May Island is a LIVE band based out of the capital city of India, New Delhi. This alternative rock band has been performing professionally for more than two years. They draw inspiration from artists like Coldplay, Paramore, Karnivool, Underoath, and Parachute.
Formed in mid-2014, May Island is an alternative rock band that started out as a two-piece instrumental group by Vishnu Kumar (guitars) and Aaron Almeida (drums). May Island is best known for its debut EP ‘Eleonora’, released in October 2015.
‘Eleonora’ quickly caught the attention of alternative/prog-rock listeners and helped the band win listeners and followers locally. In early 2016, May Island played a series of shows in Bangalore, including performances at Indigo Live, Blue Frog Bangalore, as well as the prestigious Indian Institute of Science. Receiving rave reviews from the Bangalore media, the band earned itself a name for energetic LIVE performances and the ability to make a strong connection with audiences.
The latter half of 2016 saw May Island expand itself in numbers, and add a completely new dimension to its music, with vocals. What follows is the band’s much-anticipated second EP, ‘To Mend A Broken Mind’, expected to be released in March 2017. With Craig Godinho taking the dual role of guitarist/vocalist and Sarthak Sharma joining on bass, May Island is all set to get back on stage with a bang.
