Shillong-based rock band Dosser’s Urge released a new single, ‘Jinx’, this week, and announced the release of two more singles over the next few months. “I wrote it based on our experiences being jinxed,” vocalist and guitarist David Kom told us. “We had been playing at different competitions, only to realize that competitions actually suck, and it makes us feel really bad. So, the song is about our less than pleasant experiences playing at competitions, and learning good things from it.”
‘Jinx’ along with two more singles were recorded at Dimapur’s Element Indie Studio with Kevi Pucho. “We were looking for someone who can capture acoustic drums,” David told us, “Analog recordings, and live guitars. We couldn’t find that in Shillong, so we went to Dimapur and recorded with Kevi at his studio. We felt that he could make us sound how we wanted to, or atleast get close to it. The whole experience was awesome.”
Dosser’s Urge will also be shooting a music video for one of their upcoming singles, ‘Mother’, in Dimapur, over the next couple of weeks. The music video will be directed by Kevi Pucho, and is slated to be released sometime next month. “We really liked Kevi’s audio work,” David told us, “And he had shown us some of his video works also. So, we really want to work with Kevi for the music video.”

Looking back, 2014 had a great number of special and memorable moments that in their own way defined the Indian indie music scene; some great, some not so much. So, we decided to put together a list of some memorable moments that shaped the year and had us on the edge of our seats.
2014 was more than a spectacular year for the Indian independent music scene with a tidal wave of young and innovative artists, a plethora of music festivals, and an amazing 365 days of pure music. In retrospect, the RSJ team have pooled in efforts to compile a list of some of the most promising new bands and artists responsible for the dynamic shift in the Indian music circuit's sound.
