It has an increasing fan following with a revolutionary approach in today\u2019s contemporary music scenes in India. Now Avial is one of the most sought Indian bands today, transcending genres, justifying the term ‘Alternative Malayalam rock’.<\/p>\n

\"pathayam\"<\/p>\n

Pathayam, a band that has a wide variety in the taste of music, players of different genre coming together and getting down to the roots of their folk tradition with a whole lot of themselves. Have fun listening. The success of the band that already has a huge fan following on YouTube seems to be the simplicity of its members and their work.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

Black Letters is a high energy and fast paced rock act from Kochi. The band is famous for its infectious energy and significantly variant song writing.

\"Jhanu\"<\/p>\n

Inspired from Avial, Jhanu is the regional rock bands that perform songs written in Tamil. The band sings about whatever comes first and goes with the flow. Jhanu sings about love, discos, God and everything else. They don\u2019t have one specific type of music but if they have to give their genre a name, it would be called \u2018MOJO Rock\u2019 which basically means \u2018all out energy\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Coshish\"<\/p>\n

Coshish is a progressive Rock band from Mumbai. The band fuses elements of progressive rock, with the more easily acceptable mainstream song writing styles of Hindi Rock. Their songs carry very strong social messages, delivered beautifully through Hindi lyrics. Coshish leaves little to be desired by ensuring that they do not compromise on any facet of their music.<\/p>\n

\"skrat\"<\/p>\n

Skrat is an alt rock trio of 24-year-olds from Chennai. The three bonded at 18 over a common love for The Foo Fighters and the dreariness of life at an engineering college.\u00a0\u00a0 They got gigging six days after forming the band in 2006 and released an album titled \u2018Design\u2019 in 2010.\u00a0 In an environment of predominantly metal music, this original-rock act got the crowd and went on to play over 100 gigs, and counting. This includes most of the major cities in South India, Mumbai and an independent festival in Reading, England.<\/p>\n
