Arekta Rock Band

**Arekta Rock Band**, whose name humorously translates to "Just Another Rock Band," is a dynamic group from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Formed in 2018, the band consists of vocalist Riasat Azmi, guitarists Ifaz Abrar Reza and Sakib Manzur Zihan, bassist Arya (previously Arjo), and initially drummer Rasha, who was later replaced by Dipto. The band's diverse musical influences, ranging from heavy metal to indie and grunge, have blended to create a unique sound. Their hits like "Eden," "Chaap," and "Ojana" have captured the hearts of young audiences, with "Eden" being particularly noted for its inspiration from the video game "GTA: Vice City."

Arekta Rock Band has been active in the Bangladeshi music scene with albums such as "Ghum Paranor Gaan," "Chaap," and "Ojana," showcasing their versatility and creativity. Despite periods of hiatus due to member relocations, the band has continued to attract fans with their lively performances and engaging music videos. Their reunion concert in 2024 marked a significant moment, bringing back the original members for a nostalgic performance. However, the band faces challenges in maintaining a regular performance schedule due to Riasat's current residence in Los Angeles.
