Even if we are madly crazy about global chart-toppers and sensational musicians around the world, still there are just a few musicians who can really up the ante with their music. For a while let’s keep aside usual international singers and lend an ear to homegrown wonderful musicians who can give a tough fight to popular bands like cold play and The Beatles. Not kidding!
List of top 10 Unknown Indian Musicians that will rock your playlist:
1. The F16’s
Yet another Electro-Rockers band formed in 2012, listening to them will give you a vampire weekend vibe and not only this with each track they are raising the bar. Their latest album, WKND FRNDS that released this year is nothing less than a star even by global standards. The F16s give you major 80s and 90s groovy vibes and with them, the party starts in the middle of the week.
2. The Koniac Net
The Konica Net was nominated as the “Best Rock Act” at the 2014 VH1 Sound Nation Music Awards VH1 Sound Nation Music Awards. They released their first album in 2012 and after 7 good years on, their latest album, They Finally Herd Us has been garnering all the right kind of attention.
Think of globally popular rock artists, or band and substitute each of them with any of these popular Mumbai-based band’s tracks. A perfect blend of alt and hard rock music with no two tracks sounding similar, yet catchy enough to swiftly become one of the most frequently played songs on your playlist. The Koniac Net was the first Indian band to play in Helsinki & Harjavalta (Finland).
3. Peter Cat Recording & Co.
These people need no introduction to the music scene since they’ve been around long enough to establish a crazy fan following. And also managed to create a separate genre of music that has now become very typical of them. Their latest album, Bismillah is creating a buzz in the indie circuit.
4. When Chai Meets Toast
You won’t stop shaking your head to their tunes!
If artists like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers are on your playlist, then ‘When Chai Met Toast’ absolutely needs to be heard by you. Their chors sounds something like the musical equivalent of a pinball game. The band calls its music “happy” and you can see why.
5. Easy Wanderlings
Soothing melodies easy listening perfectly describe Easy Wanderlings’ music. The touring band was also awarded the Chill Song of the Year at the VIMA Music Awards 2019. Easy Wanderlings songs have a calmness in their songs which directly touches your heart.
6. Dhruv Visvanath
Dhruv, commonly known for his magical guitar solos and indie music. His guitar beating/spanking made him rage and he continues to serve up music that hits all the right notes!
Currently, my personal favorite is Botswana – for the lyrics. Not just this you can binge listen to all his tracks.
7. Tanya Nambiar
Tanya knows what it takes to be popular in the music industry, started with a band in 2012 and switched to solo in 2015 re-launching herself with fresh tracks. She has created quite the stir at music festivals and recently won the award for the Best Overall Female Act at the VIMA Music Awards 2019.
8. Cinema Of Excess
Their 2018 album, Bring Back The Sound is what it must be like when music makes love to a person. Their track, Thing About The Colour Blue is like a sweet serenade that never leaves your ears even after the music is over. The Bengaluru-based band draws a lot of western folk, indie-folk and country music influence that comes together rather beautifully with the acoustic trio. Give a listen to Light Of Your Life while you’re at it.
9. Arunaja
Arunaja is a multi-talented fire starter with vocals that put famous Indian musicians to shame. In a day and age when most budding, as well as established musicians, are opting for the commercial, herd-ist mentality of opting for a repetitive formula, Arunaja takes the old school road and gives you a song that’s equal parts soulful and relatable; no matter who, or where you are. Her latest release Broken already on top of the list.
10. Raghav Meattle
The Stage and aside from becoming a popular face established himself as a formidable artist. Most have already heard Meattle’s Songs From A Matchbox; I recommend listening to Back In Time if you’re looking for easy afternoon melodies to enjoy while you stare out the window while contemplating or looking at life. Major John Mayer meets Jack Johnson feels in a nutshell and you won’t get enough of Meattle’s vocals. Raghav Meattle is one among the famous Indian musicians and producing stunning tracks every year.
