Luke Kenny Head Programming Channel [V] who has known the guys Adam & Eddie Avil for their early days says "If there was any award for a band having the passion & believing in their music then PRALAY would win it hands down." C.P. Joseph-CEO, Raga to Rock Records says "These guys are the workers at the Temple of Music irrespective of the rewards that they reaped in terms of Fame & Fortune." To sum up the Pralay story in the words of Adam Avil would be "It all began in 1989 when we were seriously injected by gods greatest drug…rock 'n' roll… it changed our lives giving us a vision a dream, a goal to strive for. Through the long journey together we have seen the good, bad, sad and the mad things in this world of ours…. Retaining whatever we believed and stood for our music is very much a reflection of our personal experience and things we relate to…which we would like to present it the way we see it… musically we have always struggled for our very own sound…. We are ever evolving and always exploring new sounds… as Indian we have been brought up on a healthy dosage of Indian film music and Indian classical music, which we believe if blended properly, could create…. The magical, mystical, musical portion … which has been missing in a major way since the 60's and 70's period. Since the bands inception till now there has been countless changes in fellow musicians… but nobody's to blame except our 'blind express era'. We strongly believe in our self and the music we create…originality is what we truly respect and compromised on that we have never. We can proudly say that we are one of the few bands to play original and be original… "14" is a culmination of the long journey of blood, sweat, tears, emotions, pain etc. over the last fourteen that we have spent in the pursuit of having our music being heard along with the 5 videos we have made, we hope you like listening to it as much as we had putting it together. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
