There is excitement in the air as this week’s episode is Maed in India’s 150th episode! A testament to creating a platform for independent artists in India to play their music and talk about it too. Since, this show has always been about discovering music, Mae would like to introduce you to a band she discovered at a gig she went to in Bombay. This band took our breath away (yes, it was a Top Gun moment). So for 150, listen to rap rock act, Chabuk as they talk about playing in numerous bands in the indie scene for over a decade, being middle class thugs, Old Monk & Chaas, and more. They’re called the “Rage Against The Machine of India” and on this episode you get to hear their unrecorded and unreleased music exclusively on the show.

Whether it’s a shoegaze band from Chandigarh, thrash metal act from Visakhapatnam, rapper from Kashmir, vocal folk quartet from Kohima, Tamil indie pop act from Madurai, or a singer-songwriter from Mussoorie, Maed in India is where you’ll discover it.
Started in 2015, music nerd and ex-radio presenter Mae Mariyam Thomas showcases the best talent coming out of South Asia and its diaspora.
The show is India’s first indie music podcast and prides itself on being the premier destination for new music, little known stories that give you a peek into the lives of independent musicians, as well as being an ongoing archive of unreleased music never heard before.
“Remember that in the darkest days when everything stopped, you turned to artists.” - Jishnu Bandyopadhyay
