I Need A Rock Band / myLot

I don’t mean I want to hear a rock band or hire one for a party, but to get one to set my words to music. My current novel in progress plays strongly on evil demons who help spread their cult among fans of a rock-Goth music culture and having quoted some of their lyrics in the text I would love to create the band itself. I have no musical talent myself but I’m confident my verse could be set to a pounding rock score. How on Earth do I find musicians to do it? Arthur Chappell

I always wanted to be a singer/songwriter in a goth-rock band. Good luck to you! I also always wanted to live in Manchester. One day!

@arthurchappell Thanks! Me too. I hope to stay one day. Are you a City or United supporter? Or not that into football?

Here's a link I found that you might find helpful. I haven't added any links here to anything yet so hope this displays right.

The soundtrack’s main goal is to better emphasize the book’s atmosphere while also helping readers discover new music.

that is a neat idea though mine will use specially written compositions - still lots to write and edit with the book itself first though.

I don't know, but you could try Craigslist or Fiverr.

I can't help you here. If you need someone who sings badly, that I can do.

That is what I am saying. I bet I could write some killer rock songs. Could not help anyone with the music though. There is just no rhythm in this body. The problem with writing songs for other people is they cant quite feel how important it is to you. That is why an original musician who can write their own music and convey their own message will win every time.
