Jhol – Nasha (KM Single Review)

Nasha - JholSome time back I had a chance to listen to a song named Nasha by a local underground band somewhere on radio if my memory serves me well. The band’s name was Jhol and I instantly found their sound catchy and something that could remain in your head for some time. And then recently I got to hear that they are coming up with a video which was said to be something that was never made before in Pakistan. Although I don’t get much time to listen to underground bands but this was something that I specially took out time to watch and I must say that they didn’t disappoint me.

Jhol was formed back in 2010 when couple of like-minded kids got together to pursue their common dream of music. It was the mixture of funk/rock that was going to be their identity. Jhol started with Rohail Lashari and Jahanzeb Sukhera on Guitars and were later joined by Imran Iqbal on vocals.
