Susmit Sen, founder and guitarist of fusion music band INDIAN OCEAN recently launched his first solo album DEPTHS OF THE
OCEAN on 17th January 2012 at Landmark, Andheri(Mumbai) via EMI MUSIC.

MENWHOPAUSE is a Delhi based five member outfit that was formed in 2001 by Anup Kutty, who also happens to be the former editor of the Indian edition of an International Men's Magazine. One of the first bands to distribute their music for free over the internet, MENWHOPAUSE is currently one of the premier bands of the country. One EP and two successful albums old, this Alternative Rock band is the only one till now that has been sponsored by ICCR, the cultural wing of the Government of India, to perform at Ausin, Texas, in the prestigious SXSW Festival, where they were invited to perform, which also made them the first Indian Rock band to get this honour.

If you had ever thought about Fusion music losing track nowadays, with so many bands mushrooming out of nowhere, claiming to be flagbearers of Fusion music, you are recommended to give a listen to this musical masterpiece from MRIGYA, a premier and prodigious six-piece Fusion band from Delhi. What they bring out in their debut album, THE COMPOSITION OF WORLD HARMONY, is genuine expertise over the various aspects of Hindustani Classical and Sufi music, blended with the abstractness of Jazz and Blues, Latin, Rock etc.

Psychedelic/Progressive Metal band INFIDELS OF SANITY from Pune is out with their latest track titled OCEAN RIP on their Reverbnation page.

PARIKRAMA is starting their new season with a bang opening for PORCUPINE TREE and also touring a 3 city tour with Farhan Akhtar.

ROCK STREET JOURNAL is happy to announce two major fests coming soon!

These are the lines that come to my mind when i think about the scenario of Indian Rock/Metal music in my very own motherland India. What started as a rebellion of rebels has come to a phase of enlightenment, something that you don't imitate or get carried away when others do it. It is something that is less materialistic more realistic and not a sorry or angry state of mind, and since it is true it follows the laws of nature.
