We are looking for people who is capable of writing, helping us write and co-writing new material that fits with the sound of our already existing material (we\'re not looking for carbon copies but somewhere vaguely in the same ballpark is pretty essential).

We rehearse 10 minutes from the city centre at the blueprint on Sunday Mornings and sometimes an additional evening during the week. We also try and get together during the week in Chorlton to work on ideas at home/ go for a drink etc Ideally you\'d live somewhere near us in South Manchester. We\'ve tried playing with people further a field but have found that it doesn\'t really work for us and usually leads to complications. We also feel that the further away from us that you live, the harder it is to be friends which is very important in order for the band to work. I\'d describe the band as Melodic rock with grunge, metal and folk influences. To give you a better idea of what that actually means, go to our myspace page where there is a recently recorded demo. http://www.myspace.com/robotstoriesband Your path from there, would be to make contact with by us using the following email – Spoonkinguk@yahoo.co.uk whereupon we will endeavour to arrange a meeting, in whatever situation you would prefer; whether we meet up socially or jump straight into an audition is entirely up to you. We look forward to hearing back from you.

PaganMan Seeking New Singer We are a South Manchester based band, playing what we would describe as “melodic folk-rock jazz metal” which we draw from a big range of influences, and play with what we would describe as a fair degree of skill; through various line up changes we’ve been together for around about 18 months, and have unfortunately parted ways with our singer in the last few weeks, which is, (hopefully!), where you come in to the equation. We’re looking for a strong vocalist, to lead us through the murky depths of our own peculiar brand of melodic rock music, we ask that you be able to do so with a modicum of commitment, (i.e.; you can get to Blue print Studios in Salford once a week, the vast majority of which will be a Sunday), a splash of creativity, and simply care enough about the music to want to improve it. Your first port of call then, is to find out what we sound like - you can do so at www.myspace.com/retardbomb (our old name!) or alternatively you can email us for more, and better quality demos, your path from there, would be to make contact with by us whatever means you have available - be it a myspace message, an email (Spoonkinguk A T - N O - S P A M yahoo.co.uk), or via the communication channel provided by this website, whereupon we will endeavour to arrange a meeting, in whatever situation that you would prefer; whether we meet up socially or jump straight into a practice is entirely up to you.
