High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fire on Dawson is an Indo/German rock band from Karlsruhe, Germany, formed in 2006. The current line-up consists of founder and bassist Martin Sonntag, guitarist Markus Stricker and Indian vocalist Ankur Batra. Former members include co-founders Moritz Lietzenmeyer and Nicolas Morales Ocampo. Since its formation, Fire on Dawson has released one full length studio album `Prognative` and one EP ` Seven Symptoms`. Though initially starting out as an experimental funk metal project, the band has over time developed a unique alternative/progressive rock sound, aided by the various musical and cultural influences the different band members have brought along with them. The sound of the band is characterised through their songwriting play with songs usually starting out clean, with lush guitar parts that suddenly explode into thunderous, distorted choruses. This, coupled with the vocal and lyrical ability of frontman Ankur Batra, has placed Fire on Dawson at the forefront of their genre in the German music scene, which till now had mostly been dominated by pop-punk and party-alternative acts. The release of their debut full length `Prognative` has seen Fire on Dawson receive much critical acclaim, with many critics crediting the band with helping revive the post-grunge/alternative rock scene in Germany. The band members themselves though, have till now refused to label and categorize their music into existing genres.
