| sounds very very familiar. although i started with one other guy, (guitar player/vocalist with zero experience)building a rock band from the ground up, gear, experience, contacts, everything. I tried to send the music in the direction i was interested in. but, being only the bass player (a beginner at that)and having some difficulty playing and singing at the same time, i was forced to stand back and watch the style of music evolve into something i wasn't even into. Can't exactly tell someone to "sing it like this, with this kind of feel, because i can't". So I eventually made a very tough decision, ( i had allot invested in this project, in allot of ways, and it was my first) and quit.
fast forward a few years, a couple different bands, and i ended up in a situation where i had a band, but nobody could sing. So, i wrote some songs and practiced until i felt comfortable, then brought them to the table. 6 months in and we have 6 original well developed, group composed songs+5 more covers, with our own feel and arrangement. Couldn't be happier with my decision to take it on and do it myself. |
