You can't un-ring the bell. All of us come across upsetting issues in everyday life, but still we find ways of expressing joy and celebrating all that is still left.

The band “Bell” is made up of Abid Haider (Guitarist/Lyricist), Zeeshan Lalani (Lead Guitarist/Composer), Ahmad Nayani (Bassist), Shahab Hussain (Vocalist), and Aahad Nayani (Drummer).

The band describes their essence and sound as “the first notion of the shades of life which we are passing through.”

Their interpretation of this idea is then translated into their own sound, by using their instruments and their musical interaction, to communicate with each other, and their audience.

“As a matter of fact music depicts the colors and sights to human senses and it symbolizes the expression which could be subjective.” They say their music comes out of the “Sheer influence of the surroundings which mankind has been given by the creator and the culture… Above all Bell symbolizes an alarm and we shall keep it ringing across the oceans.
