Give us an introduction
about yourselves?
We are Fahad,
Umair, Umer and Ahmed & we all are committed to each other
and are fully dedicated to what ever we do. To describe our
selves in few words, we are atheistic, dedicated and persistent.
The band consists
of how many band members? And what role do they play?
The band consists
of 4 members at present. We have Omair on Lead Guitars, Fahad
on Rhythem Guitar, Ahmed on Vocals and Umer on Drums. However
we are on a search for a Bass Guitarist.
When and who
initiated 'False Alarm' to form?
Our story is
strange, yet very interesting. Fahad and Umar are playing
music from quite a few years. Being in the same school, I
never knew that our vocalist (Ahmed) and lead guitarist (Omer)
were also playing music for quite some time. It was until
last year when Umer and Ahmed came up with an idea of performing
as a band at our school party. We had our first jam, just
to see how we 4 collectively play. That was the day when we
decided to joint as a band.
What does the
band name 'False Alarm' mean and how did u come up with such
a name?
As far as we
think, the name 'False Alarm' means to get the souls elected
as to instigate every one's heart who listen our songs. The
band's name was suggested by our very close friend Faizan
Zahid', before that we came up with quiet a number of names
for our band ranging from Urdu to English but, we all 4 found
that 'False Alarm' is an appropriate name for our band.
How long have
you been involved in the Music?
Its about an
year now. It is just for fun and to spread the intensity of
our music. To be honest, music had been a legacy for us from
the morel our music environment throughout Pakistan and through
out the world.
What kind of
music do you play? And what are its musical influences?
We like to play
and obviously play heavy metal, fusion, pop etc. our musical
influences are due to those famous personalities who worked
very hard to play music & to develop the whole music scenario
in our beloved country, here we are proud to take the names
like Amir Zaki, Asad Ahmed etc.
What is your
prediction of your debut song 'Awaz Do Mujhko'?
We believe that
our debut song is a good one, as it comprises of a fusion
of Rock & Pop elements. Simple yet very catchy composition
& lyrics, hope you all would listen to it & may like
it.
Who helped in
composing the song? Tell us more about your song 'Awaz Do
Mujhko' …
The initial
song writing process is the hard work of Omer & Ahmed.
They came up with the composition & lyrics while Omer,
Umair & Fahad gave it the final touches so as to make
it as perfect as possible.
Have you had
any musical training?
Only Fahad took
guitar tuitions for a couple of months from a music academy
named 'Funsaaz' while Omer, Ahmed and Oair did'nt took any
formal training its all their inborn talent.
What do you
think, should a musician have the basic knowledge of music,
is it important?
Obviously, it
is very important for every musician to have a basic knowledge
of music so as to make it feasible for their band members
to coordinate with each other. A good musician should be dedicated
to what he does and possesses a basic education on music as
music is a soul for a body.
How do you plan
to promote it in the current media scene?
Well 'E Paki
Music' is our first source for launching our music. We are
really looking forward to comply with 'E Paki Music' in future
as well.
Do you plan
to release some more songs, before the VDO that is?
Though we don't
have plans for a while being to release any video but we are
composing some new songs and planning to make an album as
soon as possible.
Where do you
jam your songs?
We usually jam
at Omer's place.
How do you think,
can the current media scene, support in rising the underground
bands?
The current
media scene is a very good source of promoting underground
band. They infact are the main source for less matured bands
which are enriched with talent to come up and prove them selves
at.
Have you ever
performed live on stage? Which has been your most memorable
concert of all times?
We have performed
quite a couple of times and had been a great experience for
us. Most memorable concert of all time was our live performance
at our school i.e. St. Micheal's Convent School on 21st April
05, in which we rocked the party.
What are the
feelings that you go through before a show and after it?
Before a show
we are determined, confident and always ready to deliver the
best. And after the show we enjoy the compliments from those
who liked our performance.
Future Plans

this mutual understanding with each other, would the best
out of us and would soon be planning to make a couple of videos
and a music album.
