Indian Rock Music Breaks Through

India

Jai –what? Shut up! If you think Indian music begins with “Bolly” and ends with “wood,” prepare to have your mind blown. Ever since the Beatles went to India, rockers the world over looked to India for inspiration or a little exotic something to spice up tired tracks. But kids in India have been rocking out for decades too, putting down sitars and picking up guitars to wail along to their favorite Western tunes. In an exciting development, musical influences are now coming full-circle – rock bands are sprouting out of every Indian college campus and a new enthusiasm for home-grown talent is pushing these budding stars onto the international stage. Whether poprock, progrock, alterna-indie, or metal, India is on the verge of becoming on the most thrilling places for rock music. In this special feature, listen to interviews with bands from Delhi to Mumbai to Chennai, watch exclusive performances, check out slideshows, and read one Indian music scenester’s take on the agony and triumph of being a rocker in India today. India’s calling, all you boys and girls…come out and listen.

Indian Rock Music’s Long Hard Fight to the Light

Indian Rock Music Breaks Through

The easiest way to sneak alcohol into Rang Bhavan was to hide it under a girl’s jacket. The notoriously long queues of people waiting impatiently to enter Mumbai’s legendary open air theatre were predominantly male, which meant that the security guards at the gate would only frisk guys. A girl, depending on her stature and the size of the jacket, could slip in anywhere between four to eight cans of Kingfisher beer. Inebriation was as crucial to the Rang Bhavan experience as the Metallica-inspired, ‘90s metal cover bands. As the sickly-sweet smell of weed wafted through the air...

Meet the Bands! Video Interviews

Rock In India: An Introduction

You're not gonna hear this stuff on the radio. In India, home-grown rock bands once got booed off the stage. The growing legion of groups aren't in it for the money. They're here to rock out, bang their heads, and get covered in each others' sweat in a solid mosh pit. Influenced by '90s grunge, '80s metal, and today's indie rock -- these groups can't be lumped together. Hear how Junkyard Groove explain their sound: "Just imagine Incubus and Poison, the two of them got together and started drinking." Well, don't imagine. Watch the video above. That's pretty accurate.<br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Half Step Down Interview: "Download it, Steal it"

Mainstream music? Bollywood? "All of us are trying our best to break away from that," says Half Step Down lead singer Dheval. They grew up listening to the Stones and the Beatles and they’re not gonna play Bollywood just because it’s what the radio wants. This hard-working Delhi-based band is constantly touring and just released their debut. "Download it, Steal it," Dheval says. In this intimate interview, shot in Dheval's bedroom, the band says they don't need your money; they just want you to hear what they've got to say. <br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Junkyard Groove Interview: Rock Music Isn’t Indian. So?

"Rock shouldn’t be mainstream," say Junkyard Groove, a rock band that has been playing together for years in Chennai, where they have tons of local fans and instill Chennai pride in younger up and coming bands. Based in Chennai -- a city known for being more conservative, the group hangs out in their practice space dishing on their influences -- Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, and Incubus -- and gets into a rowdy fight about where, exactly, Rock is from. What’s decided is that "It’s not Indian, that’s the bottom line." And that's fine by them. Recently, Junkyard groove played the Desert Rock festival in Dubai where they shared the stage with bands like Kings of Leon and Prodigy. <br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Jalebee Cartel Interview: Indo-Electro and So Much More

Jalebee don’t care if you know about them. They’d rather stay underground. "When something becomes popular," they explain, "It just kills the complete scene." The four-piece electro band has made their own scene off the pop radar. Last year, they played over 100 gigs, launched a record, and finished up a 12-city tour. But they’re not tired. Watch them banter about everything from growing up on "a steady diet of Led Zeppelin" to how they were never really meant to be a band. <br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Tough On Tobacco Interview: Put Down the Sitar, Pick Up the Guitar

If you're an indie rock group based in Bombay, who cares if you don't use the sitar? "That’s not what we want to do as a band," says frustrated drummer Jai. They come from varied experiences: Sidd, the lead of the band has had many bands before TOT and is a born musician. Johanm the bassist, used to live in Kansas, USA where he went to college. Pozy -- the guitarist was "picked up outside a gym where he was begging for protein shakes" according to Sidd, and Jai, the drummer, is the youngest of the lot but easily the one who keeps them all in line. TOT started as a social message to "quit smoking" but they gave that up within seconds and just decided to play music together. With a couple of guitars and a drum set, these boys bang out riffs that are as fun as their infectious camaraderie.<br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Rainbow Bridge Interview: Singing in English

Who cares what language you sing in? It’s rock and roll. These guys from Chennai may not be on the radio -- it’s clogged with Bollywood and Britney Spears -- but they’ll play their asses off anyway. Watch the clip to learn why they sing in English -- and in every language -- even though they know it won’t get airplay. After the long shoot and interview they grabbed our Iggy correspondent and went to nearby dance club, Dublin, where they danced until 3 in the morning, then ate dosas and idli at a neighborhood restaurant. Their range of musical influences really showed when, after clubbing and eating, they chose to blast Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" at top volume while careening through the Chennai streets dropping people home at four in the morning. <br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Them Clones Interview: Not Going to Start A Revolution?

Inspired by '90s grunge rock, the guys of Delhi’s Them Clones sing aggressive, fist-pumping hard-rock about everything from war to sex. Their shows are pure madness -- mosh pits, screaming -- and the energy on stage could power the country of Luxembourg. Having just released their debut album, <i>Love.Hate.Heroes</i>, the group says they’re not here to start a revolution -- though their music isn’t what you’d typically hear in India --"Everybody’s just out there to create their own music."<br/><br/> <a href=http://www.mtviggy.com/article/feature-indian-rock-music>Back to the Special Feature: Indian Rock Music Breaks Through</a>

Even on an acoustic version of one of their grunge rock songs, you can tell these guys really know how to turn it up a notch. The track "Knocking," from their debut <i>Overtures in OuterSpace</i>, speeds up to the point that you fear for the guitarists' fingers -- man, can they strum.
