  request the song

A traditional Punjabi (North India) instrument ‘tumbi’ opens the song. It’s backed by Greg’s great drum riff and the powerful ‘Dhol’ (Punjabi Drum). The beat is instantly recognisable as the bhangra beat from the Punjab. But then there’s a curved ball – a raunchy rock guitar riff from Electric Larry. Blend this with some masterful strokes from the sarode.

The vocals open with Tinku singing soulfully and Gurjit echoing in Punjabi lyrics. This is truly a masterful fusion of rock and Punjabi folk music. ‘Ride Away’ on the other hand is a song that will instantly transport you to a place you are yet to visit but often imagine.

Both of these tracks off the 'Full Circle' album were produced by David Nicolas at '301 Studios' in Sydney.
