Graffiti is composed of five members Tauseef Dar and Zahid Awan on Vocals,
Cecil S.Chaudry on guitars, Omar Yousaf on bass and Fahad khan on Drums.
Zahid was the lead vocalist for one of lahore’s pioneer underground band called
“midnight madness” in the mid 90’s. Tauseef was part of an underground band
called “damajed” and is a well established play back singer for the film
industry. Cecil and Omar played for a well known underground band called The
Trip. Fahad khan has played for bands like coven, dog tags and is currently
playing as a session drummer for fuzon and mekaal hasan band
.
These musicians were instrumentals in the growth of the underground rock scene
of Lahore starting in 1992 and remained on the rock scene till late 2000.
The songs are mainly reflection of feelings experienced in everyday life but
expressed very directly and boldly. The band drives inspiration from a varied
type of artists and bands , stemming from the late 70s legends like pink floyd,
led zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Deep purple, etc to great musical acts of the
80s and 90s like U2, Sting, Alice in chains, sound garden, Dave Mathews band.
This greatly helps in defining a diversified sound for their music. Tuaseef’s
eastern classical vocal training adds the extra blend in the overall sound they
produce.
The band has recorded their first song “YAQEEN” along with its video and the
remaining album is currently being recorded.
