Much to worry. I have an existential quandary on my hands. I'm 24 and I'll have been a college graduate for 2 years this September. I'm sitting on a medical school application and MCAT scores that will need a renewal next January. All because I'm taking time away from academia to make my band work. Our singer and I put 40 hours a week into the band alone and work full-time menial day jobs (sometimes 7 days a week) to finance it. All we want to do is tour, but we can't. Our drummer and other guitarist are each a year out of engineering degrees and as such have barely any time to practice let alone any time to write and writing has to be a full-time undertaking. Over the past three months we've made little progress towards finding a label.
This summer we will write full time but when school starts again, we lose two guys again until next spring. Meanwhile the rest of us aren't getting any younger and we feel like we're gonna miss our deadline.
So now we have a choice: do we wait it out and play the same tired set in the same tired clubs with the same tired bands and the same tired promoters, OR do we look for two new guys who can sack up now, and in-so-doing possibly jeoparidize our band's signature style, charisma and cohesivness? Shit.
