Hey everyone! My band Blood Rising is looking to get back in action with a drummer to complete our lineup. We're a young (late teens-early twenties) group based in the Bothell/Mill Creek and general Eastside area. We have a couple of gigs and a ton original music under our belt, and our focus is to ramp that up even more. Our sound mixes hard rock, heavy metal, groove metal, and sprinklings if early punk (influenced by QOTSA, Pantera, Metallica, CKY, Black Sabbath).

We have a practice space with a drum kit. If interested, please contact us, and I can send some demos of our current songs.

Four bands are bringing the pure rock fury to The Sunset Tavern on Friday July 24th.
This raises money for Seattle Area Feline Rescue
You should come. Bring your friends.

Purusa has been in Seattle before, but rarely as a full band. That makes this show an extra special treat.

I have quite a bit of live experience performing as a vocalist and backing guitarist in cover bands, but now that I’m starting college, I want to take music more seriously and begin creating original work.

I’m inspired by artists like Malcolm Todd, Steve Lacy, and d4vd—music that blends indie, alternative R&B, bedroom pop, and emotional, atmospheric songwriting. I don’t want to copy one particular sound, though. I’d like to study music together, experiment, and gradually develop something that feels like our own.

It doesn’t matter what instrument you play or what your specific role is. I’m looking for people who can teach me more about songwriting and music production, or who are willing to learn and develop those skills together from the ground up. Experience is welcome, but curiosity, creativity, and genuine commitment matter more.

My goal is to write and record original songs, rehearse consistently, and eventually perform around UW and Seattle. If you’re interested, message me with a little about yourself, the music you enjoy, and what you’d like to create. Feel free to reach out via reddit dm or Instagram: @ laoecim

I love the band I’m in (I play drums) but I really miss playing guitar In a project.

I’m itching to maybe do a fun new project. Something Title Fight, Iron Chic, Nothing, inspired.

I love heavy gaze, d beat, melodic sad fucking bastard musics

I dunno. Hit me up maybe if enough people have same inspo we can make it happen.

Hi all! We’re looking for a piano teacher who can come to our home in Madison Park for weekly or biweekly lessons with our 5-year-old.

If you know anyone in the neighborhood (or willing to travel here), I’d really appreciate a referral. Feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks!

Hello! We are looking to fill one more slot for our post punk/ dream pop band, (21+) looking for vocalist (who can possibly play synth as well) any gender, must have some sort of knowledge of the genre or the willingness to learn (check future nobodies, mouth ulcers deceits, CD Ghost) if this sounds like something you might be interested in let me know!

I have recently started playing saxophone again and would love to start making music with other people again. What would be the best way to go about this?

never been to Seattle but a set and a few games on a Thursday night sounds like a good time, down to gig trade in SF!

Looking for a drummer, a bass player, and a guitar player.

I’m a 30 tear old singer and piano player who has been writing rock music for the last 8 years and finally decided to start producing the music I’ve written. The genre ranges from pop-punk to posthardcore ballads and some elements of djent and metal but very melodic. I’m almost done producing 9 songs, and just had my first live show.

I’d like to build a band to play these songs live and to continue writing and creating as a group.

Hmu if you’re interested, and check out my insta @novadiamondmusic if you want some examples of the music I’ve written.

I just posted in here looking for a photographer and got a bunch of responses so I thought I’d give this a shot- I’m in an indie band looking for a keyboard player. We’re looking for someone 18-25 and the only rules are you have to be friends with us and no conservatives allowed. The band is Montana Pool Service.

my name is Kenzie I’m 20, last year i had a blast going to shows at houses/ other small venues, but I’m not really close with those friends anymore. I want to keep going to punk shows, if anyone here wants someone to go with hit me up yeah I can go alone but this stuff is better with friends!

Hey! I’m looking for people to go see Sammy Virji with in November. I’m 19 so preferably people under 22.

My band pie is playing a fun show. If yall don’t have weekend plans then come on down and enjoy some music. We would love to make some new friends

Hey! We’re a Seattle based indie band (Montana Pool Service) looking for a photographer to take promotional pictures for us. We’re not looking to spend too terribly much. If you or anyone you know does stuff like that, please lmk :)
