yea I've written plenty of songs in the past for the three main bands I've been a member of over the years, although they were all punk bands but I've written over 40 songs, sometimes just the music other times music and lyrics. Now I've left those bands and I've just got a new band together which is more rock influenced so the music is more challenging, we've just had our first jam last sunday and it went really well, we managed to get 4 song ideas from that practice and i'm really looking forward to the next practice session :)
