“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.
