Singer/Guitar player - form or join existing 90s/00s Alt Rock band

I've been singing and playing for 20+ years... really would love to start gigging again, tired of doing solo acoustic stuff. To be clear, I'm a singer that plays guitar, not a guitar player that sings. Looking to do some covers and originals. I'm a good rhythm player, I can solo - but prefer not to I'd love to do something a little more on the heavier side, but melodic. no Cookie Monster metal, and definitely no country. Influences....
