Fame the band, a quartet based out of sleepy Tura, Meghalaya, decided to leave for greener pastures to the city that never sleeps, Mumbai. They relocated in 2017 as a band.  Shifting base is always difficult, but to move as a team takes a little more than the usual. This determination is captured well in the music. They have a laid back vibe with a forward moving motion in the music. Their style is hard to pigeon hole. There is a folkie soul backed by loads of prog-ish rhythms and undertones of alternative, garage music from the 90’s. All these influences create a unique vibe.

Nouns, their debut album, is a myriad of sounds. The songs go from hopefully hopeful tunes to angular riff cuts across mourning vocals. It gets dark but never dark enough as there is light at the of this tunnel. It is loaded with 3 minute pop tunes that has been said to leave you with the desire to hear it all over again.

The four of them are childhood friends which reflects in the music. The bonds are deep and like any relationship that stands the test of time, is not trouble free. The band has toured across India and Nepal since the release of their albumhaving played at major venues across both countries. Since closing out their album tour with a performance at Orange Festival, Dambuk back in 2017, the band has gone on to play at various festivals - Ragasthan in Jaisalmer to festivals held among the North Eastern hill ranges, college festivals and recently at India Story, Kolkata and Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Pune.
