Linkin Park

Linkin Park

LP was my introduction to western music. I walked in on my cousin Furqan rapping to In The End and I was hooked. The themes of their writing have ranged from political to personal and the angst of all the inadequacies that come with these comes out in this blend of grunge, rap, and rock that I have yet to see recreated.

Haken

Haken

I enjoy vocals in most of the music I listen to, possibly because of the subcontinent I grew up in where most music is vocal-led. I enjoy modern progressive rock without vocals, which is why absolutely love Animals as Leaders. Haken fits a similar picture for me, it doesn't feel robotic, the vocals have a wide range of expression to them, and the drums always surprise me.

Joe Satriani

I found Joe through a curious coincidence. During Android 4.0+'s rise, someone ported Sony/Ericsson's excellent music player to all Android phones and posted it on XDA Forums. The demo screenshots featured The Extremist's cover art with "Cryin'" playing. Joe's guitar work caught my attention, though I didn't explore much of his music.

Thank You Scientist

Thank You Scientist

An old bassist friend of mine introduced me to Thank You Scientist through live recordings of FXMLDR and Mr. Invisible. The unpredictability had blown my circuits. What was next? Saxophone solos? Lithophones? Goats?

Adrianne Lenker

It's all so simple, yet you carry such sadness, Adrianne, and somehow you make me feel it too. She writes with unflinching honesty and crafts dissonant soundscapes with technical guitar parts.
