A Thank You Message!

Hello to all Desibabas,

The year 2007-2008 was really a great year for Decibel. We did lots of shows and traveled all across the country.We would like to thank all our fans who gave us respect, came to our gigs, supported us all the time.We had our share of problems, due to which we couldn't deliver our promises like:-

. Providing you with our tabs
. Making our songs available online for download
. Releasing an Album

As a fan of a band its your right to demand and bug us every time, we love it.

We love our music more than anything else and since 2003 we've tried our best to create a niche for ourselves. Guess we succeeded a bit. We definitely want to do more but we haven't been able to deliver. We feel as bad, if not worse, for not being able to complete our album and to show you all what more we have for you.


All the band members are currently busy with their personal lives and therefore Decibel is currently inactive (not over). Since our inception in the Indian rock fraternity, we have always believed in Quality Entertainment. By replacing a member from our current lineup, we believe we are unable to express the 'Feel', which we as a band always wanted to deliver.We could have replaced inactive members and gotten new ones to complete the roster but now, we cannot afford to do that.

Since 2003 we have had lots and lots of line up changes.

In 2003 within 4 months of forming Decibel
Kanishk - Guitars (The SpiderMastermind behind Decibel) left for US.
Ananth- Our vocalist. Went back to his hometown
Rahul Chugh - Guitars. Parted ways due to personal reasons
Only Karthik and Krishnan were left.

In 2004, Siddharth Sinha (Guitars) a 12th Standard Student from DPS RKP, joined Decibel.
He made sure Decibel rose high. He induced Ripple (Guitars) and Vijay (vocals)

With this 2004 lineup, we did lots of good shows in front of a small but cheerful crowd.
We were a Thrash Metal band back then.

In 2006, Siddharth left for NUJS Calcutta, creating a void which we couldn't fill. We did few more shows as a 4 piece band
then later introduced a keyboardist and shifted to Progressive,Technical Metal.

With new Lineup, Decibel had good success. We were adjudged 1st runners up @ BITS Pilani.
In early 2007 Channel [v] Launchpad happened,our rendition of 'Man dole, Tan dole' became an internet sensation. As of now there are 60+ Naagin cover versions on youtube.Half a Million downloads on Mp3 and over 3,00,000 hits on youtube Naagin videos. We did enjoy the popularity, and with it Decibel songs like Ghost in your mirror, Time Machine, Long Road of Dreams got to reach masses, Winning IIt-D Blitzkrieg and doing lots of outstation gigs as Headliners, etc.

We have made some 10 songs which we could never record or release, due to constant lineup changes; especially the vocalists,
5 years - 5 vocalist. Which made it impossible for us to continue our work further.

Some people we would like to thank:

Kanishk - is still part of the band, he actively participates in Direction of our music.He doesn't need a thank you actually :P
Ananth - Our vocalist for his earlier efforts and songs like Innocent souls and Long road of Dreams.
Siddharth - For Reshaping the Band and his dedication and love towards Decibel. You'll be missed bro!
Sanam - For helping us reach and win the Coveted Blitzkrieg (IIT-D)
Rajiv - for supporting us in Goa and Jaipur as a Vocalist
Naman - Trying his awful best as being a Rocker but a decent Keyboard player :P
Vijay - Gave his best and made sure Decibel is among the best and remain there on top. Thanks a lot your support man !
Eshwar - 'Bhai' The technical guy of our band and for actively supporting Karthik and Krishnan.
Anupam - For making sure that Decibel 'Sounds' Good.
Dhruv Vatsal - For lending his talent as a keyboard player for few gigs.
Bubba - our keyboardist for Launchpad gig.

The Current Lineup: Krishnan, Karthik, Ripple, Mridul

Last but not the least - Orkut Decibel Community & A members.
For bugging us and for making sure Decibel Community remains active.

Biggest Thank you to all of our Fans, you guys Rock !
Without you we are smaller than a Decimal :(

We are not disbanding, we are just on a Looong break. We might surprise you one day with our album (or maybe not) or with a Gig.You never know. All we are saying, is don't expect much (I know hardly any of you ever expected anything) :P

Few of the band members, Technical and Logistics department of our band are still active. So फेव मोरे surprises are expected.


In the end all of us would just like to say:

फील है !!

जब तक फील रहेगी डेसिबल आप सबके दिलों में रहेगा।
इस फील को कभी ख़तम न होने दे :)

Decibel !! (Desi-bal)
