Circus Police is an experimental rock quartet. The policemen aspire to reshape the Bangladeshi music industry with their distinctive sound and style. The sound of the Circus blends in influences from various genres and solidifies it with philosophical song-writing.
Circus Police was formed in 2008, with Anik Raiyan and Zaved Sarkar on the guitars, Khaled Chowdhury on the bass, Zulyad Islam on the percussions and Zaki Adnan as the singer/song-writer and composer. They jammed for about a year to develop the right chemistry and understanding before they performed any live shows.
Anik and Zaved carried on their pursuit of higher studies across the national border, while Khaled went off to explore other aspects of life, leaving Zulyad and Zaki all by themselves. Fortunately enough, two promising young talents came forward to lend their musical prowess to the Circus; Tanjib Chowdhury with his guitars and Azfar Rahman with his bass. With months of bonding and playing together, the sound of the Circus completely transformed and started taking an original shape.
