The winter of 2000 witnessed the emergence of one of the most extreme Indian Metal acts. PDV, the five man chaos-squad consists of Pradeep on vocals, Vispy "V.A.S.P." on guitars, Mithun "Pervert" on guitars, Rohit "P-man" on bass and Ashwin on drums. PDV was the vision realized by Pradeep and Rohit after wanting to create a movement and also to create awareness in the underground rock circuit about hardcore music. "The music was getting stale; everyone was doing the same ol stuff, same covers, no originality. Thats where we decided to step in", says Rohit. "Our brand of music is novel, the cutting edge of rock so to speak. Its the music we relate to, about social issues. It reflects the mind set of the modern day youth" says Pradeep.
With competition victories and gigs all over the place, PDV has created quite a wave in the underground rock scene. With an electrifying stage act, PDV has gained a reputation of being one of the most explosive live acts. With competition successes behind them, which include, TEC 'Resonance-2001', Mumbai's R.A.I.T's Horizons-2001, where Pradeep won best vocalist, PDV has had numerous appearences at the Pub Razz Rhino. PDV has won the first ever Independence Rock competition at Rang Bhavan at I-Rock 16, 2001. PDV has also won IIT-Kanpur 2003, and been finalists at IIT-Mumbai Livewire 2001, winning best drummer.
PDV has also played at the 17th Independance Rock show on 15th August 2002 at Rang Bhavan, Mumbai. PDV has been featured in the BBC London documentary on Indian Music entitled "Bombay Plush". Besides Mumbai, PDV has unleashed their fury in Bangalore at NLS Strawberry Fields 2001, Pune, and Hyderabad "Jammin - Rockfest 2002", and at Goa Engineering College, Goa, at the Turquoise Cottage, Delhi. PDV has also played at numerous college festivals all over country. Another highlight is their composition "Full Body Burn" being featured in the Throatlatch Studios Compilation Album - Deepthroat. 2004 will witness the release of PDV's debut album - "compose...oppose...dispose"
