Fan Casting Mere Anarchy

A musical television series about young adults struggling to get their band off the ground. Kyle Dearborn is a guitarist and part time guitar teacher with a dream to make music fulltime, but his last band imploded thanks to clashing egos and the band's founder's arrest on charges of dealing. He manages to find willing musicians but finding inspiration and motivation is difficult...until he agrees to let his high school best friend David stay with him after getting out of rehab, and accidentally finds reams of poetry he's written about his experiences growing up in an abusive home, experiencing heartache of losing the love of his life, and turning to drugs. David, who turns out to also be a great singer, eventually agrees to join the band and let them use his poems for song lyrics, but the constant re-living of his worst moments, coupled with the rockstar lifestyle, may well lead him back down the dark road he traveled previously, unless Kyle can be the friend he needs as well as just a bandmate.
