One of the rock band of Nepal, who are in the Nepali music scene for about two decades- The AXE band are coming with a new album- their sixth album entitled Bhadas. This album Vadas is the latest one after their 2006 album "Kammasakka" which was very popular with the song "Euta Chitthi ko". The album Bhadas is known to include 10 songs with some patriotic, political frailty and love relationship theme. The Band also informed of new music video of a song "Simana" to be released this week. This song is about the boarder encroachment in the southern belt of our country and the band feels right for each citizen to know what's the reason behind such continuous encroachment.
Here is how the lyrics of the song Simana goes- only the first line.
Hamro simana lai micheko ho ki becheko ho?
Pahilo kura bujhnu cha, chakrabiu kasle racheko ho?
Tanakpur ra kalapani micheko ho ki becheko ho?
There is also a song entitled "Mato Pani" which is against the Indian hegemony in Nepal, who being the nearest neighbor keeps on interfering much affairs in Nepal, according to the song.
The band also expressed their skepticism that the song gets played in all of the radio/TV stations and mentioned that those who won't play the song/video Simana, they will be known by people as an agent for the nearest neighbor.
Lets see how will the come back of the old folk rock band be.
Shiva Sunuwar- the front man of the 3 man Band (The AXE Band), asked people to listen the songs by buying original CD's as lot of hard work, money and time are invested in the album and urged to encourage Nepali artists by buying the original album. He said "Rs 250 ain't much but it will help encourage not only the band but all the people behind the music making."
With this album release, I am sure they gonna be having some concert pretty soon, and I have not been in their concert since last Shikhar Beat contest (used to held for battle of emerging bands) which I don't remember the date.
Most popular songs from The AXE band are Chiya Barima, Euta Chitthi, Lukna deu, Timro Najar le, Ma audaichu, Praya.
