A cardboard shelter under a busy flyover in London, home, no doubt to an unfortunate and anonymous human being, was the inspiration for the name of the band. SHANTiTOWN are about fusion and experimentation.

They combine the musical drive and energy of western rock and suffuse it with the melodic vibe and lyrical poignancy of Indian music. To SHANTiTOWN music is a mystical language that transcends our petty rivalries and shrill noise.If it were not so how could Amar Singh a Hindi/Punjabi vocalist, Ennio Capria an Italian guitarist and Raj Thakral a Rock drummer have ever come together to create the musical force that is SHANTiTOWN.
