Antaheen, a rising rock band from Pune, proudly announces the release of their debut album, Long Story Short. This seven-track album blends elements of pop, rock, and grunge with introspective lyrics that delve into themes of existentialism, personal growth, and life’s complexities. Antaheen is a Pune-based rock band founded by Amar Kulkarni (Vocalist, Guitarist, and primary songwriter from Belagavi), Ashish Kukreja (Drums), and Niraj Pandit (Bass Guitar). Their music, written in Hindi and English, offers a fresh perspective on life’s journey through eclectic, anthemic sounds.
Amar’s tryst with music began in the mid-90s while in college at GSS and went on to form college bands “The Edge” and ” Antibiotic” that performed in all the college fests around Belagavi.
Long Story Short bridges the gap between alternative rock enthusiasts and mainstream listeners with songs primarily in Hindi and one in English. Each track offers catchy hooks and thoughtful messages, creating a dynamic listening experience that resonates long after the music ends.
The album features standout contributions from popular guitarist and producer Vinay Kaushal, who enhances the band’s raw sound with polished production and layered sonic textures. Notable collaborations also include backing vocals by artist Shivangi Kale and a compelling performance by “Ensemble Sahnaad”, Pune’s finest vocal ensemble on the track “Muskuraah.”
“With Long Story Short, we wanted to create music that not only entertains but also makes people reflect and connect on a deeper level. There’s much to say, yet, it has to be said in the most concise way, long story short, this is what it is” says Amar Kulkarni, vocalist, guitarist and founder of the band.
