NJ is a pretty cool state to live in. We have lots of great history here. Lot's of cool things happened in NJ. Washington crossed the Delaware and sacked the Hessians, the Hindenburg went down in a ball of flames, aliens touched down in Grover's Mills in the Mercury Radio Theatre broadcast of 'War of the Worlds', Edison first recorded sound!. What I'm saying is, if you're looking for inspiration and you wanna escape the 'Jersey Shore' scene, it's very easy thing to do. The problem here is, if you wanna put together a solid Doom band, there are only about 5 Doomsters living in the entire state as far as I can tell. As for their pedigree, I can not vouch for all of them. Nonetheless, a righteous and proper young lad, that I can vouch for, and myself have formed a proper Doom band called 'Yeoman' which celebrates everything it means to be a hard-working, tenacious, sanguine, virtuous man in the world today. If you consider yourself such a person and play bass and find yourself in close proximity to Central Jersey, follow the link below. We have hours of material we are working with that really call for some bass guitar. I don't think we can go the guitar & drum duo route if you know what I mean. Follow the link below, inquire with in and we'll send you some tracks we're working on.
~Thanks & Cheers
