Stay in the band and start a second band.

There is nothing as valuable as playing live and playing with others.

Don't quit until you have the other band assembled.

I hate metal. The first cover band that I was in during college in the 80's played Judas Priest songs in biker bars. They loved me as a singer because I can sing very high (classically trained tenor). I played a small amount of guitar. It was frustrating but it got me into bars every weekend for 2 years. The experience is very valuable.

Hang in there. Play with a group every day if you can.
