I just did a bit of research, and it turns out I'm looking at two of the most skilled, unsigned musicians in my area! And they want to offer me a place in their new band
band... Their last band broke up a few days ago because they wanted to go one way, while the guitarist and singer wanted to play a different style of music, but prior to the break-up, they managed to get to the finals in an annual music contest for unsigned acts.

I'd say that it seems like a great opportunity to get some band experience and possibly even start really doing something with my music.
