Cassini's Division- The Punks from the City of Joy

From the city of Kolkata, a band that is unique in every aspect of their approach to music, from their deep and well thought out lyrics and diverse themes to their use of Indian scales and melody structure in their songs. They work towards creating a sound that is melodic with a vast contrast of emotions. They have created quite a fan following and have been playing together for more than eight years. They refuse to follow common trends and continue to do things with their unique style.

Rex Vijayan: Guitars

This Ernakulam-based guitarist who learnt to play at a very young age, began his musical career by mastering popular covers. He was part of a popular band called Motherjane from Kochi in the early 90s. The session artiste is actively involved with the Daksha Seth Dance Company- a contemporary dance group, and still performs for them at various shows in India and abroad.                        

Anand Raj Benjamin Paul: Vocals

The vocalist from Thrissur with a unique voice that renders a primeval quality to many of the songs featured in the album. The singer also dabbled as an English teacher until he quit, to dedicate his full-time to music. He has many stage shows in India and abroad to his credit. Guess what? He sings jingles to unwind.            

Mithun Puthanveetil : Drums

The drummer boy always hears a distant beat. Versatile on the tabla and a wide range of percussion instruments, Mithun dabbled with pop music before finding his true calling. Funk and Rock. Until recently he played drums for a Thiruvananthapuram-based heavy metal band called Rage.

Tony John: Turntable, Percurssions

As a vocalist, his initial claim to fame came in 90s with a hard-rock band called Karizma. Now known as the dexterous fingers that create magic on turntables, he has contributed two songs in Avial's debut album. Tony has been a vocalist and percussionist for the Daksha Seth Dance Company. Together with Rex, he has won appreciation with many an international 

audience.

Naresh Kamath Bass

The only non-Malayali in the band truly defines that music needs no language. Naresh has an ardent fan following as the Bass Guitarist of Bombay Black, which opened for Aerosmith at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in LA in 2001. He has been an active musician in the Indian rock scene for the past 14 years, currently producing

The Indian Band Music Scene

Rock Bands in Indian Subcontinent You Should Know

In the lines of a country pictured as a diverse and tolerant nation, which has been an apt melting pot for beliefs, aspirations, religions, practices and numerous such other instances of humanity and civilization; I'm trying to produce a as diverse a list as possible, consisting of the most creative and original Indian bands in the music industry today. The list encompasses almost everything, from vedic metal to raga rock, from  the folk bands of the soil to fusion and electronic Indian funk bands, these are all whole lot of talented musicians hailing from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. These band members are exponentially expanding the boundaries of music and what it should sound like; fusing together various elements of Indian music, language and culture with Western music influences. Read on to learn about the best bands in India today.

These are exciting days for the independent music industry in India, with a host of brave young bands and musicians coming out with exciting new material, with an attitude that's fresh, with the nerve to refuse to follow popular trends in music and show a finger to the Bollywood film music behemoth, that mostly churns out regular pop fluff for the helpless listener. These artists dare to question this monopoly, preferring instead to create intelligent music, that is free of boundaries. The bands listed below are unique in their own right and deserve to be listened to and noticed the world over.
