Having begun work on his debut album as a bedroom project back in 2010 and sharing the music through forums, Keshav Dhar has amassed a huge chunk of the world’s attention from fans, musicians, and critics alike over the past few years; attention from names like ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman and ex-Tesseract and present-Skyharbor vocalist, Daniel Tompkins. Skyharbor have some of the best shows and amazing collaborations in music to their name, the band has become the DIY pinup of the decade. Flaunting an interesting weave of progressive metal riffs with a post rock sense of ambience and recorded in the bedroom, Skyharbor’s debut album, Blinding White Noise: Illusion & Chaos, was released in April 2012 through Basick Records.
