HISTORY
It was the era of rock bands in Kolkata when the brothers, Pushpendu Roy and Debdip Karmakar, thought of forming a rock band. They were then joined by Sekhar Prasad as bassist. But the search for the vocal and drummer were still in progress. During its initial months, the band went through a series of names, starting with Vintage Factory and Roxygen. In the midst the lead guitarist Pushpendu Roy got a job in Prime Focus and went to Mumbai, but after working for a couple of months the passion for music made him return back to Kolkata. They again rebuild the band and thus they named the band as REBIRTH – Born Of Ashes. But the position for vocalist and drummer was still not fixed and went through a lot of experiments. In the time being Akash Lal Das joined the band as the rhythm guitarist. They first appeared in a college band competition known as Crossroads. After this show the band got many opportunities to perform, but due to the absence of drummer and a perfect vocal they missed those shows. Then the band found Dipanajn Naha, who joined them as a drummer. The band then picked up pace and made their first composition named “SOHOR”. The band then appeared in the fest of Netaji Subhas Engineering College at Nazrul Mancha, which is a dream place to perform for the rock bands of Kolkata, and got a good response from the people present, for their composition SOHOR. After this they found Soustav Naskar as their lead vocalist and Dipanjan Naha got replaced by Rajarshi Dasgupta, who became the permanent drummer for the band. After experimenting with a lot of sounds, the band fixed their genre to NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE ROCK, but sometimes the band experiments with their sounds and thus them also fits in the genre of Experimental Rock, Alternative Rock and Hard Rock.
