A New Generation of Rock

By Zeerak Ahmed

Design: Essa Malik

The rise of Bilal Khan, the Aunty Disco Project & Uth records has signaled the coming of a new generation of rock music from Pakistan’s renewed underground scene. After the rise of Noori and eP, along with Indus Music, the VJ generation and a post Junoon revelation, it seems that generation of rockers will take a new place in Pakistan’s rock industry.

The energetic rock anthems have since become somewhat hollow, and as Pakistan’s politics and society have hit new rock bottoms, rock has had to find new issues, new emotions to deal with. It seems the big guns have had to deal with social issues, and bringing audiences back together.

5 Minutes With Yasir and Jawad (Interview)

We sat down with the band that has recently gained popularity through Uth Records and talked about their work, experience with Uth Records and possible future endeavors

1. How did the band begin? How do you define your sound?

The band began with Yasir on Rabab and Jawad on Acoustic Guitar in 2008, which was an experimental stage, where both would try to blend the sounds of the two instruments and try to create folk music with a contemporary feel to it. The results were pretty good. People liked the blend. It was in 2010, that Wali Aurakzai joined the band as a lead vocalist, and as a result of further experimentation, the three created Pashto folk melodies with a very modern feel to it.

The sound of our music is Pashto folk melodies put into the perspective of Pakistani contemporary modern music. Our aim has always been to portray Pashto music in such a modern way, that people almost forget the language and enjoy the Pashto feel of it.
