Cusp
was formed in November 1996 in Bombay India with the intention of
making original music derived from our varied influences. Right from
our punkish beginnings, the emphasis has always been on songwriting
and playing what comes most naturally to us, with a touch of humour
added to our approach. Our current musical direction could be simple
described as an amalgamation of all the music we've grown up listening
to and also the plethora of new material we keep hearing and getting
inspired by, irrespective of the genre.
We have had a simple philosophy of being ourselves and not compromising
on the music we want to create or play at our live shows. We aim at
satisfying ourselves (and laughing at ourselves too) because WE are
our biggest critics. Our approach to songwriting is pretty basic,
if its not something which we would love to listen to, then its not
worth working on.
Since our inception we have tried to push ourselves in terms of getting
recognition without selling out musically. We have stuck to our roots
and our beliefs despite of the fact that we are well aware that the
band is an unmarketable commodity in our own country. Cusp as a band
hope to continue in the direction we've been heading , which has been
towards a greater appreciation by everyone of the music we love to
make and play live. We have always aimed at being ourselves, doing
what we love and I don't see why anything should change that.
We've had radio airplay in the city of Bombay, been featured in shows
on MTV and Channel [V] out here in India. Done interviews for magazines
and played shows all over the country. So dudes..now you know who
were are, what we do and where to find us. So what?s next for Cusp?
Its up to you all to decide what your gonna do about it, based on
what you think of us of course! (Woaah..profound!)
