Riptide is a LIVE band based out of Pune, Maharashtra. There is one plan they follow: bounce off ideas, insults, and all else; smash heads against heads and walls, challenge every note sung or played, every beat beaten up; keep asking people whether they are good or bad besides ugly. They are more interested in a brilliant mix of time components/tones and percussions towards a specific arrangement. The best thing is, they try to bring out contributions from every band member for the composition. They also need their music to be intellectually complex and satisfyingly melodic – which is definitely enhanced by the vocal overtones that they use in their music. Band Members: Vivek Desai Desai – Drums, Percussions Arun Prabhu – Vocals, Melodies Aditya Mishra – Bass Abhijit Lamsoge – Guitars
