The band, which soon grew to five members, was literally forced by its bunch of dedicated supporters and believers to push the music they were producing in an abandoned warehouse out into the open. An EP titled ''The Story Begins'' was soft-launched in 2003 under the band's own label "the middle earth company". The CD, which included three songs - ''Free'', ''Sweet Despair'' and ''Fly Away'', became an instant hit notching thousands of downloads over the band's official site and with bootleggers making their money by selling pirated versions. This completely changed the way India looked at original contemporary music being produced in English. The songs found international airplay, including BBC London, and climbed on to top 10 ranks on international mp3 sites. Ever since, menwhopause has been slowly but steadily setting benchmarks in India's music scene most importantly as being one of the first bands to have stuck to playing only original music and concentrating on the art of songwriting. menwhopause is now all set for an international launch of their concept album ''Home'' in August 2006. ==Band members== *Sarab (vocals, harmonica) *IP (acoustic guitar) *Anup Kutty (electric guitar) *Randeep Singh (bass) *Rahul Chatterjee (drums) ==Discography== *''The story begins'' - August 2003 *''Home'' - To be released in August 2006 ==External links== * menwhopause.com Category:Indian_musical_groups
