About Don’t Start A Band

Being in a band is one of the best feelings in the world—until it isn’t.

The momentum stalls. The ideas blur. And suddenly you’re wondering if it’s still going somewhere—or just going in circles.

That’s why Don’t Start A Band exists.

I’m Jed Elliott—bassist for The Struts, lifelong bandmate, and someone who’s lived just about every stage of band life. I’ve played to 10 people in a pub and 80,000 supporting The Rolling Stones. I’ve had the tough talks, nearly walked away, and still come back hungry to build something great.

DSAB is the resource I wish I had when I was starting out.

Not a lecture. Not a shortcut. Just the stuff that actually helps:

• E-books and workbooks that guide you through real band challenges

• Conflict tools and communication strategies that don’t require psychology degrees

• Marketing and growth tactics tailored for bands, not solo influencers

• Performance and songwriting systems you can actually use

These packs aren’t about doing things “the right way.” They’re about helping you find your way—with your band, your goals, and your sound.

Whether you’re just getting started, stuck in a creative rut, or ready to take things pro, Don’t Start A Band is here to help you build the band you wish you joined.

Because building a great band takes more than talent—it takes the right tools, and someone in your corner.
