DRockStars and underground music
Courtesy: BITOPI
Our underground bands have harnessed the alternative rock and metal genres of music for a long time. Now DRockStars provide a platform for the talented musicians. While it exists for commercial reasons, it nonetheless promotes the obscure bands to limelight. Bands like Dour and Bortoman deserve recognition. Under the watchful eyes of eminent judges, they are one-step away from stardom. However, rock music is still confined to those people who are rich enough to buy guitars, keyboard and drums. If anyone can get hold of a guitar, he downloads some guitar tabs from internet, labels himself as a guitarist and soon forms a band. The bands mushrooming are mostly aimed at impressing their peers and earning fame while they lack devotion to music. If DRockStars continue to hunt formed bands only, they will neglect many aspiring musicians whose dreams are restricted due to lack of money, organisation and proper guidance.
