Euphoria

Indian music never really took off as a band based music market. It was always dominated by Bollywood and individual singers and composers.
The rock band market place was mostly for college bands and would die down as the participating students' college got over. And the career conscious that Indians are they got down to their regular jobs. Just like sports, music industry was at a loss too. Talentdrain. To monotonicity. To mediocrity of an economic safety and social conformity.
So besides the Bollywood (which behaves like a high class party, entry by invitation only) and the Pop Singers (Like the dudes who have too much money, and often negligible talent decided to host their own party).
Not that these people are not good. Bollywood has produced some great music. But they tend to be repititive. And since the number of people limited so theres no variety.

Nevertheless among all this one band came out. It became quite a success. They had their own type of music. They refreshed us whenever they sang. Euphoria!! I dont know quite a lot of thier history but I guess Palash would be the backbone and 4 more very talented guys. Topped by the fact that he is a doctor.
This is nothing but a tribute to Euphoria. Hope to have more such bands like yours in Hindi music.
