Xarb
Xarb is a 5-member rock band hailing from Lahore, Pakistan. The band members include Qamar Parvi, Saud Anver, Mobeen Zahid, Shayan Ahmed and Shahzeb Khan. The fame of the band grew after performing covers of songs such as Madam Noor Jehan’s ‘Jhanjhar Di Pawan’, Shahnaz Begum’s ‘Sohni Dharti’, Nayyara Noor’s ‘Watan Ki Matti’, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s ‘Dam Mast Qalandar’ as well as an original called ‘Deewar’ during the ongoing Pepsi Battle of the Bands season 3.

Guitarists Zahid and Anver, who went to university together, have known each other since 2005. However, it was not until 2008 when Parvi joined the band that Xarb was born. Current Xarb lineup, however, came about in 2011 after Khan and Ahmed, who were initially part of another band ‘Mothership’, joined the three.
