i dont like pakistani rock , like ep n the others who bob there head and there there all punkish and think they can be a real rock/ rap type of thing ..
and my friends here think its annoying too, but my cousins (in paksitan) love ep??!?!
i love the fobby singers abrar (his village-y music videos) and ali zafar ( he’s not fobby but my cousins dont like him) and the the other guy who sings cheete cheete
Re: pakistani "rock"
ep and others are FOBS too. just cos abrar sings in p00njabi and doesnt headbang doesnt make him a fob :p
Re: pakistani "rock"
I don't like ep either. They are just a bunch of wannabes. I do like paki rock though. Junoon, karavan, jal etc etc all do western music without crossing that fine "wannabe" line.
Re: pakistani "rock"
^ lol. thats what i was lookin for . wannabes. the desperate rock wannabes. i like some jal songs, and i think ali zafars rock too.
do people in paksitan like ep cus they've probably never heard real rock?? but i bet they have!>??
Re: pakistani "rock"
eP isn't great, I mean you can't compare it to Metallica or something. But it is only the second good rock band after Junoon. If they would cut all the english crap from their songs, they wouldn't be that bad.
Re: pakistani “rock”
FYI: bobbing heads is called head banging which is an eternal part of rock music. just like how acting is part of all movies. seeing pakistanis cross the usual boy band or the pop crap mainstream is what some oversea pakistanis cant seem to appreciate. its real talent i say. at least we have some variety in the industry and can stand out from the usual “good looking boy lip syncing to the audio tape in the background” crap.
eP has always tried to sing live whenever possible. and thats the thing about rock. its always sung live. rapping in songs does not make them wannabes. 50cent raps. 2pac rapped too. 50 cant be called a wannabe for copying 2pac can he?
jeez why do they have numbers in their names…
aur waisey bhi eP were once two bands. a rock band known as entity and a rap group as paradigm. they conjoined and hence came the name entity paradigm.
the reason your cousins like the band is because underground rock has gradually started to become part of the main music industry. the mix of electric guitars and urdu lyrics are something what was unheard of in our land for the people were too attached to the abrar faakhir bandwagon.
yes i totally respect your choice for the abrar zafar lot but what these rock bands are doing is very original from the rest for they dont have the usual lovey dovey run of the mill songs attached to their music…most of the time. 
their songs of speak of life, the habits of our corrupt society and then sometimes they get patriotic too.
sara people in pakistan have heard of rock but never with urdu lyrics which is why there are adored and loved so much in pakistan. and you guys need to learn what exactly FOB means. jeez, the singers havent even left the boat. start to appreciate the talent what our little music industry has produced instead of critiquing what they do or wear. what they do and wear is totally normal in our society and isn’t a taboo of some sort.
skhan yes eP can’t be compared to mettalica because both these bands are two different genres. what eP does is rock alternative while mettalica does metal rock. and yes we do have metal bands too but they haven’t got mainstream yet i.e. messiah, dusk, etc. as for eP being the second good rock band after junoon, well lets just say junoon has a niche of their own. no band is second to anything. they have their own genres and fortes in their areas of music.
naa shukray log.
Re: pakistani "rock"
inna lamba lecture!
lol joking... well sam is kinda right... i mean im not a big ep fan, but atleast they do desrve credit for doing something different, i mean they could have just done what abrar etc could have done to make more money... its not easy, and right now they are doing alot of free concerts etc, so they must be commended, since they didnt give up. Btw, why are you calling them fobby etc, sara baji?
Re: pakistani “rock”
^ yea whats up with that? 
Re: pakistani "rock"
i dont like ep some of their songs sound a lot like linkin park songs. oh and most of them are wannabes like ep and fakhir-indian wannabe. i like the pakistani singers who act pakistani over wannabes cause why would i listen to wannabes when i can listen to the actual thing.
Re: pakistani “rock”
^ 
dude u need to really read my post. and stop stereotyping those bands. its total prejudice!!
Re: pakistani "rock"
i call just bout all pakistani things fobby, n yah i know its called head banging, and its kinda hard to think when u gotta do 10 things at once.
- i diss just about everything. and yah ! pakistan's moving forward, but ep is the greatest pakistani image, its just a bunch of wannabe;s what happened to pakistani culture in their music videos, by the way ive seen like 1 video of theirs.
Re: pakistani "rock"
^ I gotta say that too, when those 15 guys headbang, its kinda funny, I enjoy that the most.
Re: pakistani "rock"
sami, head banging has nothing to do with it. Ali azmat bangs head more than any other paki artist. Yet he doesn't look like a buffoon. But when the fat ******* from Linkin park whooops EP says **** like "I'm a white boy coming straight from the underground." you have to admit that is wannabe at it's best. Apparently the fat ******* was so happy that he was singing in "angraizi" that he forgot to look over at what he was actually saying.
Re: pakistani "rock"
haha so my sister was right they imitate linkin park! ahahah losers get your own music
Re: pakistani "rock"
Why do people here dislike EP? People in Pakistan like EP for a reason, and so do I (even here in Canada). As far as EP and Linkin Park are being compared, I think that although EP is quite similar to Linkin Park in terms of music, but the majestic - and often gritty - Urdu lyrics add a very unique and different flavor to it; EP also has a Pakistani ideology. And don't call EP wannabes without listening to their song Irtiqa III, it's very gritty - to the extent of being blasphemous for some people (so it's not for the "nake" person). Yes they'd better cut out that English crap from their songs, but compared to other bands ("underground" Paki bands), their English rapping isn't half that bad apart from the line "I'm a white boy coming straight from the L-town".
Only five of their songs have the rapping bits anyway. What many people miss out is the message that EP had to give: they actually tried to break the barrier of nonsensical love-story songs that we had been fed with so far and tried to portray something more serious, something far more mature and sensible - Fawad has talked in detail about this issue, I can give the link to a compilation of his thought-provoking interviews. Well EP has disbanded now anyway :(, but let's just not forget the revolution they tried to bring; I think Call is following the trail (both bands are lead by Xulfi).
Dude it's the other way around, the rock band was Paradigm (headed by Xulfi) and the rap group was Entity (headed by Ahmed Ali Butt)
