About Us are a hard rock band hailing from Nagaland, in the north-east of India. The sixpiece
rock formed in 2019 and released their acclaimed international self titled debut album
in 2022 and are now coming back with a sophomore release entitled "Take a Piece".
Recognized worldwide for its cuisine and culture, landscapes, languages and the Bollywood
film industry, India are now showing the world they are a force to be reckoned with in the
arena of hard rock, with bands such as Girish & The Chronicles, Fifth Note (also hailing from
Nagaland) and obviously the impressive About Us who have been already awarded for the
Best Rock Band category at the MG Nagaland Music Awards (June 23, 2021) and at the Music
Awards of Nagaland (October 16, 2021).
The new album - "Take a Piece" - includes once again ten infectious rock songs which
certainly spice up the debut with more guitars and a heavier approach, though keeping
intact the taste for immediate and hummable melodies intertwined with an energetic and
technical approach on the instrumental side - these guys know how to play thanks to their
over 15 years experience in the local music scene.
Certainly the singer Sochan Kikon is one of the most outstanding and chameleonic voices to
come out on the scene in the past few months (it's really no surprise that the Frontiers label
tapped him to appear on a Michael Bolton tribute last year) with considerable extension and
great interpretative skills.
About Us have delivered once again a magical album – and confirm their status of one of the
most outstanding new bands to look out for! An essential purchase for all fans of Steelheart,
Winger, Journey and Boston.
