That's great. When I hear people grumble about the lack of good original music, I wonder how much effort they have put in to growing it.
I would consider it building a band if one starts with them and stays with them, firming up a lineup and injecting your confidence in it and other skills to it.
Do it again!One band that did relatively well locally speaking and in hindsight could have gotten close to having at least a song released (& thus opening up the "No Quality Control" NWOBHM nostalgia circuit to us 35 years later) if the two least organised members hadn't approached a record company without a plan and without telling the rest of us.
One band that I entered as member of a Spinal Tap style revolving cast of drummers. I gigged and recorded demos with them thinking they were a Thrash Metal band. Many years later the guitarist tracked me down and turned up at my house with a 12" vinyl album revealing that I was now not only a recorded artist but also a member of not only the first Hardcore Band from NE England but also a seminal Hardcore band in UK terms! At least that's what I read about them on the internet. They're still going strong too
Subsequently I took on the longstanding tradition of North East musicians which was to join covers bands, compare stories with other musicians, and plan the reformation after the second pint of beer whenever we go out on a Friday.
