Your musical influences
We are influenced mostly by the trendy Indian form of musicïIndian classical, folk etc. Definitely, western music inspired us a lot in the time of composing and arranging a song. We like to listen Heavy Metal, Blues, Jazz, Latin music etc. The Bangladeshi band Miles inspired us a lot to found our loving band. Aerosmith, Scorpions, GunsïNï Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Van Helen, Megadeth, John Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Judas Priest, Queen, R.H.C.P, Pink Floyd etc. are the mentionable rock bands we would like to listen anytime. Santana has helped us a lot to develop a Latin form of funky arrangements for our compositions. B.B.King, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits are the favorite most amongst the Blues bands and the soloists. We are all very much fond of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Michael Fath, John Pettrucci, Vinnie Moore, Marty Friedman, and John McLaughlin and of course the god father of Rock Guitar ï JIMMY HENDRIX.
