THE BEAST

India's rock 'n roll lovers OVERHUNG will be making their Canadian debut at this year's Indie Week in Toronto, ON. The band is slated to perform two shows, Thursday, Nov 8th at Cherry Cola's and Friday, Nov 9th at Cavern Bar. In addition to their performances at Indie Week, the band will be performing select dates across Canada (dates to be announced).

Vocalist Sujit Kumar shares his excitement:

"In today's age of instant gratification, Overhung is one of the best examples of long term dedication and perseverance. With our roots from ORLEM, a small little part of suburban Mumbai, this band is what dreams are made of. The band stuck together, wrote, recorded, released and toured, despite band members spread out across the world and a million other odds. Today, the band is the first and only band out of India playing at the prestigious Indie Week in Canada, a festival in its 16th year that features over 300 bands globally."

Influenced by Poison, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin , OVERHUNG's sound is all about loud, fun, sex, rum and rock ‘n’ roll. The band released their debut album "Moving Ahead" during February of this year on Test Your Metal Records. The full length was an electrifying 10 tracks capturing the band's infectious energy to blast from the stereo speakers and give fans that classic glam rock n' roll feel of the 70's and 80's. The band then later followed up the album with a new single entitled "King of Dreams" during the summer. The single was recorded, mixed, and Mastered with band members being spread across, 3 continents, 4 countries, 5 different studios and 6 different engineers.

As vocalist Sujit Kumar says "This is stuff dreams are made up of.”

"King of Dreams" can be heard at the following link:

Their debut album "Moving Ahead" is now available for download and full stream on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes.

About:

The steel seeds of hard rockin’ music find fertile ground all over the world. All races and religions embrace it. Music should become the new worldwide religion; we’d have moshing instead of wars! Good times!

The love of music is strong in India, and stronger than all in the splendidly named OVERHUNG who hail from Mumbai! The band owe their name to unique vocalist Sujit Kumar who changed Hungover to Overhung…which speaks even more volumes than their music!

OVERHUNG are making the most debauched melodic hard rock since Guns ‘n’ Roses released their classic ‘Appetite For Destruction’. With a successful debut full length ‘Moving Ahead’ under their belts set to be re-released in 2018 via Canadian label Test Your Metal Records, great live shows, and a planned follow up single entitled ‘King of Dreams’, OVERHUNG are ready to offer the world killer sounds coming straight outta India!

Influenced by Poison, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin , guitarist Howard Pereira describes their sound as “loud, fun, sex, rum…rock ‘n’ roll! We are about devolution not evolution! We are still doing late 80s and 90s rock!”

Pereira explains the very reason for OVERHUNG’s creation was when the members jammed "the energy was infectious and all of us wanted to write more kick-ass music with together…We hope that people are open to hearing our music in 2017. The band’s music is largely arena rock sounding, so at live gigs people just lose it and have a blast!”

You have to see OVERHUNG play because they have “insane live energy! Quite frankly there is no one like Sujit Kumar when it comes to live performances. He is shameless and you can’t take your eyes off him. His antics include table dancing, interacting with women (and men too sometimes), climbing everything in sight from light poles to bartops! It is engaging for the audiences. Also we deliver tight and fun glam-rockish sets that go down well!”

"A GREAT ALBUM by a band who learned the lesson from the Hard Rock Masters but looking to the future!" - Hard Rock Heavy Metal

"Opening up with the catchy number "Sex Machine", Overhung's debut album is a good first effort and should appeal to fans of Poison, Kiss, AC/DC, and Guns N' Roses." - Heavy Metal Time Machine

"Ten songs party addicted influenced by the 70’s and 80’s hard rock, the album itself is a thrilling work with glam rock lines." - Rockers and Other Animals Mag

"They embody the sex, drugs and rock n roll attitude and spirt with songs like “Sex Machine”, “Must Drink” and “Casual Bitch”. The whole album rock’s from start to finish. These guys know what rock n roll is all about and without a doubt are on a mission to bring it back to the world. Get this album you won’t be disappointed. With bands like Overhung rock n roll will truly never die!!!" - The Dirty Room
