As title says, friend is coming to Vancouver for a few days but is only 18, want to take him to a good show

A bass player friend and I have been writing some heavy and straight forward hardcore/metalcore tunes and we’d love to get a drummer to play those tunes with!

Our main influences are:
- Harms Way
- Kublai Khan
- Bury Your Dead
- Sunguisugabogg
- Deftones
- Trapped Under Ice
- Speed
- Whispers
- Incendiary

We have a Jamspace with a kit and a PA, just need a drummer!

Hey, I’m 29M from the Abbotsford area looking to start or join a melodic metalcore/hardcore project.

Main influences are Counterparts, Misery Signals, Concealer, Poison The Well, END, xSERAPHx, Sherane, I Promised The World, If I Die First etc. I’m mainly interested in doing harsh vocals/screams and building something emotional with heavy breakdowns rather than radio-rock style stuff.

Still leveling up my vocals but serious about improving and practicing consistently. Looking for people who are chill, reliable, and actually want to write music, jam, record, and maybe eventually play shows.

A little later today getting this list up but again, a VERY full weekend of live music across Vancouver and beyond!
