Mumbai, July 17: A Mumbai-based fusion rock band, InRegalia has released its debut single titled 'Was it a Dream.'
The single is a dreamy, soft rock ballad with doses of Indian fusion music in it reminiscent of Indus Creed and Euphoria of the 90's. An intelligently crafted composition, the single incorporates aalaaps and simple Carnatic lines woven around a great melody.
Speaking on behalf of the band, guitarist Vijay Fernandes said, "InRegalia signifies an amalgamation of styles given our diverse musical backgrounds. Collectively we have played genres from classic and alternative rock to funk, soul and fusion music while growing up. Add to that the influence of Indian music and it is quite evident that each of our songs has some ethnic feel to it."
InRegalia has been playing in the local club circuit scene of Mumbai and Pune in the last year and the music has been well received by their fans, the local press and the Indian indie music industry. "In this era of internet revolution, we believe in putting in focused efforts in each of our songs. As an independent artist, we want our songs to be as memorable as possible and hence the decision to release singles rather than an album or an EP," adds Fernandes. The band plans on releasing more singles in the coming months.
InRegalia's debut single 'Was it a Dream' is available on major online retail stores including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody and Songdew.
