Established Pop Punk/Easycore band (Lester Special), is in search of a rhythm guitarist and bassist. Must be comfortable playing a down-tuned baritone or 7 string guitar, and a 5 string or down-tuned 4 string bass. (Many of our new, unreleased songs are played with drop G tuning 😳) Don’t have a baritone guitar? Don’t be scared, we have several of them you can use!
We have opened for nationally touring acts like 408, People R Ugly, Calling All Captains and Forever Came Calling, and we want to continue our momentum. Many of our influences are on the metalcore side even though our music is still very pop/chorus driven. Our new unreleased tracks lean more toward heavier music mixed with pop punk - think A Day to Remember or Four Year Strong but with more Djent-style guitar parts.
Must be able to rehearse 1-3 times per month in Austin area and play shows at minimum quarterly around Austin. We’d like to also branch out regionally as well.
We have a very high-energy live show. We run all wireless IEMs and wireless guitars for practice and live shows, so must be comfortable playing to a click, backing tracks, etc. We don’t use amps on stage or in practice, we use amp sims (Line 6 HX Stomp or similar).
Most importantly, you must be a cool dude.🤘🏼😜
Below is our latest music video, and we’re also streaming on all platforms.
