Rock music in India has few takers. If it’s in English, it’s a death sentence. As rock aficionados growing up in guitar starved hinterlands of the country, we wonder why we can’t kick ass when it comes to those feral frets.

Now Indian rock music has steadily held on, slowly morphing its sounds to reach out to its audiences, no matter how niche they are. Millennium, India’s very own heavy metal band from Bangalore opened up the floor for heavier sounds on the Indian rock circuit. Slowly rock scene seems to have become a melting pot of influences, and comes across as more open to experimentation than bands outside of the country. Add to it the plethora of options to experiment with, the rich and diverse Indian classical and folk music. This is where Indian rock bands have an edge, and a chance of creating sounds quite distinct from mainstream rock elsewhere.

The rising popularity of western music competitions and college gigs that attracted fresh talent in India caught the attention of music channels. Channel V launched its new look with focus on youth, and came out props with its obvious support for Indian pop and rock bands. Unlike MTV, Channel V focused more on the underground music scene, and not on Hindi film music. It made sure that other forms of music earned their fare share of limelight.

College fests at IITs, IIMs, and other premier institutes, and independent events such as Great Indian Rock, Campus Rock Idols, Independence Rock (iRock) found sponsors, helping boost the quality of participant bands, and opening the stage for newcomers all over India. Rock had finally made inroads into cities apart from metropolises.

NOW Finally we have a huge number of Bands as following:
