College festivals often act as fertile breeding grounds for young musicians looking to form a band. At least, that's what happened in the case of Strike Three, a musical act in which the oldest member is 24 and the youngest, 18.

"We were participating in the band competition at St Xavier's College's Malhar festival in 2015 and one of the categories that year involved writing an original song. We liked what we did and thought we would stick it out -- that's how Strike Three came to be formed," says Craig Fernandes, the 21-year-old vocalist of the six-piece band.
