Plan B
2006

The Bangalore trio's third album Plan B is a fist clenched and raised at the government, but one also holding an abundance of reimagined classic rock gems. "Paper Puli" drips with subtle, jazz-influenced riffs and scat vibes in a plea to disconnect from the media—as expressed in the lyric: "You need a rag to write for / And I need one to shine up my guitar". But the modern takes on rock classics aren't limited to the wry: bright, carefree tunes appear throughout—like the free-spirited ode the open road, "Motorbyckle"—casting a bluesy feel that entices any light-footed dancer to jive.
