Whats with this website…?? It was so good and now you find out that its no more 
…
check it outhere
THIS IS SO TERRIBLE! IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO PAK POP!!
****.....
I havent visited it in a while. I hate that pholan and her top ten video article, although that is the one best thing to visit that site, but she kills it with her discrepancies. Any video on the 2nd and 1st slot earns her praise and anything before that is thrashed like there is no tomorrow but what's even more stupid is that the same videos that were praised last month because they were on the 2nd and 1st slot are now being thrashed in the new issue 'cuz they're on 6th or 7th slot.
I'd tolorate all that but her sense of humor is like rubbing salt on the wounds. Lady, cut the crap. You're no queen.

:) Thats besides the point now that the site is n more! :( I enjoyed Phoolan's commentary and she ONLY liked acant garde low budget types. But WHAT attitude! Her articles were quite enjoyable.
it was a very good site. they published some really well written stuff. their last (Mar) issue was perhaps the best I read. they had a couple of interviews of some very talented people. it's quite unfortunate that they called it a day 'cause they were doing a fantastic job of promoting our music. same thing happened to karachiunderground. hmm..
I hope someone else will see this as an opportunity to do some good work.
I agree...what happened to bandbaja ? It was one of the most professional looking and modern looking websites done by pakistanis in a long while. The articles were pretty good also.
Its sad that something that good has not lasted longer.
I hope someone else creates another website dedicated to pakistani music of the same caliber.
I know some of the people running it, and their knowledge of music was pathetic. They used to make blunders such as last month they claimed Abrar's Billo came out in 1998. Furthermore, it was basically being used for EP advertizing, and you will be surprised to know who owned the domain :)
However, it seems like an April Fool's joke to me, even though the idiots did it on the 2nd.
looks like an april fools thing.

im guessing you dont know the people that well. you cannot make claims about ther knowledge of music based on a blunder abt abrar.
bandbaja is the ONLY pakistani music mag worth even talking about.
and i know the editor of the magazine, hes a gikian and a friend of mine. he is not an ep fan, but he did spend some years of his life as a major junoon fan.
get your info right.

Ravage munney,aap abhi naye naye aye hain. Do you know who owns Band Baja? I know that bunch for a while now. I am not talking about the editor (if youre referring to that nfp character), I am talking about the person who owns the site. And I know all the chumps who are the so called editors of the site, who were constantly bickering with each other. As for their blunder about Abrar, did you even know how they reacted when it was pointed out to them? Bandbaja was nothing more than an EP promotion site. So, its time you get your info right.
firstly, dont assume stuff about me if you dont know anything about me.
i wasnt talking about nfp, nor is nfp one of the original people in bandbaja. im talking about omer tariq, someone i was college friends with for four years, who is the editor in chief of that site.
its the height of pigheadedness when you tell me that you "know" the person im talking about and refer to him as a chump.
i dont give a rats ass what they said to you when your whiny little ass dragged itself into their mailbox and pestered them with tedious minutaie. it seems that they set you in your place, and im glad they did.
it doesnt matter squat who owns the site, if you cannot back up your claims of it being a promotional site with specific instances of misplaced journalistic integrity, you're just a miserable feckwit who makes serious and demeaning claims about professional people who handle the serious burden of maintaining a VERY high quality music magazine in addition to their professional work burden, without any material benefit.
and no, abrar's first album's release date does not count.
Ravage, do you sleep with that omer tariq 
? BandBaja blows big time, and you can do nothing about it. You peeps should learn to accept some criticism rather than jumping out of your pants, afterall, most of what bandbaja was doing was criticism.
Oh, and last time bandbaja was reviewing Junoons new album, they spent more lines talking about their album ishq Amazing criticism. Now go and take your head out of tariqs bottom and get a dose of reality. And dont assume I emailed those amateur critics, I dont need to prove to them when Abrar’s billo came out, but what was pathetic was the fact that they were defending that mistake of theirs publicly. Good riddance to bad trash.
Lastly, mods, please take a note of the language this creature is using, I have it in bold for you. We dont need filth here.
I guess instead of bickering about specific bands, the larger picture should be looked at - the fact that the site was doing a very good job promoting indigenous Pakistani music, be that Ali Zafar or be that EP or be that Junoon - the fact that they were all there on the site and being talked about was something very positive. As far as 'promotion' of a specific band is concerned I dont believe that was the case, and in any way reviews DO NOT mould public opinion. Albums like Rushk's Sawal got rave reviews from critics practically EVERYWHERE but the album was a big dud commercially. So let's just keep personal opinions in the background and see the bigger picture.

spock dude, man chill, y are u always fighting ?
try to be patient and for once listen to other people too ? may be they are right ? any ways band baja was a piece of crap.
[/QUOTE]
digi, chill bro, its ravage whose jumping out of his pajamas, by getting personal. Yeah, youre definitely right about bandbaja being a piece of crap. Managers of both noori, Junoon, and another famous band have mentioned how they would always promote EP and trash other bands.
I dont get this - being fixated with this EP-upping and Junoon-trashing theories...
yeah, i saw your post before you edited your ‘morons’ to ‘peeps’. what an absolute schmuck.
its a sad world where when one talks about a classfellow, the other immediately assumes a gay relationship. either that, or you’re still in high school. grow up.
theres a difference between ‘criticism’ and unsubstantiated allegations of the kind that you’re making. put your money where your mouth is and answer the question i’ve asked before: cite an instance in the content of that site of identifiably misplaced journalistic integrity that substantiates your ridiculous claims. going by your irrelevant babble, i can safely say that you have absolutely nothing on you.

You bandbaja peeps prefer moron? I can re-edit that if you like that title so much. So tell me, what is all this site going down crap? I know there were tussles going on b/w the ppl involved or just another lame april fool thing? As for evidence, goto the official forums of other bands, and you will find out the nice words fans over there have for this site. I cant post links as its not allowed on this forum.
you're not getting my point. the fact that (some) people did not have a favourable opinion of that site is not evidence of it being a solely promotional site as you have repeatedly alleged.
i stand by my assessment of your sorry person if you have been sprouting these very serious allegations without any basis whatsoever.
if you cannot paste links, do a copy pasting. or a rephrasing. just state your basis for making the claims you repeatedly made.
edit: i should start quoting your posts. i dont normally assume people will be spineless enough to not be able to stick by their lameness.

If you want to know what the managers of the top bands (except EP) and some prominent fans think about banbaja, PM me.
Poor guy, youre still pissed cuz I changed morons to peeps? May I remind you to look at your third post in this thread, youre the one who started the name calling, son.
spock: i dont give a flying eff what you or any of the managers think.
substantiate your allegations or retract them.
'nuff said.
