Junkyard Groove was formed in the year 2005 and have become a main stay in the Indian Independent music scene. A band that has seen every high and low of being in a band, from being signed to an international label, opening for some of the biggest bands in the world like Iron maiden, Incubus, Prodigy, Robert Plant and more, to being dropped from their label, and going through line up changes. Their first album 11:11 was a huge success garnering a big fan base and winning quite a few awards. Their song "its Ok" has become a part of play lists on every English radio station in India. Junkyard Groove was one of the first bands to take advantage of social media and viral marketing in India. In April 2011 the band received a huge blow when Ameeth Thomas vocalist and principal songwriter received news that three of his band mates had left the band without an explanation through Facebook. In 24 hrs of the announcement he announced a new line up with Naveen Thomas coming in on lead guitars a very experienced guitarist from Bangalore, Sajith Satya the bass prodigy from Chennai belonging to the Satya clan and Shaskank Vijay a drummer that makes a four piece band sound like 5. Since then Ameeth the singer-songwriter/ producer/ engineer for the band has put out 2 singles Beautiful Crime and Speed of love. The band is currently finishing up their second album due to release in Jan 2012. One thing is for sure this is a band that does not play by anyone's rules but their own.
