Salaam Shalom (Cheb i Sabbah The West Bank Remix)

Formation of this band took place to fulfill the deficit of original, experimental music in the local scene. The band was formed in 2006 with its three founding members Rishabh, Himanshu and Shivam bringing in with them their own taste, flavor & style of music. Himanshu being hardcore metal lead, Rishabh with his classical background and Shivam with his “demental” funk music (pun intended). Later on joined by Akash and Gaurav, the band became more versatile and with such diverse musical inspirations & playing style these men drew courage to break guidelines, to work beyond the predefined genres of music.

The band at present is working out on sound that defines ‘Indian gospel’ mood. The lyrical content is such kept that it keeps up to the mortal connection with the supreme, and to keep this music appealing and ‘happy’ funk sound is used. Thus the band has come up with this new style of music “Bhakti Funk”. 
Apart from that we also are into Progressive Vedic Metal.

After spreading the music and earning appreciation of our home-town Lucknow, the band has moved to Mumbai to record our first studio album, under Trishank Entertainments, directed five prominent singers from Bollywood : Shaan, Kunal Ganjawala, Suraj Jagan, Sherya Ghoshal and Krishna Beura for the movie. There are seven songs in the album of which two songs are sung by Rishabh himself.

The band started off their journey performing at various gigs catering to collegiate and city audience. Rishabh won the “IDEA ROCKS INDIA 2008” north zone and performed and shared stage with Sunidhi Chauhan. Shivam won solo instrumental competition organized by Onstage in 2009. The band secured third position at “Junoon Indie Rock” competition at IIT-K 2010. The band did an opening act for Parikrama and Prestorika and shared stage with Crimson.

The band has also conducted music workshops at ISB&M Pune and is looking forward to do so at Corporate houses and Ngo's.
