Vadodara Based Band "Sulphur Snow"

Today as a part of #SupportLocals initiative, we are here with Vadodara Based Band "Sulphur Snow". 

The Band “Sulphur Snow” was formed 4 years back i.e in 2016. Four members of band ie Adhirath, Akhil, Ivan and Srujan unitedly came up with the idea of forming the band. They wanted to work on original music and wanted to create songs that meant something to them. In their own words they wanted to sound “musically, lyrically, and sonically.” They wanted to speak on real feeling and issues that were tapping their minds, convert them into music that excited the band as musicians.

They consider each other as their mentor as they have learnt a lot from each other.

Definition of success keeps on changing for everyone. When the band was initial stage even writing a song was a big challenge. But today they have written 15 original songs. But in their hearts they had this feeling that what they want to convey through there song, if there message is conveyed to even one random person, then that thing means a lot to them at personal level.

Each member of bands have different inspirations, but unitedly they share some common interests. Some bands made a great impact to their career like “Blaclstratblues”, “Plini” etc. They are also inspired by Indian indie bands like “AsWeKeepSearching”, “The Local Train”, “Thaikkum Bridge” “Parvaz” etc.

They are hardly sticked to any genre of music. But in the broader sense they mostly play “Rock” and “Progressive” kind of music.

Sharing about their most memorable moment, they remember their very recent experience. At IIT Kanpur’s annual fest “Antragini” 2019, they were selected to open for “When Chai met toast.” When they got on stage to perform, the entire ground was empty. They started performing and at the end of their first song there were around 500 people cheering for them. By the end of their entire performance there was about 5000 people on the ground, listening to their music and enjoying it.

On asking them about how they keep themselves motivated in the city where the bands scene is quite dry. They responded quite positively. They said that it’s just the matter of time. Things are picking up at Local scene too.

On a social point they are involved with “Bhookh Mitao” Campaign in Vadodara. They have composed few tracks for them as a part of this campaign. Apart from this, they work anonymously for various social campaigns in Vadodara.

The indie music scene and community is super tight in Vadodara.  They feel bands here are hardly competing with each other but are unitedly working to keep the scene alive. At Vadodara level, there are some awesome bands like “Tailored Heaven”, “Labyrinth”, “Duneheart”, “Flood of Mutiny”, “Shashwat Bulusu”, “The Malakar Experience”, “Sarhadein”. All this bands have grown because of mutual support and admiration. At Ahmedabad level they find some awesome bands like “Heatsink”, “Mukt” and “Meera” who are making it big. All this bands are unitedly creating indie music scene togather and keeping the indie music community of Gujarat Alive.

They have performed and won at various rock bands competition in leading colleges of India like IIT-Kanpur, IIT-Bombay, IIT-Kharagpur, IIM-Indore, and MSU-Baroda. They like all their compositions, out of which “Ho Tum” has got lot of love to audience. They are thankful to Compass-Box Live Sessions which got them so popular. They are also collaborating with a few talented musicians. There recent collaboration was with “Lokesh Dadhich” who is an amazing Flutist.
