Do any Indie or even Hobbyist musicians post here? I'm always down to listen to new stuff.

This is Lemmy, does anyone post here?

Anyway, here's my solo project if you want to listen to it. Kind of emo-ish sort of something.

Well, I saw a lot of commercial pieces and didn't know if Indie or Hobbyist posted here. The side bar didn't give any guidelines. I guess in retrospect, it was a silly question.

At any rate: Pale Birds. I enjoyed it. Has a retro 90s/Garage kinda vibe to it, at least to these old ears. Of the album Remnants, I liked Promises and Lonely Sound the most. Very cool grooves man. Thanks for the share.

Hey, thanks for listening! Most of the songs were written for a band that had a 90s/grunge vibe, so spot on assessment. And those two songs are also my favorites!

Do you do this for a living or a side gig? I've been playing since I was about 5. I have put some stuff up on SoundCloud in the past, but I have terrabytes of stuff that will probably never see the light of day. It's just for fun really, as I have no delusions of breaking into the biz at my age. I've had a love affair with music all my life, and I honestly couldn't imagine life without it.

It's just for fun for me too, but I take it seriously. While I'd love to do it as a full time gig, there's just not money in the music industry these days without a ton of hustle and/or talent/luck.
