Randolph, Shiraz, Papal and Vishal came together in 1994, with a strong need to play individual, original, unique music. This was as much a reaction to the stagnating Indian Rock scene, populated by bands playing mostly cover music, as it was a primal instinct. They did the rounds of college festivals, almost immediately becoming well known and popular, by winning three major rock competitions at the Kanpur, Delhi and Bombay IIT's. They signed a record deal and put out their first album (We Are Not Listening) in 1996. They played gigs in the Seychelles and all around Indian Campuses, while figuring out their sound. When they put out their second album (Up, 2002), their audiences were taken by surprise. The alternative rock band they had known had added a huge electronic edge to their sound. Pentagram has always maintained that the new sound came out of a burning need to find a way to make music that was uniquely and solely theirs. Their new edge brought them international recognition, in that the doors of several festivals were flung open to them. They headlined the Sundance Music Festival in Estonia in 2004, a first for any Indian band. They were also invited to , and played at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2005. This was a real high point, as they not only became the first Indian Act to play there, but also became aware of the real possibilities of their music. They were able to share the stage with giants like Coldplay, Chemical Brothers, Tori Amos, Fat Boy Slim, White Stripes. Seeing how they stood up to huge acts, and how positive the audinces were, knee-jerked Pentagram into producing their current album (It's OK, It's All Good). Self assured, more mature, and yet as edgy as ever, they're hoping to release this one internationally, as well as tour the festival circuit a lot more aggressively.
