We are an Alternative rock band from New Delhi (India). We usually cover bands like Pearl Jam, Creed, Nickelback etc. but we are working more towards our own self-compositions now.Band/artist history
The original lineup of Cyanide was formed during school days back in 2001 which consisted of Dhaval Mudgal (Half Step Down) on Vocals, Rohan Solomon on Guitars, Bharat Bindal on Bass, Rahul Sainani (Joint Family) on Guitars & Shardul Mehta (Joint Family) on Drums. After Dhaval graduated, Rohan decided to take up vocal duties and the band recruited guitar player John Sangtam to handle the leads.
The band mostly performed in school and only decided to get serious after winning Pepsi Storm 2002 an interschool competition held at IIT Delhi. After school the band played a few shows and gained some popularity in the Delhi rock scene. However in late 2004, the band split up. Rahul & Shardul went on to form Joint Family and Rohan & John formed Vorpal Scythe. Bharat had a short stint with AVR during this period.
The band came back with a bang in early 2006 minus Rahul & Shardul. Rohan took up guitars along with the vocals. The band is currently gigging with guest drummers from FTN and Half Step Down and is in the process of releasing an EP.
The band has a wide variety of seemingly unrelated influences which some say forms the basis of the uniqueness of their sound. Influences include Porcupine tree, Pearl Jam, Dream Theater, Alice In Chains, Creed, Nickelback, Crossfade, 12 Stones, Mr. Big, Pearl Jam, Steve Vai, Breaking Benjamin, Sevendust, Incubus, Story Of The Year, U2 and many more.rockinpeace's station
