Digital Suicide (Assam) is an alternative rock band from Guwahati, Assam. The band consists of Daniel Langthasa on lead vocals and guitar, Dpak Borah on backing vocals and bass guitar, and Ratan Bordoloi on drums and percussion. Originally hailing from Haflong, they have been friends since their formation in early 2008 and changed band names a number of times (such as Ahimxa, Spice Boys) before adopting the name Digital Suicide. But like so many other places in North East India, their hometown was badly hit by insurgency. They had to move out in order to save the future of the band. The band regrouped in Guwahati after almost a year and has been creating music with more fervor and zeal than ever before. Their sound is a refreshing blend of alternative rock music, grunge, punk, old school Bollywood music, mid- 90s boy band pop and progressive rock. Digital Suicide is the new voice of the independent rock scene of India. Strong bass and drum grooves act as the driving force behind the band’s music with the guitar providing simple atmospheric and ambient textures to the songs rather than just carrying the melody. Digital Suicide’s flirtation with 70’s disco and 80’s pop melodies reflect on their vocal melodies. Their music has been inspired by the works of R. D. Barman, Bappi Lahiri, Classical Music, Bands like RHCP, Placebo, Joy Division, R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Lady Gaga, MJ, Radiohead, Nirvana etc.

The band is known for their energetic and stylish live performances. Their lyrical themes and inspiration involve California dreams, love, communal hate, regional terrorism, real politik, fatty food, sex, hallucination, wild life, animals, global warming, aliens etc and to see a clearer sky is Digital Suicide’s concern.
