Kashmir Stone a name that changed the Malaysian
Indian music industry overnight. The bands
unique name was given by its founder Brahma.
Kashmir Stone released their (diy) album 7
suruthi (later was named Mangga Thoppu) in
1999 during Thaipusam festival, what is suppose
to be a 'Trial' demo became a national anthem
amongst die hard rock fans
.with a controversial
song Mangga Thoppu, the band had the attention
from rockers, the Malay media to the politicians
all giving different opinion regarding the
band... but everything contributed to the
sales of the album.
After a two year break Kashmir Stone released
their 2nd album called Nande Kathey. This
album became a talk of the town with their
song Malaysia Makkel entering Malay radio
chart, with half Malay and half Tamil lyrics
and contents about the Malaysian history gave
Kashmir Stone a permanent signature in the
Malaysian music industry.
In 2004 Kashmir Stone released their 3rd
album called 80's Rock Remix; this album contains
hits from the old Tamil movie soundtracks
hits rearranged to rock version. Even one
of the old hit has been changed to new lyrics
which talked about K.L traffic jam which enjoyed
overwhelming support from radio d.j's. The
song K.L City enjoyed 5 weeks in the THR Raaga
as the number one song and still in the top
10 till today.
Apart from the album success the band also
played for a wide range of crowd from AlorStar
to Singapore.
