A bunch of like minded individuals making music which strikes the balance between being entertaining and experimental

Since I was 16 I've been recording like a mad man.
I have been lucky enough to meet other madmen.
We formed a band called Colossus.
Go get lost in a world of wild and wonderful guitar's.
I implore you :)

For over ten years, Chennai based four piece The F16s have been churning towards an ongoing refinement of their vision. From their 2013 debut Kaleidoscope, to the 2014 studio tie up with Converse that birthed "Nobody's Gonna Wait", through to their 2016 breakthrough "Triggerpunkte", this vision has mirrored both a maturity of execution and a certain gravity from listeners worldwide - as ten million plus Spotify streams and coverage in StereoGum, Brooklyn Vegan, Variety and Sirius XM clearly suggest.

Then came “Is It Time To Eat The Rich Yet?”. Borne of an extended evolutionary sojourn as authored from an observer’s distant stare, the record focuses on intimately experiencing how a global pandemic needlessly compromised not only the lives of millions here in India, but more personally their own. This music explores alienation with lyrical wit intact - “dancing to our doom” as one member frames it - via a wide reaching musical craftsmanship that serves to pull listeners in, almost by the juxtaposition of these sentiments; A joyful celebration of the human condition under duress, scored by some of the finest pop music this country has on offer.

The band have plenty more on the way, embarking on yet another national tour to cement themselves as one of the country's most bankable independent acts while training one eye on international attention.

A musician par excellence Suraj is a not just a rock poet, he is also part philosopher and all heart. Something that shines through in each word of every song, all of which are a labor of love and offered up in complete honesty.

Lovingly called 'The Singing Sensei', by his fans, for his body of work with the legendary Indian band Motherjane*, Suraj takes us on a fresh new journey that showcases his prowess as one of India's finest - poet & songwriter.

Do yourselves a favour and savour this wordsmith's musings in entirety, because they shine, bright and lustrous in your mind, long after the last note fades out.

And that’s why it's Art - pure, unpretentious and unrepentant.
