'''Indian rock''' is a genre of [[popular music]] in India that incorporates elements of [[Music of India|Indian music]] and [[mainstream rock]] and if often topically India-centric. While [[India]] is known for its [[Hindustani music|northern]] and [[Carnatic music|southern]] classical music, etc, the Indian [[Rock music|rock]] scene, and has produced numerous bands and artists. Various [[Non Resident Indian]]s and [[Person of Indian Origin|People of Indian Origin]] have also formed bands rooted in Indian culture.

== History ==
The article does not establish any kind of notability. In the opening sentence "''who performed alongside other prominent females like''" is meaningless, hundreds of wrestlers perfomed alongside Terri and Madusa. Holding the [[IWA World Women's Championship]] does not establish notability, and the imdb entry shows only four films on her resume, all four of which were bit parts. Essentially she is a bit part actress who once held a Women's wrestling title for seven months twelve years ago. Not notable. [[User:Darrenhusted|Darrenhusted]] 11:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
===1960s and 1970s===
<small>
There has long been a rock movement in India, especially in cities like Bangalore, where during the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]], the emerging genre in the west gained a following. Renowned acts such as [[the Beatles]], [[the Rolling Stones]], [[The Doors]] and [[the Byrds]] were notably influenced by [[Indian Classical Music]] as a way of reinforcing the [[psychedelia]] in their music.
*<small>'''Note''': This debate has been included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Wrestling|list of Wrestling-related deletions]]. </small></small>
 
*'''Strong Keep''', very bizarre nomination. [[All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling]] is notable. [[Ladies Professional Wrestling Association]] is notable. She was involved in another that was also plenty notable. <s>Latest in a string of questionable AfDs by the nominator</s>. Actually, forget that last part, I was mistaken. &mdash;[[User:Xezbeth|Xezbeth]] 11:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
===1980s and 1990s===
*'''Comment''', there is nothing to this article, when I PROD-ed it I said that a PROD removal will lead to AfD. And don't forget notability is not inherited, just because she was involved in a notable fed does not make her notable. The article needs more than an imdb ref.

Whilst the [[orientalism|orientalist]] trend of the 60s and 70s was by the 80s and 90s largely over, India itself has continued to produce bands in various styles of rock music, from soft [[rock and roll]] and rock pop, to [[hard rock]] and [[heavy metal|metal]]. With the arrival of [[MTV]], tastes rapidly changed, encouraging bands to harden their style and focus more on underground styles such as [[death metal]], [[alternative rock|alternative metal]], [[progressive rock|prog rock]], etc. The 1990s saw the rise of a much larger following of various harder styles for this reason. Bands that had formed in the 80s, such as Rock Machine, (who would later be known as [[Indus Creed]]), altered their style with the influx of newer techniques and influences from the west. Others formed in the 90s with harder styles influenced by the growing split between popular rock, (such as [[Britpop]]), alternative styles, (such as [[punk rock|punk]]), and metal styles, (such as [[thrash metal|thrash]]) - the last of which many considered to be truer to the roots of rock music, and the legacy of hard rock bands from the 70s. The Indian sub-genre of fusion, which encourages a similar blend of ancient Indian musical traditions with rock music to [[raga rock]], was also carried forward, and is perhaps the most unique Indian style of rock.
* '''Weak keep''' Fairly notable, additional info should be added, properly created. [[User:Wikidudeman|'''<font color="blue">Wikidudeman</font>''']] <sup>[[User talk:Wikidudeman|(talk)]]</sup> 11:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 
*'''Comment''', from the notability guidlines:
===2000s and onwards===
:''"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but less than exclusive.
The current Indian rock scene has a larger following than ever, (although is still marginalised compared to filmi music), and with the advent of globalization, may soon be recognised in the international arena, as various South American and Japanese bands have become. Recent entries into the rock music scene are increasingly becoming comparable in production quality to western bands, have been compared favorably to other internationally recognised acts, as critics wake up to the Indian scene, and digital technology allows new ways of these bands to achieve distribution and sale. Some British bands of South Asian origin, such as [[Swami (musical band)|Swami]] have, like their hip-hop counterparts, tried to enter the Indian market in addition to maintaining the traditional fanbase of non-resident Indians in [[Britain]], [[Indo-Canadian|Canada]] and the [[Indian American|United States]], and others such as [[Rudra (band)|Rudra]] have emerged from Indian communities in other Asian countries.
:''"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject are a good test for notability.
 
:''"Sources," defined on Wikipedia as secondary sources, provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred.''
== Rock and Roll ==
Those massive boxes below the AfD box are there for a reason. [[User:Darrenhusted|Darrenhusted]] 11:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
[[Image:Dahnoltirockfest.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Parikrama]] performs at Dahnolti Rock Fest]]
India has produced many rock bands, even some that have made it into mainstream Indian music, and achieved some international recognition. A good example of this is [[Indus Creed]]. Others include [[Parikrama]], [[Orange Street]], etc.
 
===Indian fusion===
{{main|Indian fusion}}
[[Image:IndianOceanTag.jpg|thumb|200px|Promotional picture of [[Indian Ocean (band)|Indian Ocean]] band members]]
An Indian sub-genre of rock that focuses on the blending of Indian styles of music with western music, in this case, rock. As mentioned before, the term of non-Indian bands using Indian instrumentals and vocal in rock is [[raga rock]], however, Indian fusion also encompasses attempts by Indian pop musicians and film composers to incorporate rock music into their work, starting in the 70s with film scores like those of the [[Amitabh Bachchan]] classics. It is related to Indian funk. A recent example of India fusion is [[Indian Ocean (band)|Indian Ocean]].
 
===Indian funk===
{{main|Indian funk}}
Indian funk is a loose term describing the style of rock and roll which is sometimes blurred into the realms of pop and other genres. Whereas Indian fusion may only incorporate Indian style into rock, or rock into Indian music, Indian funk can be broadly defined as what rap-metal is to heavy metal - an infusion of elements from rap, reggae, pop, and dance genres that some might consider to not be 'true' rock. Groups originating in South Asian communities in western countries like Britain are noted for this style, with bands such as [[Swami (band)|Swami]] and [[Asian Dub Foundation]] using elements of [[garage music|British garage]], [[UK bhangra]] and [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]], such as synthesisers, rap vocals and turntables.
 
== Hard Rock and Metal ==
[[Image:ADarknessDescends.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Demonic Resurrection]]'s second album [[A Darkness Descends]]]]
[[Image:Rudra-the aryan crusade-cd.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Rudra (band)|Rudra]]'s second full length album [[The Aryan Crusade]]]]
Several bands from India have focused more on the hard rock or metal styles. Bangalore based Millennium was one of the first and heaviest metal bands. Other bands centred around Bangalore and Bombay such as [[Threinody]], [[Xenon]], [[Pin Drop Violence]] and [[Kinky Ski Munky]] have a dedicated following in their cities. Death metal bands such as [[Demonic Resurrection]] have a following in India, and have achieved some favorable recognition amongst international metal experts, as demonstrated by this review at [http://www.rocksomething.com RockSomething.com]: ''"We’ve been waiting for this one at the RockSomething office – and I do mean wait. You see, Demonic Resurrection laid claim to being India’s best demonic metal act and given the quality of this record (and I’ll admit it that bar Dementra, Threinody and these guys, a limited knowledge of Indian metal), there’s little reason to disbelieve them... ...What makes this record so special however, isn’t the fact that it laboriously crossed the seas for three weeks to get here, isn’t the fact that the main man behind it all is called Demonstealer and isn’t the fact that it’s really, really fucking heavy."''{{ref|DR}}
 
===Vedic metal===
{{main|Vedic metal}}
The Indian Singaporian band, [[Rudra (band)|Rudra]], with its style of 'Vedic metal', based around Hindu themes, has gained some fame in South East Asia, and is perhaps the most successful Indian band to fuse metal and traditional music in the vein of Brazil's Sepultura. Many international critics from America, Germany and other countries, have given the band's latest album rave reviews, as [http://www.hellridemusic.com HellrideMusic's] Chris Barnes said, in this review: ''"To my ears, Brahmayidya may be the most successful blend of native traditional music with Heaviness since Sepultura’s Roots. It not only works, it is essential. Rudra don’t so much pepper traditional East Indian rhythms, chants and percussive instruments into their music as much as make them the focal point."''{{ref|Rudra}}
 
Since the genre was pioneered by Rudra in the late 1990s, it has grown in popularity. Bands like [[Aryadeva]] ([[Ukraine]]), [[Symmetry (band)|Symmetry]] ([[Indonesia]]), [[Warriors Of Peace]] ([[India]]), [[Asura (band)|Asura]] ([[India]]), [[Advaita (band)|Advaita]] ([[New Zealand]]), [[The Aryan March]] ([[India]]), [[Narasimha (band)|Narasimha]] ([[Singapore]]), [[Kaliyuga (band)|Kaliyuga]] ([[Malaysia]]), [[Azrael (band)|Azrael]] ([[Australia]]) and [[Blue River (band)|Blue River]] ([[Sri Lanka]]) have done pioneering work in the genre. Often, alongwith the Vedic lyrics, the music has shades of [[Indian Classical music]]. The definitive album of this genre is the Rudra album [[The Aryan Crusade]] released in 2001.
 
===Punk===
{{sectstub}}
Tripwire(Mumbai), Messiah(Delhi), The Superfuzz(Delhi), A4Apple, The Limit Breaks are amongst the best known punk bands in India.{{ref|ennui.BOMB}}
 
===Progressive/alternative===
{{sectstub}}
Bands like [[5 AM (5 Aphrodisiac Munks)]], [[Them Clones]] and [[Zero_(band)|Zero]], are amongst the very few and favorite alternative rock bands in India.
 
==Influences==
Indian rock has been influenced by some notable cultural trends, and has in turn produced influences of its own.
 
=== Raga rock ===
[[Image:AxisHendrix.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The cover of '[[Axis: Bold as Love]]', [[The Jimi Hendrix Experience]]'s second album, featured [[Hinduism|Hindu]] iconography]]
In the west, certain groups, such as the [[Beatles]] traveled to India, and incorporated some aspects of Indian music, especially classical instruments such as the [[Sitar]], into their music, often as a way of conjuring [[Psychedelic music|psychedelic]] 'eastern' feelings. The term for this was [[raga rock]], and examples of it are [[The Beatles]] '[[Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)|Norwegian Wood]]', '[[Tomorrow Never Knows]]', '[[Strawberry Fields]]' and '[[Within You Without You]]' - [[The Rolling Stones]]' '[[Paint It Black]]' - [[The Kinks]]' '[[Fancy]]' - and [[The Byrds]]' '[[Eight Miles High]]'. A number of prolific Indian classical musicians such as [[Ravi Shankar]] aligned themselves with this trend, making collaboration albums with western artists. Indian bands themselves mainly covered early rock songs by pioneers of rock and roll in [[Britain]] and [[United States|America]], and only achieved recognition in popular culture by supporting film scores, and Indian pop.
 
==Rock scenes==
Many cities and regions have produced collections of bands large enough to be classified as a scene within Indian rock.
 
===The Kolkata scene===
One of the most notable rock music scenes in the Indian subcontinent, [[Kolkata]] delivers a diverse range folk-, metal-, jazz-oriented music. The scene culture is known to have a significant impact on the youth all over [[West Bengal]], who have been known for their revolutionary thinking and rebellious and questioning attitude dating back to the [[Bengal Renaissance]]. A key figure of the [[raga rock]] movement, [[sitar]] [[virtuoso]] [[Ravi Shankar]] himself is from West Bengal. A major aspect of the Kolkata scene is bringing forth the variety of folk music to younger audiences in new light. However, with the exception of the band [[Bhoomi]], [[metal]] and [[hard rock]] still dominate the scene. The other significant scene in West Bengal is [[Darjeeling]], best known for its [[Nepali rock]], which although in recent years have dwindled.
 
===The Delhi scene===
Delhi's music circuit has seen its share of ups and downs, but has held on largely due to the local presence of [[Rock Street Journal]] (aka RSJ). Delhi being the operational home of the Allahabad-based magazine, local bands have benefitted by the proximity to India's first magazine that (supposedly) was only about rock and metal. The [[Great Indian Rock]] festival is mostly held in Delhi, with occasional forays into Bombay, and has exposed the upcoming musicians of Delhi to a wider variety of musicians.
 
Delhi's most famous products are probably [[Parikrama]], [[Indian Ocean (band)|Indian Ocean]] and [[Orange Street]]. Other famous bands to come out of Delhi are [[menwhopause|menwhopause]], [[Them Clones]], [[The Superfuzz]], [[Joint Family band|Joint Family]], [[Prestorika]], [[Level 9]], [[Acrid Semblance]] ,[[Oritus]], [[Levitikus]] and [[HFT band|HFT ]]. Off late, Delhi has seen a rise in bands incorporating much more contemporary western influences such as [[the White Stripes]], [[Rage Against The Machine]], [[Limp Bizkit]] and [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]]. Genres like [[Jazz]], [[Grunge]] and [[Nu Metal]] have found a strong following, bolstered by the growth of pub gigs around the city.
 
===Bangalore scene===
The Indian Rock scene in Bangalore brewed in its own quite corner, coming of age gradually. Largely independent of what was happening around in the rest of the country, Bangalore bands have been quietly innovating and experimenting with various forms of music and, their achievements have been commendable so far. Home to legends like Konarak Reddy, Millennium (the band), Amit Heri, Roberto Narain & Vasundara Das Bangalore has been a rich breeding ground for many a young gun waiting to make a mark in the Indian Music arena.
 
Bangalore based bands, in brief: Thermal And A Quarter is considered one of India’s most popular, talented and innovative bands. With their own signature band of invention, they create music that challenges any form of classification. Kryptos, the straight-laced, virtuoso thrash /speed metal band, became hugely popular after they came out with their brilliant debut album titled Spiral Ascent – with a music company contract, and an extensive international tour they are all set to take the word about Indian Rock to the world.Bangalore bands who are forcing audiences across the country to sit up and take notice are Myndsnare, Synaps, Inviktus, Threinody, Whitenoiz, Cryptic, Bhoomi,Asura and Wax.
 
Two stellar events [[Freedom Jam]] conducted every year on the 14th of August every year in honour of the Indian Independence Day & '''Sunday Jam''' conducted on the first Sunday of every month, both conducted by ''Guruskool of Music'', have become the Mecca for bands waiting for a break. Both events not only provide musicians with an unbiased platform to showcase their talents but also acts as a jump-board to help them jump-start their career.
 
===Mumbai scene===
Mumbai is reputed in producing some of the most innovative rock bands in the nation. In addition, the crowd is attributed to being the most energetic and "responsive".
 
'''Independence Rock''', considered India's biggest rockfest has been held anually since 1985 by Farhad Wadia. Usually held around the Indian independence day (14th-15th August), I-Rock features the country's extreme metal acts and also has a competition for upcoming talents. Independence Rock is frequently marred by controversies. In 2003, the media raised a hue and cry over a band by the name of "[[Moist Vagina]]" (probably after the [[Nirvana]] song).Consequently, it had to change it's name to "Stigmata". The Mumbai high court barred the fest from taking place at Rang Bhavan in 2004, breaking an old tradition and raising the ire of the metal lovers. Farhad Wadia has taken the case to Supreme court and the verdict has not been announced as of yet. In 2005, to celebrate 20th anniversary of I-Rock, it was to be held at the [[Gateway of India]]. But the concert got cancelled at the last minute after the Mumbai Police didn’t give the requisite permission on the grounds that commercial shows were not allowed at the Gateway. The concert had to be relocated and rescheduled and Wadia hinted that it may be the last I-Rock. However, I-Rock XXI has been announced and will be held at Chitrakut Grounds, Near Fun Republic, Andheri, Mumbai on 26th & 27th August 2006
 
'''ennui.BOMB''' is well reputed in bringing the indie punk and alternative scene to the foreground. Managing bands like '''Medusa''', '''Human Abstract''', '''Tripwire''', and '''Rainvan''', the company organizes various punk fests and alt shows, like ''Sub-Culture'' and ''Punk-O-Rama''. '''ennui.BOMB''' has also released two compilations of Indian rock, ''We ARE The Scene'' vols. 1 and 2. They are currently working on ''STUPIDITTIES'', a compilation of "un-metal" rock music from India. Contact them: info@ennuidotbomb.com
 
Various college festivals host rock competitions, the biggest one being '''Livewire''' at '''Mood Indigo''' ([[IIT Powai]]).
 
=== South Asian scene===
In the Indian subcontinent, other countries such as [[Pakistan]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Nepal]] have all produced rock bands. Bangladeshi death metal bands like [[Severe Dementia]], [[Barzak]], [[Voodoo Economix]], [[Annex (band)|Annex]], [[Necropolis (band)|Necropolis]] and [[Dripping Gore]], as well as other Bangla bands like [[Rockstrata]], [[Warfaze]], [[In Dhaka]], [[Ashes (band)|Ashes]] have gained some following. Pakistan also contains many rock bands, some of which have not only gained fame in the sub-continent but globally as well. Some of the internationally acclaimed Pakistani bands are; [[Entity Paradigm]], [[Noori]], [[Junoon]], [[Call]], [[Mauj]], [[Rung]] etc. Being the oldest pop-rock scene, Pakistani bands and musicians lead the pop orientated rock of the Indian sub-continent. The [[Nepali rock|Nepali rock scene]] originated in the influence of westerners visiting the Nepali and Indian [[hippy trail]].
 
==Indian origin rock musicians==
 
[[Image:Freddiemercury.jpg|thumb|right|[[Freddie Mercury]] (Farrokh Bulsara) was the worlds first [[Indian]] rock star. He was the lead singer of the popular rock band [[Queen (band)|Queen]] ]]
 
Several Indians living abroad have become famous names in rock music. The first and most famous of [[PIO]] rock stars was perhaps the late [[Freddie Mercury]] of [[Queen (band)|Queen]]. Other examples include [[Kim Thayil]] of the group [[Soundgarden]], [[Tony Kanal]] of [[No Doubt]] and [[Dave Baksh]] of [[Brown Brigade]] (formerly a part of [[Sum 41]]). Generally, wherever there is a significant Indian community, Indian origin musicians have emerged. This is both a testiment to the number and size widespread overseas Indian communities, and India's strong musical traditions. The most notable band composed exclusively of [[PIO]]s is Singapore's [[Rudra (band)|Rudra]].
 
Other rock musicians of Indian origin, with varying degrees of success, are:
 
*Tjinder Singh: [[Cornershop]] (vocals, dholaki)
*Sushil K. Dade: [[Soup Dragons]] (bass)
*[[Jason Singh]]: [[Taxiride]] (vocals)
*[[Jas Mann]]: [[Babylon Zoo]]
