MUMBAI: If Day one of the sixth edition of Harley Rock Riders was remembered for Providence and Scribe’s display of ‘music triumphs everything’, Day two was dedicated to yet another flawless flow of emotions from one song to another, thanks to Indus Creed. The band was last to perform on the Guvera Stage, which for some reasons could not provide ‘ideal’ sound on the first day of the music fest. However, taking nothing away from yet another honest and improving scene set by the organisers in their sixth edition, the second day did not see bands complain about the sound or slots.

The second day kicked off with winners of ‘Find Your Freedom’ – Celestial Teapot- the band’s debut set at the event. The act was then followed by The Lightyears Explode, with a stage performance that only The Lightyears Explode could pull off. The trio reminded early birds why they are still regarded as the future of Indie scene, and they were followed by Bombay Bassment not long after.

Meanwhile, on the Guvera stage, Superfuzz ‘upped’ the atmosphere, getting fans into the mood for some more heavy music. The F16s took to the stage next, after which they were followed by an impressive performance from Indus Creed, the last band on the Guvera stage for the night.

Back at the Harley stage, fans in large numbers were already applauding and cheering to every original performed by The Ska Vengers, making them an ideal opening/ supporting act for The Wailers. The tracks, coupled with trumpets, set the mood for headlining act of the event.

What day two missed in power-chords and metal mayhem, it gained in trumpets and groovy ‘rastafa’ reggae. The Wailers are a ‘crowd-puller’ and not many bands, reggae or otherwise, manage to generate an atmosphere of peace and love, irrespective of where they go. ‘V’ signs replaced the ‘devil horns’ in exactly 24 hours, as the Jamaicans took to the Harley Stage, and enforced the previous night’s headbangers to groove to ‘Buffalo Soldier’, followed by some of the band’s other classics including ‘I Shot The Sherriff’, ‘Concrete Jungle’ and ‘War’.

However, the night’s most memorable moment, before The Wailers took the stage, came through Indus Creed’s soon-to-be-on-EP track ‘Still In Flight’. The act saw Naina Kundu managing bass responsibilities for the night, as the band’s regular bassist- Krishna Jhaveri was on a North American tour with Skyharbor. Indus Creed performed without Jai Row Kavi, but still managed to mesmerise everyone at the Guvera Stage. ‘Still in Flight’ is a lyrical beauty and something the fans cannot wait to get their hands on for the same.
