Where is Urdu rock?

[waleed3601]

Noori, Strings, Vital Signs, Aaroh, Call, Roxen, entity Paradigm, Jal, Mizmaar and so many more....
Back in the day these Urdu rock bands were all the craze not just in Pakistan but even in India they used to drool over Pakistani Rock music, but now there's literally no trace of it to be found anywhere. All we have now is some aspiring EDM artists, a few rappers maybe but the Urdu Rock scene is completely dead and buried 10 inches deep in the ground. What happened? And is there any chance of a revival?
Could it be the security situation or increasing trend of conservatism in Pakistan that lead to the death of our vibrant music scene?

Urdu rockers are not appreciated, arroah vocalist is running a shop in USA and the really good back up singers, drummers etc have joined MNC or quit Pakistan.

Vital signs ka to peta ho ha ap ko.

Noori is living of royalties, which is a shame because there was so much talent there.

Junoon got balloon.

EP: some of them ended up on TV for a while don't know much after that.

There is still an underground rock scene in Karachi and Islamabad. But mainly small bands doing covers, nothing the likes of EP, Aaroh, call and vixen now those were bands.

Was wondering the same. I think, most bands are trying to copy Atif Aslam to end up in film industry.

The internet boom in Pakistan over the last decade has destroyed the music industry, and rock took the biggest hit

The scene is not vibrant these days
Most of it is due to the lack of concerts
Also the general quality of music has gone down
Except one or two
Like Malang Party

Or Bumbu Sauce these guys are absolute live wires during a performance
