Tails On Fire rediscovers musics raw energy

Tails On Fire was formed in 2011, when four guys comprising three generations of the Chennai music scene met and decided they needed to make some organised and orchestrated noise. With Karan Nair on vocals, Sriram TT on guitar, Jitesh Dharmaraj on bass and Ritesh Dharmaraj on drums, the band ended up rediscovering the raw energy that bands nowadays seem to be shying away from.Driven by a distinct groove, the band displays big sound, a high-energy stage act, and straight-up high action rock, to create what they call the ‘Tails On Fire experience.’
On their a-ha moment: According to Sriram, the band members looked at each other, and their eyebrows went up to say “A-ha!” right after the sound check before their first ever gig. “That was three years ago, and the vibe from that day grew like wildfire – we knew that nothing could stop us after that,” says the guitarist.
On their brand of music: They believe that their music takes you right back to what rock is all about. “The idea is to put together the blistering heat from the band's collective soul, and blast it off a big stage to melt people’s faces off. What sets our music apart is that each member ensures that he is not holding back – every song is loud and clear and is meant to shake things up. You want to dance? Dance. You want to head bang? Head bang. You want to jump? Jump,” says Sriram.
On their influences: They draw their sound and vibe from legendary rock and punk bands like Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Alterbridge, Biffy Clyro and Blink 182, to name a few.
On their way forward: The band recently released their debut album and are now looking at showcasing their skills and getting to play as many shows across the country as they can. Says Sriram, “We want to take our music to as many people as possible.”
