Outlandish – No More (Junoon 20)
Salman from the world-famous Pakistani Rockband Junoon asked if we wanted to do a cover of one of their songs for their 20th Anniversary. The challenge was big and there was much to live up to. The first song we picked was Ghoom from their album Parvaas, Waqas all time favorite Junoon song, we also featured it on our Compilation Beats Rhymes & Life. The choice however fell on one of the only songs Junoon has done in English. The theme fit scarily too well to the situation in Pakistan and we chose tho give our take on it.

Interview: Do you think fans can relate to you singing the songs instead of Ali?
Peter Gabriel was the lead singer of Genesis, and then he left the band to start a solo career. Phil Collins, who was the drummer, took over and continued with Genesis. It’s not unheard of; there are numerous bands where this has happened. I have the greatest respect for Ali as an artist and performer; having said that, my life doesn’t begin and end with Ali Azmat.

Interview: Did Salman get in touch with you for Junoon 20?
He sent me emails, but I didn’t reply. There are some issues between me and him. I don’t want to associate my name with Junoon anymore because he has used false marketing. Fans are calling me saying why weren’t you there? People call me and say ‘you’re in breach of contract; you didn’t appear for the show.’ For him it’s a cash cow—he can do whatever the hell he wants but it doesn’t make it right. His reaching out, it seems like a commercial need. I’d rather do something for the music. They’re flogging a dead horse. If you bring a band back it has to be for great music and that’s it.

Live, breathe, sleep Junoon
LAHORE – The trio was the heaviest thing that the Pakistani youth had ever come across. The hard, electric guitar riffs had sunk their talons in the minds of confused, angsty youth. Ali Azmat’s voice – oozing with power and machismo, but tinged with a haunting and yearning at the same time – crooned away songs of heartbreak, and belted out anthems of revolt against authority; Brian O Connell (a unique phenomenon of being a foreigner in a Pakistani band), a plucked placidly at his bass strings, cool as a cucumber, but producing some of the most solid bass-lines, while Salman Ahmed, who had once upon a time played for the Vital Signs, fiercely churned his guitars, almost to ear deafening level. It was an impeccable combination of gritty Pakistani rock – actual rock.
