December 15, 2010 (Showbiz PR Wire): The denizens of the city witnessed the glitz, glamour and razzmatazz of music as the Rock band Barefaced Liar (BFL) launched their debut album Barefaced Liar at the Hard Rock Caf, Mumbai. The musical extravaganza had the youth grooving to the distinct and refreshing compositions spelled out by the band. The gala evening saw participation from rock lovers and socialites alike.
The 4 member band enthralled the crowd with a variety of rock n roll numbers and left them awestruck with their high voltage performance. Band members Akshay Chowdhry (Vocals, Guitars), Sumant Balakrishnan (Guitars, Vocals), Dushyant Purohit (Bass) and Tushar Goyal (Drums) were extremely thrilled at the launch. The album Barefaced Liar is an eclectic combination of twin guitar offensive, haunting bass lines and thumping rhythms. After their performance in Hyderabad, Bangalore, New Delhi and Pune, this was Barefaced Liars fifth performance.
Formed in 2002, the band is heavily influenced by all time classic sounds of bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, SRV, Hendrix and Metallica while leaning towards a more modern sound in the style of Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.
Based out of a country and culture that is still embracing the concept of rock n roll and live music, BFL has worked passionately on honing their craft in terms of combining technical skill and quality song writing. The combination of influences backed by a loaded blues rock driven guitar style that developed over the years, led to a unique east-west dynamic that has translated into complete and relevant song writing. Over the past few years, the band has done dozens of studio sessions that have yielded positive results- besides gaining vital experience , one of their tracks- Carnation, has been featured on several compilations in India as well as an upcoming artists compilation in Los Angeles. Two of their tracks 'Glow' and 'Mirage', have received International acclaim as 'Semi Finalists' from the UK Songwriters Contest for 2009 and 2010.
