Faridkot

Faridkot is a New Delhi band that began as a Hindi pop-rock experiment around 2008 (public bios credit Rajarshi Sanyal and IP Singh) and later moved through Launchpad-era visibility, debut album Ek, lineup churn, and a psychedelic second chapter on Phir Se? (2014). Rolling Stone India and Indian Express coverage document core members IP Singh (vocals), Rajarshi Sanyal (guitars), Sahil Mendiratta (drums) navigating exits by Akshay Raheja and Gavin Pacheco, then adding players such as Nikhil Rufus Raj (bass) and Akshat Taneja (keys) for the Phir Se? era.

Apple Music catalog proof for Wave 2 emphasizes Nasha / Phir Se band rows under locked id 414413232—later streaming attention around Nasha (Equals Sessions) and film-adjacent Jehda Nasha sits on the same brand without requiring invented chart claims. Genre framing spans pop-rock to psychedelic Hindi rock rather than Bollywood playback alone.

Members[] lists verified founding/core vocalist and guitarist with current status; rotating bass/keys/drums lineups are not fully invented here when press snapshots disagree across years—editors can extend members later from Wikipedia-quality sources. Wave 2 leaves hero covers empty.

Sources cite Apple and Rolling Stone India album coverage. No AggregateRating schema ships. Human intro text is not overwritten by enrich prepends.

Use slug faridkot when the band is the primary subject. Multi-artist festival lineups that only name-drop them stay mention-only under single-select rules.

Operationally, Discography treats Faridkot as a Delhi rock band facet with Apple enrich locked to id 414413232, partial verified members, empty Wave 2 cover art, and intro word count sufficient for artists.xml inclusion. Do not invent awards or overwrite bios with fan-wiki statistics.

Delhi Hindi rock’s Launchpad-to-psychedelic arc includes Faridkot’s Ek debut, public breakup messaging, and Phir Se? rebirth with Nasha-era streaming afterlives. Apple id 414413232 locks the band catalog for enrich. Members[] currently lists IP Singh and Rajarshi Sanyal as verified core names; rotating bass/keys/drums credits from 2013–14 press can be expanded later without blocking create. Wave 2 leaves covers empty and invents no chart ranks. Single-select taxonomy keeps faridkot as one band facet. Sources prioritize Apple and Rolling Stone India. Intro word count supports artists.xml inclusion independently of sparse early enrich.
