What Acid Does

About Me

I am a self-confessed 70's hard, progressive, classic, folk, doom fan seeking to recreate the classic sound of the Forefathers of Rock - and currently doing it alone! I'd love to meet anyone who is up for playing some of this music with me - either in person, remotely (I use Cubase), or a band looking for an extra member to practice in the London / Surrey area and tour wherever! My main instrument is guitar - but happy to play whatever! Obviously, the music could do with some lyrics / vocals too! Anyone welcome to get in touch - as long as influences in a similar ballpark! Ben
