"I-Rock XXIV is back"

MUMBAI: It's that time of the year when we say 'thank you' rock. There is a lot to look forward to this week as 40 rock bands, five cities and 25 days later, Independence Rock XXIV is back to the place from where it all started: Mumbai.

Considered as the biggest rock festival in the country, Independence Rock has given a platform for acts like Indus Creed, Zero, Pentagram, Parikrama and Agni. This time, eight Mumbai bands are set to pit against each other for the coveted title starting from 30 September at Not Just Jazz By The Bay.

The bands selected for the Mumbai zone are; Zygnema, Safar, Human Abstract, Joy and the Ice Creams, Rosemary, Summerpint Junkie, Depth and Echoes. The participating bands in this years Independence RoCk have been a mix of metal bands, alernative, and rock acts. In addition, Hindi bands (like safar) is a welcome change, but its too be seen how the audience receives them. Meanwhile, winners from Bengaluru (Inner Sanctum), Kolkata (Gravy Theory), Pune (Abraxas) and Delhi (Seize Her) have already been shortlisted and are set to perform on 3 October for the National Grand Finale. The Mumbai finalist will compete with these bands.

The most sought after day among I-Rock followers, the pro bands night has a healthy mix of popular rock and metal acts. Among the bands playing on this day are Channel [V] launchpad winners Reverse Polarity, Bhayanak Maut, Silver (I-Rock 2008 winners), Warren of Strat Blues (a band to look forward to) and AVIMA award winners Motherjane. Earlier, blues act Soulmate were also slated to perform for pro nights - too bad they are not performing. Below is all the info you need.

Bio

We believe we have an original sound that does not fall within most parameters of conventional time signatures or verse-chorus patterns. We are not bound by any one emotion and sound from one song to the next. We have an eclectic bunch of OCs that we hope to perform as much as we can and more.
