Looking for bands to record for free in a professional studio in central London

Hello there

I'm currently studying music production and sound engineering in a college in London and I have access to really good studios and equipment (mics, desks, outboard gear, etc.) I have to do some live recordings as part of some assignments so I'm looking for bands to record in the studio. The style can be whatever. Since most people do everything sampled over here (specially drums) I think it can be a really good opportunity to do some really cool stuff.

Here is a video of the college

The college is a 5 minutes walk from the Angel tube station in London, we have a drum kit here, some cymbals and a bass amp, and I have an Axe-Fx II available that we could use but it would be cool if you bring your own equipment for authenticity's sake! I can even do live recordings (or partially live) since I have 3 rooms available to use when recording.

I'm also a musician myself (guitar, bass, keyboards) and I've been playing in bands for years so I have experience in that too! Played numerous festivals (including Euroblast 8) and done several recordings over time.

Of course I'l do these recordings for free since I need them for my assignments, so it's a win win situation for everyone! Band get some awesome recordings done for free and I get the stuff that I need.

Looking forward to record some awesome bands!

 

Here are some of the latest tracks that I've recorded, on a different studio of the one where I'm now but I guess it will give you an idea of some of my skills

I forgot to say also that apart from the Axe Fx II I have an Ibanez S7420FM 7 string guitar and an Ibanez BTB 705DX 5 string bass that could be use for tracking if needed. The bass amp on the studio is a Trace Elliot valve/solid state amp.
