GODDESS GAGGED. A name I’ve been particularly keeping a watch out for. I don’t want to compartmentalise their music but I see a plethora of sounds in their music- PORCUPINE TREE, KARNIVOOL, TEXTURES, OCEANSIZE and a good amount of Post-Hardcore influences, each an elite from its respective genre of music. It is pretty cool how the GODDESS GAGGED sound has been shaped from a variety of these influences. I have mentioned the names of artists along with a review of each track to give a flavour of the album.

Bangalore based Progressive/Experimental Metal quintent CHEISRAH are probably one of the most refreshing and new one to the circuit. They took the scene in May 2011, hitting both on and off stage and with their new EP, OMG! SHE'S HERE.

Funk/Alternative rockers from Chennai, FRANKS GOT THE FUNK, fool the listeners in many ways. Firstly, their logo is a skull wearing a hat and smoking a cigarette and no, it’s not a Slash influence. Nor is their music Hard Rock or Grunge. Second, it has a very dark, sinister look about it, which is contrasting to the music they make. 5 tracks and 23 minutes of your life is all FGTF takes of your time to drown you in delightful, melodious, harmonious ‘funk’isms. All this, through their debut album +HE NEX+ LEVEL.

If you are someone who misses the good old days of Rock n Roll music, then maybe this album is the best company you can have at the moment. TUNES FROM THE BIG BELLY by The SHAKEY RAYS, a four piece Chennai based outfit brings back the golden days of Rock N Roll music through their impressive Original music. It is highly recommended to those who have an ear for experimentation and also who are fans of the music of the 60s and 70s.
Before I start off with the E.P. review, a small preface. BLUE SKIES AND PAIGN is the solo project of Saib Bilaval, an independent musician from New Delhi. A few of you who read my reviews would know I say this a lot, but in a time and place where metal music is like those electric mosquito attracters, it’s hard to be tempted to try anything else and expect to get noticed (except the Classical and Fusion genres obviously).
