Hypnoblue describes their music as ‘open-hearted’. That is exactly what it is. The infectious melodies bring back memories of a sunnier, happier time. And for those in their forties, their childhoods! We can’t put our fingers on it, but we imagine if you’re a fan…
Meet 28-year old Harish Budhwani. A software engineer/developer during the day, kickass musician at all other hours. We've met many engineer-musicians in our lives, actually so many that it borders on cliché. But there's a lot that's different about Harish. Perhaps because he's disciplined and…
When I first listened to Bright Smoke’s newest single Follow My Dreams, I was quick to box them into a category. Don’t get me wrong, I love their sound. Plus they’re a very tight band. But they took me back to the days of yore…
What we love about indie artists is how creative they can get, especially when left to do what comes naturally to them. They aren’t afraid to try things others wouldn’t dare to, a lot like children who don’t hide their play from adults. In fact,…
Harry D’Souza is not your run-of-the-mill musician. I got the sense of it when I first listened to his music. And I was entirely convinced of it when I’d finished an hour-long conversation with him. One, he's learned the ropes organising gigs for other artists…

If there’s anything I’ve learned from life, it’s the fact that if you’re asking someone…
Prateek Gandhi can handle just about anything you throw at him. We noticed how many songs we hear on a daily basis that have been worked on by Prateek. We had to heart-to-heart talk with him about everything, his Bollywood music, how he picks his…
Ella Fitzgerald said, “The only thing better than singing is more singing.” This is what the lockdown has been like for most musicians I’ve spoken to. I can’t recall a time when artists produced so much music as they have in the last eight months…
What began as an attempt to review his latest single Dance has now led us down a different path, thanks to YouTube playing the rest of his tracks in no particular order. Ordinarily, we’re a team of rockers and metalheads. Indian metalheads. It means we’ve…
