MUMBAI: Five-piece band, Daira, which is formed by Piyush Kapoor - an ex- Thaikkudam Bridge member - in October, 2014, is all set to release its first music album by end of September, 2015. The album will be a mix of everything via which the band aims to grab some eyeballs.

Talking about the album, Pratik Kulgod the band’s drummer said, “We had a lot of ideas related to songs last year in October and we put those together to form an album. It will have eight songs.”

Apart from Kapoor and Kulgod, Daira has three more members – Govind Gawli, Vikalp Sharma and Chaitanya Bhaidkar. Interestingly, all band members other than Kulgod were in the band called Life before Kapoor got them together to form Daira. Gawli plays the bass, while Sharma and Bhaidkar play the guitar. The band also has a sound engineer and a manager. The team usually jams at Bhaidkar’s father’s jam room - Delta House of Music.

Kulgod added, “In nutshell, it’s a vast variety of songs. We are not sticking to any genre or a theme. There is a song called ‘Meri Soch,’ which is based on the lines of people having their opinion and choice. The song talks about not being restricted by society. As the subject is aggressive, we have hard hitting drums and guitar. There is another song titled ‘Mohabbat Pari,’ which is very much a love song. This song has soft music. There is another one called ‘Sharab’ and it’s about a person who is addicted. This one too has heavy music.”

The songs in the album will also have music videos. “In the initial days of the band we had unanimously decided that we won’t have performance videos but concept videos. In fact, we have Ashwyn who works on the concepts of these songs. We plan to release at least one music video by the end of this year,” confirmed Kulgod.

The band has been investing in the album from their shows. “We are doing shows and pumping that money into the album. We are lucky to have good recording setup at home. So the recording did not cost much,” averred Kulgod.
