Shepherd and Death By Fungi will be promoting their upcoming Split and playing their new songs. Save the date, it's going to get HEAVY! P.S Creative credits to the talented Art of Vineet S Roots is the revival of the specially curated gigs we've been bringing to the suburbs and bylanes of Mumbai for years. Every month, BAJAAO Entertainment and antiSOCIAL will conjure the forces of music and put together a line-up, showcasing some of the finest acts in the independent music scene. SHEPHERD is a Bangalore-based sludge/heavy rock band that's been making waves in the underground since its coming together in early 2011. Drawing Influence from the guitar driven sounds of early 90's hard rock (Soundgarden, The Melvins, Eyehategod) and 80's hardcore punk (Black Flag, Discharge), the band has built a reputation for itself as an ever-evolving and unpredictable heavy rock entity. Mirroring the rage are Mumbai’s razor-edge hardcore band DEATH BY FUNGI, started out as guitarist vocalist Vrishank Menon’s solo project in 2012, adding members over the years (drummer Aryaman Chatterjee, bassist Kamran Raza and vocalist Tabish Khidir). With two EPs (Death By Fungi - 2015, In dearth of - 2016), the (then) trio proved they can stomp their way through a near non-existent punk, mathcore and hardcore landscape in the country. Now, with four new tracks this year, Death By Fungi are pitching the hardcore flag with precision, a rawer, aggro sound that recalls everyone from Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Brought to life during the early months of 2014, Killchain - India are a Death metal band from Bombay, India that are greatly inspired by the sounds that dominated the genre during the 90's. The band has since then played club shows and co-headlined college shows alongside some of the greatest that the India underground has to offer. The band has been one of the few who led the new wave of bands to arise from the city with major old school influences. Known of its intense live performance, Killchain has managed to play majaor club venues in Bombay, Pune and Bangalore. Demonocracy are a Thrash Metal band from Mumbai with Old School tastes. They promise to bring on the heavy which will leave you with a good taste in your mouth. One of the upcoming acts from the city that will definetly deliver a heavy blow on your jaw.
