Kraken
Kraken is a Delhi based band known for using a traditional rock setup to create a genre bending fusion of dance music, pop, rap, rock and bhangra. Stylistically, Kraken has always been strongly rooted in rock while being very flexible in its appreciation of pop and dance music, not shying away from experimenting musically or visually to create an immersive experience for the audience. In 2020, Kraken successfully completed crowdfunding for their latest offering 'CLUB NAMASTE', a 7 track EP that has seen them delve into an aspect of introspection and talking about the experience of being in Delhi, from Delhi, the stories and anecdotes and looking outwards in to the world, chronicling experiences and sharing them - aurally, visually and thematically.
Fish In The Sink
Influenced from the grief-struck, howling guitars of grunge and fashioned from the dynamic complexity of progressive rock, Fish in the Sink was formed in 2015 by four musicians from Chennai with far too many hours spent in front of the computer. The band has evolved from “for-the-love-of-music' basement rockers to a coherent unit peddling a genuine and intelligent brand of rock music, as they blend sophistication with a carefree, neon- drenched, Saturday night drive aesthetic, traversing musical plateaus with virtuosic ease and precision. From groovy to moody to dark to light to tempestuous to calm, the quartet invites you to soak in a larger-than-life sound, contained by little, discombobulated ideas which shake, quiver, and sway before bursting through with fresh intensity. There's something new to hear, every time.
