MUMBAI: Independent Hindi pop-rock Band ‘Left Turn’ announce the release of their Debut EP ‘IRADA’. After releasing 4 singles over the past 2 years, band members Suraag, Jairaj, Reagan & Sasmit are geared to release music that’s kept them awake for the last 7 months. They’ve recorded over 12 songs to be released through 2021.
The first of their releases is the launch of this EP – A 4 track anthology by Left Turn that looks back and reflects on the moments that shape us and our personalities. The music cycles through the feeling of falling in love, the feeling of someone being so close and yet so far, the feeling of first times. The story of the music is deep rooted in nostalgia and holding on to precious memories that help shape us and our character.
Suraag Subhedar, Lead vocals & guitar said, “The EP for us is a walk through our emotions, our lives and how we were influenced as people”.

Jairaj Joshi, Drums adds, “For us the story line is a part of who we are and how we feel”.
Sasmit Rudra, Keys sends a message, “This EP is a start to everything we have to offer this year”.
Reagan D’mello, Bass & Engineer mentions, “We’ve been excited to get the songs out to people and understand how they feel about our music.’
The track listing includes #01 Pyaar Ho Gaya | #02 Tum Mili | #03 Irada | #04 Maan Jaa. The 4 tracks are layered in emotions that reflect in some oddly familiar feelings that all of us have felt over the years. To play further on the nostalgia, the band recorded the EP in a traditional setting, all band members in a home studioset up, playing minus the metronome, mixed by Akash Sawant, the recordings were then sent over to Abbey Road Studios for master. The EP is a story being portrayed through the songs #01 ‘Pyaar Ho Gaya’ talksabout the first time we meet someone special in college to #02 ‘Tum Mili’ talking about being friend zoned by someone we couldn’t stop thinking about. Through #03 ‘Irada’ the showcase idea is that it’s not always a bad experience, some of us have had the luck of being able to go on a date that one time and later through #04 ‘Maan Jaa’ they showcase that longing of wanting her back.
The EP is out now on all major streaming platforms. This will be followed by an Official Music Video to one of the tracks. While, originally scheduled to tour 6 cities with the EP, the band is working with management to announce dates based on lockdown guideline updates in each state.
