Iqbal Asif Jewel, the singer and guitarist of Miles, had previously released “Rock 101” in 2005 with bands from the new generation, which caused a huge stir in the rock music scene and this time in succession to the effort, Mr. Iqbal graced us with three new albums, titled Rock 808, Rock 909 and Rock X0X, with 34 local bands representing today’s youth as participants.
On the occasion, an album launching event and concert took place at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture on April 18, brought to the market by G-Series.
“The underground bands are the voice of future. The key intention of this consecutive attempt is to endorse these bands. The recognised bands who performed here today were part of Rock 101. So our endeavour has not gone in vain.” said Jewel.
Bands involved were, Black, Arbovirus, Mechanix, Avoid Rafa, Karnival, Shrapnel Method and Minerva, who performed at the concert following the launching event.
