It's been almost a year since we launched Headbanger's Kitchen on Youtube and the journey has been fantastic and one that would not have been possible without the vision and resources of Srinivas Sunderrajan and ENTER GUERILLA FILMS. I am indebted to them for not only bringing this idea of mine to life but taking it way beyond my imagination and expectations. Their work has been nothing short of world class but unfortunately Episode 8 is going to be the last of our journey together.
Goddess Gagged-Resurfaces

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.
Interview: Akshat Vaze(What Google Can't Find)

IMR: Hello, Akshat Vaze! Okay, so before starting with the interview, it would be great if you could give a brief run-down about the bands origin since younger days?
Akshat Vaze(WGCF): WGCF started off as a onetime thing for me and the drummer, Aashish, back last year when it wasn’t a band. We were called to be a part of the instrumentation of a German theatre group known as "Bunte Buehne" which was a part of "Max Mueller Bhavan" here in Pune. So we, I don’t know why, stuck around for a couple of months and we played around. We actually started off as a German cover band. We officially started off in July/ August of 2010.
Rosemary-A Legacy Of Ruined Days(E.P)
Published in Album Reviews
Alternative Rock is a nascent little creature in our culture. It’s hard to define what exactly it sounds like since the term is usually employed as an umbrella to describe a wide spectrum of musical styles. Mumbai band ROSEMARY has been a target of observation ever since they won Strawberry Fields and showed promise of becoming interesting practitioners of their own unique style of Alt Rock/ Alt Grunge. The trio have finally arrived with their first EP called THE LEGACY OF RUINED DAYS and a disappointment it certainly is not!
IMR: Congratulations KASTADYNE for the launch of your latest album HOVER. Also, I would like to thank you guys for taking time to speak to us regarding your latest effort as it has been almost 3 years we met on this side of the globe. So, how has the album been recognized so far and any specific significance behind the album title?
Sheldon : Thanks IMR for featuring us. The overall response to the album so far has been splendid. The album is slowly gaining popularity; people seem to like this one better. The album title ‘HOVER’ is inspired by one of the songs in the album titled COME HOVER THE EARTH.
