The f16S

The F16s emerged from India’s indie rock wave, blending garage-rock energy, post-punk revivalism and synth-inflected alt-pop. Their sound often weaves urgent guitar lines, pulsing bass grooves and atmospheric synths, anchored in catchy yet introspective songwriting. Over the years they’ve grown from local gigs in Chennai to nationwide tours and international attention. With releases like Triggerpunkte (2016) and Is It Time to Eat the Rich Yet? (2021) they’ve refined their craft while retaining a raw edge and danceable urgency. Their live shows are known for vibrant energy, genre-fluid shifts and a commitment to independent rock’s spirit.
