Fire Exit
New Delhi, India
Though for purposes of entirely official nature, we like to categorize Fire Exit as a band that plays “Progressive Alternative Rock”, we truly believe that it falls in the category of bands that are almost impossible to categorize under one single genre of music. Our music is a combination of rock, metal and electronic sounds. The band essentially blends great vocal melody along with instrument harmony, and is based on experimentation with varied time signatures, jazz-influenced bass-lines and an Indian percussion instrument. But at the same time, we like to keep our music simple. As a group of musicians brewing our styles together, we also lay equal focus on the way we “sound” live and on record, giving importance to not just what we play, but also how all that playing comes together and mixes when it comes out on speakers; hence immense stress is laid on the production of our tracks. Our focus as a band is to create a sound unique to the band, with varied styles of rock, metal and psychedelia coming together for great listening pleasure to both the common listener and other musicians. We lay stress on improving our songwriting and playing as we grow together as a band, looking to create mature and sensible music.
