Swarathma – Bangalore’s much loved folk rock band, Swarathma is about to release their new album, Topiwalleh very soon and Weekender is going to be the platform where one gets a little preview of what the album’s about. It’s going to be quite a set, to say the least.

Having been part of the initial independent music scene in India, they command and attract a loyal following. Their most recent album release is Bloodywood.

Soulmate – Anything that hails from North East India is assumed it to be good stuff. In the case of Soulmate, this assumption lives up to the assumption. One of India’s pioneer Blues bands, the vocals is extremely energetic and heartfelt. A must watch for blues and jazz fans.

Tough On Tobacco – An alternative rock band from Mumbai, this band’s been famous for their crazy live acts and lyrics. Fronted by Sidd Coutto, the everywhere man, this act will be full of energy that will definitely reach the audience at some point.

Singh (Amogh Symphony), Sunneith Revankar (Bhayanak Maut, Amidst The Chaos), and Nikhil Rufus Raj (Indigo Children). This pop-metal act is a must watch simply for what the line-up does and of course, for their unique sound.

King Creosote – Kenny Anderson, known primarily by his stage name King Creosote,is an independent singer-songwriter from Fife, Scotland.
