They are back! Some of the coolest tunes of the year! Love these guys.

RIP Dusty. One of my fave tunes.

Next, check this one out. It's good music. My guess is you will find it hard to fault this one.

Very unpopular.

What a year of good music it's been so far!

Awesome news!!

Looks like they take their domestic league more seriously than all these international tournaments. What a lackluster performance that was!

So true, especially after last night's hammering of Portugal, they sure look like serious contenders now.

Both are awesome! What a wonderful month! First Midnite City, then Lebrock, and now these two.

My fave modern rock release of 2021 so far. Loveless - Loveless l

Possibly... Still 6 more months to go but this one's gonna be hard to beat. A tad better than Midnite city as of now.

Sweden gets my vote.

So good.

Yep my hometown. It's a tiny place, the second smallest state in India situated in the far corner of the north east region with a culture and apparently even appearance, that's totally different from the rest of India lol. However, this is the birth place of rock music scene in the country. Every third person is a rock music lover haha. And the only state in India where so many international rock acts like Firehouse, Mr. Big, Stryper, White Lion, Vinnie Moore, Neil Zaza, Petra, Helloween etc have performed. We also host the Hornbill international rock contest every December which is the biggest in our country. So ya it's a place for rock music lovers.

Right that's a good comparison.

These guys have released just two singles so far. What an absolute cracker of a song this one is. Stunning. And this one is their lastest single :

Yes as of today, we have two - Covaxin and Covishield. Covaxin, India's indigenously developed vaccine, has shown the efficacy of 78 per cent. On the other hand, The AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine 'Covishield', has an effectiveness of 70 per cent. Thankfully, as far as I know the caste system has no role in this ongoing pandemic. The govt is urging all citizens to get vaccinated. Not sure though whether the country has enough raw materials to produce vaccines in that scale keeping the population in mind.

So many reasons. The strict lockdown that was imposed last year slowed down Covid-19 pandemic in India giving the authorities time to ramp of requisite infrastructure but it forced people to be cooped up in their homes for long. Covid-19 protocol too came in along with the pandemic. Wearing a face mask, washing hands regularly and maintaining social-physical distance was advised and those who did not follow were penalised in some cases. Many people actually ended up spending about one year inside their homes, practically locked. So, when cases started declining, people just broke out of the ‘shackles’. Gatherings began becoming large particularly January onwards. Rules were relaxed. Penalties were not enforced. Even in metro trains of Delhi, Mumbai and Bengalore, people could be seen travelling without wearing a face mask. The pattern was seen across the country allowing the virus to create a second and possibly stronger wave. Another reason is state elections that's currently going on in many states. Prime Minister in his speeches emphasised keeping the vigil against the Covid-19 pandemic. But in these states, even his party leaders and workers did not care to follow the protocol in organising political rallies for elections. The queues outside polling booths and gatherings at the election rallies of all the parties defied Covid-19 protocol. Increased testing is another reason why India is detecting more cases in the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. By the time, the second wave hit India, the availability of Covid-19 testing had improved tremendously compared to the first wave situation. Secondly, people were generally reluctant to undergo Covid-19 testing during the first wave of the pandemic. A lot of cases with mild symptoms never came up for testing.

Love that.. Cool song

Agree. Very underrated.

Excited. Very happy to know the Vega twins are involved.

Essentially an electropop artist but this one borders on synthwave.
