Event Description

Pacifist:

Pacifist is a Mumbai-based post-hardcore/emo band known for their intense, emotionally charged sound that blends emo, punk, hardcore, and post-punk influences. Rooted in the chaos of urban life, their music channels raw emotion and urgency. Lyrically, Pacifist explores themes of urban angst, personal struggle, societal frustration, and apathy, reflecting the lived experiences of navigating a fast-paced, overwhelming city. The band first gained attention with their 2019 debut EP, Greyscale Dreams, which established their reputation for honest storytelling and visceral soundscapes. Since then, Pacifist has continued to evolve, releasing powerful tracks such as “Running Out,” marked by tight production and a refined sonic direction. Drawing inspiration from ’90s hardcore and modern post-punk, the band is steadily shaping a sound that speaks beyond borders, aiming for a global voice within the alternative music scene.

 

Simple Man Radio:

SimpleManRadio is a three-piece rock and punk outfit formed in 2022, born from a shared vision to transform real-life experiences into raw, honest music. Blending grit, energy, and emotion, the trio has steadily carved a space for themselves in the independent music scene. Their latest music video, captures the highs and lows of the human experience; true to their sound, the release delivers a punk-fuelled anthem that reflects both intensity and vulnerability, reinforcing the band’s commitment to storytelling through high-energy rock music.

 

Rascals Of The First Order:

ROFO is a rock outfit hailing from Bengaluru, delivering face-melting riffs wherever they go. After commanding the stage at the Parx Band Hunt South Regional Finals 2022, the band quickly made its mark across numerous college festivals and venues throughout South India. In 2025, ROFO released their five-track debut concept EP, Caged Authority—a volatile fusion of hard rock, grunge, and experimental sounds, driven by vivid storytelling that mirrors the raw intensity of their music. Known for their DIY ethos, multi-genre approach, and high-octane stage presence, ROFO continues to carve out a distinctive identity in the Indian rock scene.
