I like some songs by the bands you have mentioned but am more of a fan of the old school rock bands like the Rolling Stones, The Clash etc. but I think I like the way you guys are going (especially by the fact that you mentioned the Beatles as well). I do play guitar but I'm not much of a lead guitarist (but am willing to put in the effort if required e.g. if you wanted to do have two lead guitarists like the Eagles). I think for the moment I'll probably be better suited doing the occasional/full time rhythm guitar. Seeing as I sing loads of covers (like at parties) I can sing a bit Strummer and Jones from the Clash and then again like Adam Duritz from the Counting Crows. Sort of. But overall I'd say it's more Indie but I'd rather you heard me sing a few different songs (including some of my own seeing as you said the band will be writing its own material) and then you can make up your own mind.
