Band of boys: Chandigarh band Rawmats’ ‘refix’ music recaptures the 1990s vibe

Growing up in Ludhiana, vocalist Krishna Singh dreamt of having a musical band. “We love to create a retro vibe,” says Krishna on the band’s love for music by Lucky Ali, Mohit Chauhan, Euphoria and Falguni Pathak. Krishna explains, “We play ’90s hits with a new sound set.” The band also creates ‘reply versions’ to songs sung by female singers. But the 37 million views for ‘Choodi.’ was an encouragement to explore,” shares Krishna. They describe their April release, ‘Kyu Kehti Ho’ — a romantic single directed by Manish Chauhan with more than 1,79,000 views on YouTube — as a ‘creative expression emanating from thought process and experiences’.
