Mumbai, The band - Pranab Gohain (vocals), Swapnil Bhumkar (bass), Virendra G Kaith (drums), Sumit Bhattacharya (guitars) and Prasad Ruparel (guitars) - has been around for about four years and has been wowing fans and critics alike through its performances, headlining at college and cultural fests across India including the Kala Ghoda Festival (Mumbai), where the band has played two years in a row, and corporate events.
The band will be performing a series of shows around the country to promote the eight-song rock album. The first of the shows will be at Landmark, Infinity Mall, Andheri West, Mumbai, on February 5.
The songs on the album are a reflection of Prayags philosophy of sounds from distinct shores intermingling to create a new river of thought. For example, Bas Karo, the opening song, is about the terrorized Indians plea to the government, while the second song, Langur Gaya Sheher Dekhne, is a critique of human civilisation. Kehdo Kabhi (track six) and Kal Akeley (track four) are straight-ahead ballads while Raaste (track seven) and Udaan (track five) are the bands forays into heavier, guitar-driven rock territory.
The album is available at most major music stores and chains across the country, including Landmark and Planet M. Overseas listeners can download the album from http://indiandigitalaudio.com/products/Udaan.html
