Artist History
Band bio:
Four schoolkids had a vision- to form a band and
play some decent music till graduation do them
part. Growing up in New Delhi, India with no
rock ‘n’ roll support system to speak of,
they tried to realize it with ‘LynchD Pain’
in March of 2001. The four played through
school and even though they sucked ass then,
they were the new novelty value. The
initial line up was Akshay Chowdhry: Vocals,
Sumant Balakrishnan: Guitars, backing vocals,
Tushar Vig: Drums and Karan Sud: Bass.
They played a couple of mediocre shows through
till the end of 2001 until Karan Sud decided
to disembark at the end of the year.
Graduation came and went and the three remaining
members decided that they wanted to try and
write a few songs of their own before fucking
off to college. With a rock scene as bleak as
it was in their country and with only a handful
of bands barely garnering domestic attention,
the idea of working their way up a broken
ladder seemed pointless. They began to concentrate
more on their own songs than covers and
recorded their first ever demo in the early
months of 2002. Although the recording didn’t
satisfy them, the song ‘Clone’ which showcased
innovative guitar effects and a memorable
chorus, received positive feedback from friends
and family and suggested that perhaps a future
in songwriting wasn’t a distant possibility.
The following months saw the induction of the
bands new bassist, Dushyant Purohit , 19 .
Also hailing from New Delhi, Purohit met up
with the band in the summer of 2002. He fit
the bill perfectly and the band after some
practice, went on and played one of its few
and far between gigs at ‘Planet M’, one of
the bigger music stores in the city. The show
was well documented in the local papers( big
deal you might say, here it is!). They then
went on to record their second demo CD. The
demo however turned out to be more unsatisfactory
than the first due to a less than adequate
studio with an even more inadequate financial
budget. However, the songs recorded-
Freak Show, a rap metal (how cliché) groove
that played around with electronics, a
rerecorded version of ‘Clone’ and the bass
driven ‘Drywall’ were decent songs but
somehow failed to invigorate the band. They
chugged along and were forced to go their
own ways since they were now Freshmen.
With only a demo in hand, the band members tried to get as many people into Barefaced Liar’s music in their respective colleges- Drummer Tushar Vig, currently ‘studying’ in New Delhi and Sumant (Guitars) and Dushyant (Bass) in Pune, a student town near the city of Bombay and Akshay ‘studying’ Communication at The University Of Southern California. Many responded positively to the tunes, but the band themselves felt that they were capable of better.
The four reassembled again in the winter of 2002
to record yet another demo in a record 4 days.
This proved to be more at level with what they
wanted but not quite. They had some outburst
success with the song ‘Nebula’ which was on
that demo which was well appreciated and is
still featured on some websites . They split
ways again to resume college lives.
At the current timeline, they have recorded a
4th (and hopefully final) demo which is featured
here on their website, check it out.
