogue of original material to pull from but are eager to write more going forward.


Influences include My Chemical Romance, Suede, David Bowie, Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz/The Good, The Bad, And The Queen), Scott Walker, Foxing, Mannequin Pussy, and Julien Baker. We have provided a link to some early demos of some of our current material.

Balloon Snake started playing this past year, spreading loud, melodic angst from Econo Lodge to Berlin Under A. They've recently recorded singles and look to spread the word at shows this summer/fall. Have been told they sound like 'fun Weezer' and 'catchy Sonic Youth'. Members are from Polo Grounds and The Senior Year.

hello@danielmark.us
@_danielmarkus_
Hi! I'm a producer and mixer based out of my own private studio, Juniper Sound, in Clinton Hill. I work in an array of different genres—everything from hip hop to bluegrass, and I would love to work together!
New Brooklyn Studio with Affordable Rates
Juniper Sound (@junipersoundnyc) is a new recording studio in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, operated by producer/mixer Daniel Markus. Accessibility is a core principle of Juniper Sound: the goal of the space is to that everyone can afford to make a record here, and the all-inclusive day rate is $250. So, if you're in a 4-piece band and you have around 60 bucks a piece, you can record here. The space is also queer-owned and operated; we are specifically trans-allied, and everyone is welcome and safe at Juniper Sound.


The studio has a vintage mic locker, Baldwin upright piano, and a unique collection of synths, instruments, and guitar pedals you won't find anywhere else.

Cabaret styled band loosely based off of The Mystic Knights Of The OINGO Boingo. The members must be down to wearing chess Shepard head pieces and performing on a checkered floor! Occasionally also moving around stage and interacting with props. I will be breathing fire, singing and playing bass. Plus using skull maracas that glow in the dark. If that sounds like something up your alley, don’t be shy! ✨

No Jersey
nojerseynoproblem@gmail.com
@nojerseynoproblem
No Jersey is a band from New York City, specifically Brooklyn; we mostly play upbeat music about bummer topics. Musically we sit somewhere between Power Pop and Pop-Punk, with a dash of Emo in there; think Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Blink, and liiittle bit of MCR. At our core we are 3 bandmates: 2 singers/songwriters who play guitar and bass, and a drummer - plus we have one lead guitar player who joins us for live shows, but he's moving away, hence we're looking for a new one.
Lead Guitar Player
We're looking for a guitarist who can play leads, riffs, solos; you know, guitar rock things. If you wanna contribute background vocals that's definitely welcome but not expected. We can work with various levels of commitment, our current lead guitarist, who is moving away in August, usually only joins us for shows, but a more creative collaborator or full-time member is also welcome. And we don't discriminate; any race, gender, sexual orientation, or age can apply (although you gotta be cool with us being in our early to mid-30s).

@theogdebmanso
Deb Manso is a Brooklyn-based musical maverick who effortlessly combines the ethereal vibes of Portishead and Massive Attack with the soulful artistry of Frank Ocean. Her latest release, "Word Play," is a genre-bending anthem that blurs the boundaries between indie rock and alternative R&B. With Ken Helmlinger's expert production, the track is a mesmerizing journey into Manso's musical world.
Deb Manso's artistic evolution is as captivating as her music. After finding solace in songwriting during a difficult period in her life, she discovered her true calling in her 40s. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Lana Del Rey, Phoebe Bridgers, and FKA Twigs, Manso creates music that resonates deeply with women navigating their own paths of self-discovery. Her debut EP, set to be released this fall, promises to be a groundbreaking exploration of life's seasons and the richness of experience.
With her distinct blend of influences, powerful voice, and a determination to challenge conventions, Deb Manso is carving out her own space in the music industry, making her a force to be reckoned with.

Wetsuit (Brooklyn based 4 piece indie rock) is looking for a new drummer to join our band. Our current drummer is moving to California to pursue his masters degree.


We are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who can practice at least once a week (we rent a space at Danbro on Thursdays) and play shows 1-2 a month. We’re hoping to do a week long tour and a few weekenders next year as well as record our next album.


We’re looking for a positive, kind, collaborative musician who wants to grow with us as a band. Those traits are more important to us than technical ability or years of experience. Reach out to Allison to set up an audition.

@IvyLeague_Band
Born and bred from New York, Ivy League creates a community through their music and its meaning. Starting from the bass lines of John Rossi, to the wall of gang vocals throughout the songs, the music is filled with a “driving raw intention” and meaning. Distinctively an East Coast vibe, their music is the melding of their alt indie emo predecessors, with powerful verses and anthemic chorus’ while maintaining the polish of modern pop music. Since their release of the first single “The Weight”, Ivy League has begun to branch out in a way to establish themselves as their main goal in becoming a strong live performance. Since the conception, the band has begun to work along side certain mental health organizations to share and promote their championing of mental illness. As this is the community Ivy League provides to their audience, which is better referred to them as, “Family”.

Need 2x a week commitment of 90 min - 2 hours, songs will be ready but welcome creative collaboration and input. I have a practice space to which members will not need to contribute.

But I am in dire need of a bassist, a drummer, and maybe a guitarist who are down to share our grief, visions, breaths and energy. I want to start a band with preferably other Black, melanated Indigenous musicians who are down to rhyme, down to croon, and down to jam to make something really sonically beautiful.
Early MIA meets JPEGMAFIA or Orion Sun & the Internet vibes? Indie/Alt/World/RNB/Experimental Hip Hop? Genres are fake? Indigenous beat making! Seeking folks to put our sounds together to make something dope & sonically healing.

MafalcusGuitarist looking for band mates for punk/psych/garage band
Hi! I'm a guitarist looking to start a garage punk/psych kinda band. 4-5 members, so vocals, bass, drums, another guitar, maybe keys, etc. I have the skeletons of around 20 songs that are in various stages of completion, but what I'm really looking for is a group collaboration, people writing their own parts and swapping ideas. I'm not gunning for any one boxed in sound so i guess loud guitar music would be a start and the reference music would be The New York Dolls, Bo Diddley, Ty Segall, Thee OhSees, Misfits, classic british punk bands, Pixies, Ramones, T-Rex, Nick Cave, 60's garage rock, 60's girl groups and northern soul, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Jesus and Mary Chain, punk bands on Dirt Nap records, etc. Trying to avoid emo and angsty grunge stuff. Looking for ages 25-40s, who have good gear, to write originals and occasionally do a cool cover like a Shangri-Las or Mummies song.
