Indian Rock

I have been listening to Rock music from my school days but it was only after I joined college that I started going to Rock Concerts regularly. Unfortunately the India Rock Music scene has gone nowhere even with so many talented bands probably because Filmy music has always dominated our airwaves!
Here are some links to some of my favourite resources for Indian Rock Music:

Radio Verve
An internet radio station which plays Indian Rock Music. They don't have an expansive playlist but still plays some good music.

RSJ Online
Online presence of the Rock Street Journal magazine. Which was one of the earliest magazines dedicated to Rock Music in India.
I still remember going umpteen times to the newspaper hawker near my school to check and see if the next issue had come :)
The site has a music library of Indian rock bands, Gig schedules and Articles.
They also have an online forum which tends to go down quite often ;)

Gigpad
Another great site and probably one of my frequent haunts..
It has a message board, album reviews, Gig schedules, news and lots more.
