The album from BFL, which is Akshay Chowdhry (Vocals, Guitars), Sumant Balakrishnan (Guitars, Vocals), Dushyant Purohit (Bass) and Tushar Goyal (Drums), is an eclectic combination of twin guitar offensive, bass lines and percussive rhythms After their performance in Hyderabad, Bangalore, New Delhi and Pune, this was Barefaced Liar's fifth performance.
Formed in 2002, the band is heavily influenced by all-time classic sounds of bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, SRV, Jimmy Hendrix and Metallica, while leaning towards a more modern sound in the style of Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.
