Guess what? Silversmoke‘s back! It’s been a long time since any news came out regarding the rock band from Islamabad but deep down we always wanted this day to come, and it has!
Since its inception, Silversmoke maintains its ideology: Creating good, clean, mature rock music. With a new lineup, that is exactly what the band plans on delivering.
Here’s Sawaal, the first single the band’s releasing after Zakham with the new line up.
Yasir Jaswal, the former lead vocalist of an Islamabad based ‘Irtaash‘ has now joined Call The Band. Mr Jaswal’s inclusion in the band means that Call has now got a new vocalist after they announced the exit of earlier lead vocalist Junaid Khan almost a year back.

Artist: Yasir Jaswal
Song: Khizaan
Produced by Sarmad Ghafoor & Yasir Jaswal
Recorded at SnM Studio Islamabad
After giving massive hits like Tu Nahi, Shab Dhalay, Hum Nasheen and Khauf, Yasir Jaswal, the former front-man of Irtaash, is back with Khizaan. This is his first solo track.
“It saddens me to tell you that Irtaash will not be playing performing or making music. We are disbanding. We might individually follow our musical calling but not with Irtaash, maybe later on in life, but for now it’s a wrap. It’s been an emotional 10 years but it’s been worth it.”
Irtaash – Yasir Jaswal, Farooq Shah, Umer Sohail, Muhammad Talha and Ali Nadeem, has decided to call it a day as a band.
One of the most promising rock bands, Irtaash which started to storm audiences everywhere when it was formed back in November 2001 and soon became a big name in the underground scene of not only Islamabad but Pakistan, has just released a teaser of their debut album “Kala Safaid Aasman“.
With the original Line-up back, Irtaash is all set to release its debut album, which has been produced by Sarmad Ghafoor at S & M Studios Islamabad, in May 2011. The album, which consists of 11 alternative rock songs (Raastay, Humnasheen, Shab Dhalay, Kaali Raatein, Musafir, Irtaash, Zehar, Tu Nahi, Lori, Khauf and Nakhray), will hit record stores almost after a decade of the band’s formation. During these years, Irtaash has released numerous chart topping singles and music videos.

Humnasheen in English would translate to be an associate, that’s what your relationship with the song becomes as soon as the first strum, the electric guitar intro is played and the first line is sung, all hinting immediately that the song is a winner.
As the song progresses it becomes absolutely certain that the first impressions were not falsified at all. The song is about remembrance of times gone past and the desire to re live them. The song also talks about the fact that mistakes happen and misunderstandings arise but a good way to set them right is to step in to the others shoes in order to properly asses what they go through.
