BIOGRAPHY ::
Null Friction was formed in Chennai, India in late 2005. Their music ranges from alternative rock to straight out hard rock. Despite being influenced by the likes of Guns n Roses and Metallica, theyre focused on finding their own niche in music and also writing songs which appeal to todays youth.
The band consists of three high school students; Abhishek on the bass guitar, Ansh on the drums, and Shreyans on lead guitars and vocals. The skeleton of Null Friction was conceptualized when classmates, Abhishek and Shreyans, discovered each others interests in music. On the look out for a drummer, they encountered Ansh, who had just moved to Chennai a few days ago. It was only after growing close as a band that they were informed of their drummers musical history, or lack thereof. It turned out that Ansh wasnt even a drummer, he just claimed to be one. But, up until they were told, neither of the other two knew this, and Ansh, delivering more and more outstandingly each time he played, gave them no reason to suspect. They moved rapidly through a series of equally interesting and cryptic names for their band, including The Teletubbies, White Fingers, Broken Bridge, and more, before finally settling on Null Friction. They decided to keep the name, because theyd made up their minds stop nowhere in their quest to succeed; seemingly frictionless.
After writing a few songs, the band decided to record their music. Being strong believers in the principle of Do it Yourself, the band recorded their first song, Somehow, in their schools Sports room with bare minimum recording equipment. The song was informally circulated on the internet and turned out to be a bigger success than theyd anticipated. After recording a few more songs in their living rooms, the band decided to go into the studio to record an album. Null Friction recorded four songs for their EP, World Wide Quiet. The album was sold at various venues by the members of the band and went on to sell almost all copies, within the first week itself! Null Friction has been rightly described by others as angry, powerful, and unpredictable. Theyre young, passionate, talented, and driven to do whatever it takes to go all the way.
As of now, the band is working hard on developing a unique sound of their own but like they themselves said, Weve got a drummer, a bass guitarist, a guitarist who sings, and an attitude and thats all we need. Its evident that apart from all of those, theyve definitely got a future as well!

That girl who lives down the street.
And all those bands who’ve spent their lives trying to make a point.
