KRAKEN: Clowns Aren't Funny After Midnight

The Delhi-based outfit are one of the most exciting talents in the metal space right now. Winners of several prestigious competitions and having toured metal-crazy Eastern Europe, the band released a critically-acclaimed EP, Lush, earlier in 2017. Guitarist Moses Kaul's incessant riffing here is the perfect backdrop for the dual vocal attack.

AVORA RECORDS: Sunday

Blending rock, soul, R&B, jazz and pop, the band is a staple across clubs in the North-East, especially their native Aizawl. With a couple of massive competition wins under their belt, they're in fine form! This song is simple, yet effective, with some fantastic singing.

ZOKOVA: And We Burn With It

Fans of progressive rock, listen up! The three-piece instrumental group from Delhi have been causing conversation in the indie music scene over the last few months, and for good reason. This particular track weighs in on the heavier side of post-rock, and is a delight.

LATERAL: Crash Right Into

Formed by a brother duo who form part of progressive rock act Lucid Recess (who have played the festival before), Lateral brings a unique guitar-meets-electronic brand of music. This track was made with GoPro footage from their gigs and is extremely atmospheric with all those layers!
