It's been a while, and it took some effort, and there was also that time when all the rain came to Karachi and the whole city flooded. But, we made it. One of the biggest names in Pakistani music and especially in the Pakistani rock & metal scene, Faraz Anwar, is on the show. Faraz was kind enough to give us his time and we've had a long ranging conversation stretching all the way from his musical...

Check out the breakdown below a...

ALI FIXED HIS VOLUME On a very busy weekend where both Rizwan AND Sarkhail were caught up with work and life, we recorded not one but TWO podcast episodes.
