Everyone always starts with influences. *deep breath* We like, Pavement, Yo la Tengo, Weezer, Sonic Youth, McLusky, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Rilo Kiley, Ima Robot, Secret Machines, Metric, Smashing pumpkins, Patti Smith, Cinematic Orchestra, A Perfect Circle, Incubus, Pearl Jam, K's Choice, Our Lady Peace, Mad at Gravity, Autolux. Everyone in the band likes different music so its not essential you're into these bands but its as good a guideline as I can give you. Were serious, so no time wasters please. Must be good (good timing and own gear essential), must have flair and have an interest in writing songs as we all write together. Band set up so far is vocals(female), bass, drums and keys.
