History
Date Of Formation: July 1st, 2009.

Cryptic was formed in 2009 in Jabalpur and was founded by Pulkit Tyagi. He began searching for like-minded musicians to complete his band. After being transferred from Bhopal to Jabalpur in 2008, he met Kunal Singh- The lead guitarist and after a few jamming sessions he invited him to join Cryptic. Some time later, Pulkit heard Himesh- The keyboard player and Mayank- The drummer jamming together. Impressed by the skills of both, he offered them to join the band. Then he ran into Osheen- The bass guitarist and after listening to him he took him in the band. But still after all this, Cryptic felt a void within and soon came in Amit Majumdar, the Rhythm guitarist of the band who has been playing music for quite a long time. This was the final piece they needed and the band soon started their journey with the best.

Music Style
Cryptic’s sound primarily falls in the alternative rock genre. A well composed song, personified with honest and heart felt lyrics and spirited rhythms, will eventually be heard by manifestation of emotions expressed in an energetic and harmonious manner. Cryptic is not limited to any particular genre of music. They have played what they have been listening to. Though the band primarily revolves around alternative rock genre, they also reflect soft/hard rock, grunge and metal.

Cryptic- The Name
The name- Cryptic is a dictionary ingredient and is an English word which simply means “mysterious in meaning”. But the band is neither mysterious in meaning nor do they show it in their songs. Though the word has some secretive emotions towards people, the band is the opposite of the word. It's a simple logic, whatever the name is, it is not important that your music should be related to your band's name. They like the word and they are proud of it.
