If we talk about the originality of Music created by the Western Music based music bands of us we can name a very few. But there is an unknown fact for most of us. That is there's a silent revolution taking place in the music industry and a band which we can inspire is in the making. It’s 'Alien Accent'. The first CD launched by them which was produced almost entirely in Los Angeles and named as 'Rites of Passage’ was quite a hit in the local music arena.

The one’s who formed this outfit Suresh, DK,Husni and Ricky Bahar held back to back shows at Bishop’s with the launch of the CD and took the music industry by storm with their mastery performances.

The group had its makings way back in 2000, and according to them the buzz word which bound them together was the originality.

When it came to the making of their first album itself there were many big names in the industry willing to help them. Those included the likes such as Thilan Wijesingha, legendary drummer Aruna Siriwardhana, renowned bassist Hussain Jiffry all who were deeply devoted to fostering Sri Lankan talent especially in original music.Ricky Bahar who is the son of Ishan Bahar of the Jetliners fame was the lead singer for ten tracks in this album. The other two tracks were done by Thilan Wijesinghe.

Recently they launched a Christmas CD with M Entertainment in the festive season. And for bands of this nature who depend on their talents the sky would be seen as the limit. This shows that if anyone counts on the originality there are many people to help them. All the best for the Alien Accent and I wish that there would be many groups in the making like Alien Accent to take the music industry forward from where it is now.
