Music CDs of Indian (Rock) Bands

[shanindia]

I am looking for the CDs of Indian bands like Agni, Indus Creed, Indian Ocean etc. Any particular site where I can get these albums at one place?

Many bands have the songs for download at their site, but not all do. Some of these bands are quite good with some great albums.

Few albums are available here: Music (CD & LP) International Indian Bands Rhythm House

The best way to get Indian band album is to search for the websites/ blog/ page whatever and contact them directly. They are the best person to tell the source from where you can get it. Often you can buy from the band members.

Music - Buy Music Online at Best Prices in India - Music, Movies & Posters | Flipkart.com

This list contains many Bengali Bands from Calcutta as well as from Bangladesh. :yahoo:

You can also try and look for information of cds or RSJ Online

The best way to get your hands on these CDs is contacting the band through facebook and asking about the availability! Some of the very few websites that do sell are Bajaao, Flipkart etc. If you're looking at the digital copies then you can try oklisten.com
Keep supporting the Indian Indie Scene bro
Cheers!

Thanks for the responses, its helpful. Agree that directly approaching the bands should be the best approach.

The RSJ site is nice to know about Indian bands' latest works. Another good source of reviews is Rolling Stone India; it has quite good coverage of Indian rock scene.

Also you can try webizines, websites like NH7 | Discover new music from India and around the world and metalbase | for the metalheads by the metalheads where regular updates on artists and bands are available.

I got few cassettes of Indian rock bands from RSJ during the mid-90's....those GIR I, II etc... But somehow I lost/ damaged all of them. But lucky got few sites from where I was able to download them... but frankly speaking I am unable to find any source in order to buy them in CD version.

I went looking for GIR copies, and stumbled upon the site Amabilis Insania

I have seen this site long time back. But I guess, they have converted from tape to mp3 and uploaded on the site.

Just bought today and still enjoying the album Evolve by Indus Creed. Bought the cd from flipkart.

Can I make a suggestion?

I think the challenge is *knowing* which Indian bands exist, and some subjective opinions from people who have heard them. Once we know which bands to focus on, it is much easier to use Facebook and Google etc. to get more info such as their discography, where/how to buy their albums etc.

Can we start an effort to compile such a list, please?

Apologies for taking this thread a bit off-topic, but I think it sticks to the original intent of the thread.

Thanks,

I am very interested in this thread. I have some Indian albums that I can share.

My favourite Indian artists are Zero, Menwhopause, (ex)Motherjane, Parvaaz etc.

@shanindia - I have the albums you are looking for.

Anyone else have Indian albums they are willing to share? Stuff that are not available on online stores?

There are quite a few Indie Bands featured on kappa.tv. Most of them are Kerala/Malayalee based bands (the website is, too). Check out Kaav and Thaikoodam Bridge. They're pretty good.

You have ACD or mp3?

You have ACD or mp3?

mp3 but most of them are in 320kbps. You have any old Indian stuff?

I had few in tapes. But don't think they will work anymore.

Just bought today and still enjoying the album Evolve by Indus Creed. Bought the cd from flipkart.

I ordered three albums from Flipkart yesterday:
Evolve - Indus Creed
The Silent Sea - Advaita
The Very Best of Indian Ocean - Indian Ocean

Evolved is well produced, from what I could judge listening on Youtube

Saw the Advaita album on Flipkart alongside the Indus Creed one. Checked it out on Youtube and promptly ordered it as well. They got very nice sound.

I got couple of albums of Agnee (mp3, downloaded from their website). Might go for the CD soon. :thumbsup:

The Indian version of MTV Unplugged sessions also sound good, might get them soon. :licklips:

Great idea. I have compiled a list of bands in the spreadsheet below. This is not exhaustive list; rather these are the bands I heard and liked. Feel free to add to the list.

This would help discover new bands which others have already listened to and liked.
