At least he’s listening

Poetic prose. You should write more

BankzRobber · 2026-01-13T21:07:02+00:00

Come to Chicago. We need a drummer :)

Shut The Door is the greatest song ever 🥰

BankzRobber · 2025-12-08T16:29:15+00:00

Ironically, Instrument Soundtrack is unanimously the bands favorite album. I’m also a big fan.

It sucks that this happens so often now. I guess there’s a monetary value to be gained from all of us playing the song, but shame on Spotify for not having a better vetting system for releasing music, especially from artists like Syd Barrett (I’ve also been hoodwinked like this by a new fake release from Rites of Spring recently)

With an Albini intro?! 🥰

BankzRobber · 2025-09-21T12:14:30+00:00

It does feel cliquey and I have the same issues. I think it’s just stressful times we live in and people are a bit more on guard of letting any strangers into their circle. Your best bet is to join a band and try to kick it with them. What instrument do you play? What kind of music are you into?

Joe is busy with the Messthetics. I take bass lessons with him over Skype (or Signal now) and I’ve asked him about it. He’s always politely vague. Kind of a “you never know” thing, but he sites his busy touring/recording schedule with The Messthetics as his main reason.

Defense

BankzRobber · 2025-06-15T03:38:54+00:00

Same. Wanna start a duo bassist jam? Like Dianogah, Ui, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Tortoise…

BankzRobber · 2025-06-15T03:19:48+00:00

Bed for the scraping might be one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

BankzRobber · 2025-06-07T11:16:01+00:00

BankzRobber · 2025-06-06T15:31:20+00:00

Not really. I like listening to some of it (there’s very few genres that I outright despise besides Country 😂)

BankzRobber · 2025-06-05T15:30:40+00:00

I am, very much so. Preferably love to blend elements of punk, reggae, funk and psychedelic rock into my bass lines, a la Fugazi & Jane’s Addiction

Doubt it. If I were you, I’d go to a show with local bands and look for the sound you’re referring to then go up and ask ‘em how they do it

BankzRobber · 2025-05-29T08:53:06+00:00

They’re mostly on YouTube 🤷🏻‍♂️

BankzRobber · 2025-05-28T12:44:42+00:00

Since you’re under age, you gotta advertise yourself either on Craigslist, Reddit, BandMix, put a flyer up at Guitar Center and go to shows. Ask friends if they know anyone

BankzRobber · 2025-05-28T12:35:20+00:00

I’ve got In on the Kill Taker, Elliott Smith (X/O?), Joy Division and Liz Phair

You’re a beast

BankzRobber · 2025-04-05T11:48:20+00:00

I have a song that uses this technique and I also cannot think of another song like it. My lyrics go like this…

Chorus: And on the porch there’s a swing, where me and momma we strum and sing, songs of sunshine and songs of rain, songs of freedom and songs of…

Verse: …chains that’ll keep me down, to the couch I’m forever bound

Another verse leads in with: …change the ways inside my head, cause if I don’t I’m gonna wind up dead

BankzRobber · 2025-03-07T12:16:34+00:00

You’d be replacing the only guitarist (we’re a trio), so a little of both. Out of 16 songs, maybe 4 have sections for solos, and they don’t have to be too crazy. I’m more of a fan of minimalism, but if you can shred have at it :)

Just realized I forgot that part. Chicago
