Seven years after
bursting into Calcutta’s music scene with its emotionally
charged brand of original alternative rock, Cassini’s
Division continues to make fresh and innovative music,
earning accolades and adding to its considerable fan base.
Cassini’s Division, as always, continues to evolve and
develop its distinctive brand of hybrid rock, fusing
elements of hip hop and pop music with soaring anthemic
melodies and the power of heavy rock music. Lyrically as
well as musically the band has developed a more inclusive
approach thereby reaching outside the rigid confines of
stereotypical genre-based sounds.
Essentially a power trio fronted by a rapper/ singer, the
band’s live act is what sets it apart from run-of-the-mill
rock groups. The Cassini’s Division live experience is one
in which the wall between the performer and audience is
torn down, leading to a free flow of emotion where the
listener and band become almost one through the spiritual
power of the music. While frontman Rahul Guha Roy brings
the audience into the music with his inimitable charm and
unflagging energy, John, Sukanti and Ludo provide both
solidity and power, thundering through the set with
confidence and élan. It is this unusual combination of
vastly different musical personalities and sounds that
make a Cassini’s Division gig truly special.
