Un-metal label Ennui.bomb’s head Rishu Singh lived upto his attempt of  giving audiences in the capital “something other than Dualist Inquiry” at the Loudest Gig in Delhi on April 20th, at Verve. The gig was also organized to raise noise against the ill-treatment of women.

The gig introduced two Mumbai bands to Delhi ”“  alt punk/dance rock band BLEK, who played the last of their ”˜old set’ comprising their early material and hardcore punk band The Riot Peddlers, who roped in Frank Pawar [ex-thrash metal band Devoid] on bass, before they rushed to compete at Delhi Indie Night’s battle of the bands competition. The gig also marked the launch of punk rockers The Lightyears Explode’s debut album, The Revenge of Kalicharan.

Delhi-based band The Vinyl Records drew in their own crowd, while experimental rock band The Circus closed the gig, playing from their latest album, Bats, and keeping it tight and psychedelic in the packed venue.
