Indian Folk-fusion band, Swarathma, which is set to perform at the upcoming edition of the rock music festival ‘Independence Rock’, has shared its connection with the legendary English progressive rock band Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd, which started as a British psychedelic group, is regarded as one of the greatest bands of all time with its distinctive style of extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows. Its lead guitarist, David Gilmour is known for crafting many iconic riffs including the one for ‘Comfortably Numb’ and ‘High Hopes’.
Talking about their connection with Pink Floyd, Jishnu Dasgupta, the bassist and vocalist of Swarathma told Ians: “A few years ago, we worked with legendary producer John Leckie on the British Council sponsored Soundpad project.

The sophomore jinx is deadly for any rock band looking to grab some longevity. No matter how much buzz a group has surrounding its debut, the second album is still a treacherous road to cross. On this day in 1995, a band started out on that road after scoring a breakout hit single from their otherwise underwhelming debut album. They began a brief tour to promote their second album, which would initially land with a thud but eventually attracted critical acclaim. That band was Radiohead, and that album was The Bends.
When Radiohead's "Creep" first ascended to radio-dominating status in the fall of 1992, most people simply looked at the group as a more English version of the grunge that had already been flooding the airwaves for a year. Full of crunchy riffs and anthemic self-loathing, "Creep" was a pretty good pop song but didn't even vaguely hint at the sort...

Rihanna has once again received a recognition from Brit Awards. On Thursday, January 13, the "Only Girl (In the World)" hitmaker was unraveled to be a nominee for International Female Solo Artist at the U.K.'s annual music awards this year. It is her third time being nominated for the category since 2008.
The 22-year-old Barbadian singer lost the title to Kylie Minogue in 2008, and has to admit defeat to Lady GaGa in 2010. This year, she is facing stiff competition from two previous winners, Kylie and Katy Perry, four-time nominee for the title Alicia Keys, and "Indestructible" singer Robyn.
Out of those five nominees, Katy was the only one collecting more than one nod. She bagged International Album nod for her "Teenage Dream" effort. It puts her in direct competition Eminem, who also vies for International Male Solo Artist, as well as Arcade Fire, Cee-Lo Green and Kings of Leon.

Well, better late than never. With the release of stereo and mono box sets, individual album reissues, and their own edition of Rock Band, The Beatles finally have stepped into the 21st century in a major way. Now, younger generations will have the opportunity to crush just as hard on The Fab Four's musical output as those of us who, for decades, have sustained a serious relationship with Beatlemania. And the best thing about these releases? Falling just outside of Apple's 40th anniversary year (ending this past August 26th), the formidable foursome's imprint, along with Emi, has dusted off the old masters' cobwebs and refurbished every track of every release, utilizing Allan Rouse and the Abbey Road Studios team for the massive undertaking. In a recent interview with Examiner.com, Rouse revealed, "No album or track was more challenging than another...

The album that ushered in the spiritual awakening of British music still reminds how dangerous the collision of rock and dance can be
Mentioned in the same breath as The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band and the Sex Pistols’ Nevermind the Bullocks, The Stone Roses’ eponymous 1989 debut managed to demolish the last whispers of the whiny reign of the New Romantics while signaling a global and sonic revolution. The Berlin Wall was falling, China devoured its young on Tiananmen Square and this brash, glamorous quartet from Manchester took it all in, translating roiling change into an epic work of prophesy and danger. On “Elephant Stone,” singer Ian Brown laments that there’s “a hole in my dream,” but these Baggy Princes were dreaming for an entire generation, ushering in a spiritual awakening of British music while demanding “I Wanna Be Adored,” and simultaneously insisting “I Am the Resurrection.
