Your comments
about the local music scene ; as in the underground ?
-its growing everyday! But the problem we ev noticed is
that most of the undergrounds are sticking to the one sound
that got success in the recent times! So that’s the sad part
of our music industry!
Whats behind
"Azad Hun" ?
Its all bout the misconception we have about freedom, we all
think that we r free and yet we r not! We keep living within
the world that our society shows us! And we keep following
the footsteps that are already there, rather than creating
new footsteps that lead to a new path we keep following0 the
old ones. We believe we are free yet we are not
"Yeh zindagi,
Jeeney na deyy geii mujhe,
Main Azad hun
barhatey nahin phir bhe qadam
How has internet
changed the music ?
-Internet on one side is making a huge positive change in
the music scene as its become a platform for new artists to
release their originals and get recognition but on other hand
biased websites can also make a negative impact on the music
scene, there are websites who are not willing to release a
track bcause of some personal rivalries. But all together
it has promoted loads of bands.
Your future
plans ?
-working on our songs, recordings under process at eggcrates
studio Lahore, n then also working on our debut vdo aswell…
Words for
Epakimusic.net ?
-very well designed, not as complicated as other website which
adds to its value. Keep rocking!
