Pod#77 - Kashmir! The Band!!

Kashmir (the band) is on the show! Following right up with last week's episode with Faraz Anwar, here's another episode around Pakistan's music scene! The lads were kind enough to spend an hour with the show talking about a whole bunch of things spanning their +8 year long career. From being relative unknowns, to their explosive debut on the national/international stage and eventually winning the 2017 Pepsi Battle of Bands, to all about what an act has to do to succeed as full-time musicians without the structure of a real music industry in the country and much more! Zair Cam! Aatank Chords! Great chat. Check out the breakdown below and also all the links to them and their work!
