The members of a musical outfit usually operate out of the same city. They get together in one of their homes and frame a composition bit by bit. Heck, some band members even live in the same flat, as is the case with Hindi rock biggies, The Local Train. This allows them to reach a common ground more smoothly, apart from getting more shows.

That's why the process that Faasley followed to release their debut single, Iraade, is off the beaten track. All three members — Varun Dhabe, Shashank Joshi and Parth Yadav — are kids whose fathers had served for the Indian Army. They have been constantly uprooted from one place to the other in their childhood. But their parents eventually ended up in Hyderabad in 2014 and enrolled them in the same school. That's where the trio met and even played in the school band together. But once their board exams were over, they parted ways again for college. Dhabe went to Nagpur, Yadav to Chennai, and Joshi came to Mumbai.
