You start out playing Rock Band in your basement and soon enough you want the real thing. So there you are trying to figure out how you can make enough money to get all the instruments you need. The band has to sound awesome. You head down to your local instrument shop and realize that this is going to cost a fortune. Disappointment sets it.

If you really have the drive to make it in the music industry why not take a cue from the Texas band Vocal Trash and make your instruments completely out of used materials. What could be more gypsy punk than a band completely equipped with trash instruments?

Vocal Trash created all of their instruments using used auto parts and other trash creations. When put together they sound as awesome as any traditional band, and getting there didn't cost them a thing. It is also a great way to keep things out of landfill. So next time you are dreaming of starting your own rock band, get creative and see what a few used auto parts and some tin cans can get you.
