Mendonsa said, “They are a great live band with a lot of colour and a nice Indian touch to the performance. I have always liked the kind of songs they have written and the social messages their lyrics carry. I have tried to bring in the theatrical angle of their performance into the album.”
Band vocalist Vasu Dixit said, “It’s great that a popular youth brand like Bindass promotes folk rock as a genre, this will definitely help us reach out to our audience on a much larger scale. All of us in the band are really excited about the ‘Bindass Swarathma Rest Less tour’ and more so about the anthem that we are going to put together. It’s the first time that we will document our experiences with inputs from the youth and compose such an anthem. It’s truly going to be a unique sound.”
