Half
Step Down is a blues-rock band with influences
ranging from Cream, Hendrix, Allman Brothers,
Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin and Dave Matthews. The
band has always maintained that having fun while
playing music is of utmost importance and continues
to do so. The nomenclature of the band is derived
from the fact that the band tunes its guitars
on which is half step down from standard tuning
pitch. Their songs are about everyday experiences
ranging from what they feel about maintaining
peace to how tough it is to write a good song.
They are in the process of recording their debut
album presently.
Half Step Down rose from the ashes of a college
band, when Dhaval and Rudy decided that they
wanted to continue playing music. They started
their search for like-minded musicians and soon
Jishnu and Srijan joined in on guitars and drums.
Recently, Rohanhas joined on rhythm and backing
vocals. Shiv’s entry on Keys has completed
theirsound. Each member of the band brings to
the music his varied influences which come
together to make the music of Half Step Down
