Sumon was planning to form a band. Titi & Sentu of ‘Faith’ came along to help him. With some other musicians Sumon started performing under the name “Sumon O’ Aurthohin”, same as the album. The band was born!
Now in 2008 they released their album Aushomapto with the lineup consisting of master guitarist Komol [ of Warfaze fame], vocalist / drummer Rafa (a young multi-talented powerhouse of a musician) and Shishir [of dNA fame] who is a master of keys/ guitar, and of course “Bass Baba” Sumon on Bass.
Aurthohin is one of the leading bands of Bangladesh today, and known for their mix of singer/songwriter kind of mellow acoustic numbers and extremely heavy metal numbers in their albums. In the recent years that had also seen a kind of nu-punk and alternative rock shadows also cast on their songs.
After their successful album “Aushomapto - 1” they recently released thier new album “Aushomapto - 2” in November 2011. |
