Skrat is a high-octane indie rock band hailing from Chennai, India, known for its exuberant energy and gritty sound that draws inspiration from a variety of genres such as punk, garage rock, and hard rock. The trio, consisting of Sriram TT on guitar and vocals, Jhanu Chanthar on bass, and Tapass Naresh on drums, has been electrifying the Indian independent music scene since their formation in 2006. Skrat is characterized by their sharp riff-driven guitar work, thumping bass lines, and dynamic drum patterns, underpinned by Sriram's distinctive vocal style that often carries a narrative quality, echoing the storytelling traditions of classic rock.

With a reputation for fervent live performances, Skrat solidified their status in the rock landscape with their album 'The Queen,' showcasing their ability to blend catchy melodies with a raw, unpolished sound. Their subsequent release, 'Bring out the Big Guns,' demonstrated a maturity in their songwriting and a willingness to experiment with their sonic palette. 'Design' further refined this approach, featuring elaborate arrangements and more polished production. Moreover, 'Mutant Macha' added to their discography with its driving tempos and anthemic choruses, capturing the band's relentless spirit. Their involvement in creating the 'Friday Night Plan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' displayed the band's versatility and their potential to craft atmosphere and emotion beyond their traditional rock domain, indicating that Skrat's journey is one of constant evolution and innovation.
