1) Medusa begun life as an 80's-influenced rock group in late 2006. In 2007 they hit the national newspapers in the UK amid scandal, their live appearances at venues such as Camden Underworld, Manchester Academy, M-Two, Liverpool’s Cavern Club and the Nice ‘n’ Sleazy Festival, served to prove the huge demand for a genuine rock band with unique style and wild passion. In 2011 they released the album Can't Fucking Win featuring mixes from top producer Romesh Dodangoda. They hit the newspapers again in 2012 for a story involving a dwarf that starred in their music video to the song Tinkerbell. They have been compared to a cross between Nirvana, Van Halen and Sex Pistols for a mixture of their styles of rock 'n' roll and punk music. In October 2014, the third album Headcase's Handbook was released which can be seen at the band's official website from which all their music can be downloaded.

2) Medusa,the progressive/industrial band from Mumbai has been creating waves in the Metal circuit since they hit the stage for the first time.

The band - Raxit Tiwari (vocals). Siddharth Shah (bass), Rahul Nadkarni (lead/rhythm guitar), Jay Rowkavi (drums), Noel Menezes (keyboard) - with its unique industrial sound and outstanding originals has never left a venue unscathed and has managed to win numerous accolades,in the relatively short year that they have been around.

With original compositions like Crop, Whitesign, and Drip that have made their mark as crowd favorites in their home city of Mumbai, and getting requests for them in cities where the band hasn t played before, is just an example of the sheer talent and musicality that the band holds. With influences ranging from Heavy Metal to Electronica, this is a band that is truly unique. The titles that the band has managed to gather in this short period of time is a feat that goes unparalleled by any other band of their age.
