When you think Alternative Malayalam Rock, Avial comes to the mind in a flash. The band from Kerala broke into the Indian Rock scene with the self-titled studio album in 2008, and went on to win several awards on the national stage, building up a huge fan following along the way. But the band has been witnessing several changes ever since their lead vocalist left the outfit. However, things seem to be looking good, as the four-piece band gear to perform in Mumbai on May 22 and later, in Singapore on May 25.
