SHOR MACHAO

Shor Machao is a Delhi-based teen rock and metal band formed in March 2026 by five young musicians brought together by a shared passion for rock and metal music. Drawing influences from genres such as nü metal, grunge, pop-punk, traditional heavy metal, and alternative rock, the band aims to bring high-energy performances and a fresh Gen Z perspective to the stage.

The band consists of Nitya Shankar Virmani (lead vocals), Eshaan Pandey (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Shriyash Tiwari (lead guitar), Banajpreet Singh Oberoi (bass), and Ruhaan Sharma (drums). Together, they perform a diverse range of covers while developing their own identity as musicians.

As a generation that has grown up with music from every corner of the internet, Shor Machao seeks to bridge the gap between classic rock and metal influences and today's youth culture. Beyond performing, one of the band's key goals is to build a community of like-minded young listeners and musicians while helping promote greater awareness and appreciation of rock and metal music among younger audiences in India.

Currently a cover band, Shor Machao hopes to begin releasing original music in the near future, combining their varied influences into a sound that is uniquely their own. With a commitment to musicianship, live performance, and creative expression, the band aims to contribute to the growing rock and metal scene in India and inspire more young people to discover the genre.
