ORITUS It’s been over 3 years since a merry bunch of musicians came together from various aggregations to form Oritus. At a time when the musical climate dictated bands to ditch the guitar solo and adopt a fetish for low-slung jeans and high strung lyrics, these Delhi boys were quite content penning dangerously cheerful ditties with sing-along choruses, vocal harmonies and, blasphemy of all blasphemies, multiple guitar solos! With drummer Anshul and bassist Rahul forming the backbone, a tight-as-a-noose rhythm section, they form the ideal soundscape for vocalist Robin’s melodic incantations and the shred unit, Anirban and Tridib, to blaze their way through with delightful guitar licks and solos. The willingness to create original music and the boldness to experiment prompted the inclusion of master flautist Rajesh Prasanna, adding a delicious flavour to the band’s musical output, expanding further their domain of composition, orchestration and musical expression. Though broadly classified as rock, Oritus refuse to be restricted to any particular genre of music and pride themselves at crafting songs that cover the entire musical spectrum. Gentle melodies, power-packed riffs, driving grooves, inspired solos, soulful vocal harmonies, are all components of the musical whole that is Oritus. Three years of gigging, belting out originals at performances, and winning prestigious competitions such as the BITS Pilani, have won them many fans. Winning the ‘best album of the year’ at the 2007 Jack Daniels Annual Rock Awards earned them the respect of the most austere critics and firmed their place as a major force in the Indian Rock music scene.Mail Me At:
