The band members don't need an intro but we'll still go ahead with their names. They are Ali Azmat, Brian O' Connell and Salman Ahmed. Well won't we all just love something as crisp as an English album? But then good things don't come that easily. According to a very authentic source, (Ali Azmat!) they've only recorded a couple of songs as demos
. |

| The rest of the songs will be recorded in the States in September. And once the album is completed it's going to be released in USA and UK first. And after
their international release it will come to Pakistan. An Urdu album will be in the pipeline after November, 2002.

E.P(entity paradigm)
E.P stands for Entity Paradigm and it was declared the second best band in "Pepsi Battle of the Bands". The band members are Ahmed, Fawad, Waqar, Abid, Salman, Hasan, Xulfi, and Sajjad. Fawad and Ahmed are familiar faces as they perform in a comedy serial on TV. The album is basically going to be alternative
rock |
 |
| It
has a lot of experimental and electronic sounds and will not have any commercial bits and pieces in it. Ahmed, one of the two vocalists, believes that even though it will be ready in two months, it will be around early next year that the album will hit the market!

5.
A.K.S
The band members are Aiman, Hammad Farooq and Ali Tim (ex-Milestones, ex-Aakash) and they are surely making waves. The entire feel of the album is pretty different from what we usually get to hear these days. That's partially because there hasn't been a band with a female and male vocalist singing together since Nazia and
Zoheb. |
 |
| It's basically a pop-rock band with classical influences. According to Ali, Aiman is a real rock singer who is very versatile and has done some duets with
Hammad, who is professionally trained in eastern classical music. Their first video
"Neela Aasman" was shot by Nasir Tehrani, which got them on the scene. The album is due in September and will be released with a remake of the video
"Neela Aasman", but this time by Haseeb from Indus Music. The band is off to Africa, for their first ever performance there. |
