For front man EPR Iyer, guitarist Adil Rashid, bassist Bubbla and drummer Sourish Kumar, their band, Underground Authority — as the name might already suggest — was born out of them coming together and finding their voices resonate in each other. "Addressing social issues is one of the reasons why we even joined forces," says Rashid.

Rap-rock is a unique genre of protest music, which gained both momentum and currency most visibly in the '90s. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, P.O.D and Rage Against the Machine's songs have served as the background score to perhaps every millennial's teenage-angst years. And so it might not be wrong to presume that tonight's gig in the city is a reason for many to celebrate. Known especially for being vocal about issues plaguing our society and writing conscientious music, the four-piece band is set to unleash a new sound and a new look upon their audience. "This particular line of shows that we will be playing is based entirely on our new sound, which is a little groovier than before," Rashid tells us.
