If there is one thing that puts you off as a band, what would it be?
The rise of commercial music and also not being able to
gig that much. At the end of the day, we are a band that
has invested lot of time and money into our music. It has
been ten years in the scene and if we can literally count the
number of shows, then there is something wrong with the
industry. That’s what puts us off! We have invested a lot of
money in the gear we use, we have really spent effort and
money. We do feel we should be paid for it. People usually
get a little paranoid about taking us on a gig due to this.
rapport with Harman, we spoke to them and asked them if
they would like to come on board as our Audio partner. They
were kind and came on board and provided everything we
needed on stage. The vocal mics we used were D7 & D5. These
mics stay true to the tone and sounds great outside as well.
In an age where cover artists have gained popularity, we are
also asked to play covers but we straight up deny that! The entire drum mic set makes sure that the sound that the
drummer looks for comes out as is. We are a band that plays
on click and hence we need In-Ear systems and AKG IVM4500
is one of the best In-Ear monitoring systems we have played
with. We used those same systems at the Harman Live Arena
and were blown with the clarity and crispness of the sound. It
was just great!
Tell us about your endorsement with Harman What can we look forward to from the band in this year?
Two years ago, Harish from Harman called our manager
and asked if we would like to play at the Harman Live
Arena. We were kicked to hear that since we had heard a
lot about it and the sound is extremely good there. They
go all out at the event! The best part is the fact that it’s not
just your target audience that’s present there. You end
up playing for a wide range of audience. They liked our
music and were kind to offer us an endorsement deal. That
definitely pushes and inspires us to make more music. We
are a proud Harman endorsee now!
Could you tell us about the products of Harman you
are endorsing
When it comes to vocal mics, we love the AKG D7. We did
this event called Epic Shor in 2018. It was an album launch
where three bands launched albums. Since we had a great
We are currently recording an acoustic EP of four songs. The
songs were released as part of the second album already but
we are rearranging them and toning them down completely
to present them in a different way. We are also doing an
a’capella version of one of the songs from our second album.
Having been in the industry for over a decade, what would be your
message to upcoming Indie bands?
Find your sound and stick to it! Don’t get flustered if it’s
working or not. Staying true to your sound is important.
Trends keep changing too so keep innovating as per what you
are feeling and can relate to. Stick together no matter what!
The chemistry that the band shares off stage also matters. We
are all goofballs when we are off stage and have a lot of fun. Be
bonded as friends first and then musicians.
