SWAMPED
Our band Swamped have recently amicably parted ways with our bassist/backing vocalist and we are looking for someone to fill the spot. We live in and around the city centre but practice in Chadderton near the Freehold tram stop.
It is an exciting time for us as a band because over the past few months we’ve released our first two songs, set up our socials, played our first gig, and moved into a new practice room. We were in the process of solidifying dates to record a 5 song EP in November and actively starting to searching for gigs with a solid 30-minute set. We want someone who we can pick up the momentum again with and be ready to gig and record later in the year.
STYLE
We have released two songs on spotify which are representative of our sound:

Our original main influences were Fiddlehead, Alexisonfire, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids, TWIABP&IANLATD but realistically we all like lots of stuff.
WHO ARE WE
We consist of a vocalist/guitarist, guitarist, and drummer and we are all 32. We all have full time jobs and the band is our creative outlet and escapism from the drudgery of capitalism. We are keen to play more gigs now that we he have a taste for it and keep writing and recording material.
PRACTICES
We currently practice every Thursday a little outside the city centre in Chadderton near the Freehold tram stop. We used to practice at the old Brunswick Mill in Ancoats in the city centre, we then moved to the new “Brunswick Mill” in Salford. As of June 2024 we're here!
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for someone who:
- Can play bass and provide sung backing vocals
- Can commit to the band and contribute towards the writing process and feedback on songs
- Can make it to Chadderton once a week (ideally on Thursdays) and is available for gigs. Car is a bonus but not required. We can give lifts to Chadderton from the city centre.
- Can contribute financially e.g. split the rent for the band room with us.
