Popular Rock artists/bands of Nepal


The most prominent Rock artists/band in Nepal are 1974 AD, Nepathya, Mukti and Revival, Robin and the new revolution (Robin, from the band Robin and Looza), Looza (minus Robin) etc. New artists are emerging with the emergence of media.shanon Scam is on the rise due to their hardcore punk music.

And there is a new group named UNDERGROUNDKNOT, they specially support underground scene in Nepal.

The Last Tranzition is still going on with their experiment for new taste and wanna rock but are not getting any response from any of the organizer because of lack of proper support. Bands like 72 hours , Vhumi, has released their album and getting a great response today.

Band like The Last Tranzition is with their hard work and enthusiasm that they are in this field of music otherwise they have already left musical field. They are still struggling for their right that they must get till now from last 4 years.

Who do you think are the best Rock Band of Nepal - in terms of originality, creativity, message, talent and skills with instruments and popularity. Most of the rock bands that are popular in Nepal lack originality - they just take some folk song and evolve it into a rock pattern. I am looking for bands whose music is truly unique and original at the international level. A band that would rock if they had a English Version playing on MTV. Some of the well known names in Nepal are:

1. 1974 AD
2. Nepathya
3. Robin and the revolution
4. The Shadows
5. X-Mantra
6. Cobweb
7. Mukti and Revival
8. Albatross
9. Nastik
