The Urban Earlymen

Urban EarlyMen, formed in the summer of 2011, is an alternative band that draws its influence from, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, The Doors and many others that have an element of psychedelia. The band was formed after several line-up changes during the jamming sessions that lasted for more than 7 weeks before the final line-up was decided. the original line-up included Roshan Roy on the drums, Abhijeet Saniyal on the bass, Mridul Luthra on the lead guitar and Adityan Nair on the vocals. Later Siby Mathew, a dear friend of Mridul, was introduced as the rhythm guitarist and the band started jamming under the temporary name “the Chawla Band”. Siby’s introduction to the band encouraged the psychedelic influence in the music that the band made that primarily intended to be a funk/alternative band. After the band’s first performance at The Summer Jam ’11, bassist Abhijeet Saniyal left the band due to creative differences because of which Siby Mathew took up the bass guitar.

The name “The Urban EarlyMen” was finalized after considering each of our musical preferences, which coincidentally proved to be similar. All the band members share a common interest in old, classic rock songs, sometimes calling us as Earlymen metaphorically.
