Madras Mail
About
Madras Mail is not just your average experimental fusion rock band from Kerala; they are a musical phenomenon that has captured the hearts of thousands with their energetic performances and soul-stirring melodies. Their journey to fame began when they clinched victory at a prestigious band competition, ‘Rangreza’ 2015, organized by KM Music Conservatory. The prize—a sponsorship for a music video produced by none other than AR Rahman—catapulted them into the spotlight, setting the stage for their meteoric rise to fame.
Formed in 2015, this Alappuzha-based band defies conventional norms by crafting their entire repertoire in Tamil, a language unfamiliar to most of their audience. Led by the dynamic Sachin Yesudas on vocals, Madras Mail comprises a talented ensemble including Durwin D’Souza on lead guitar, Michael Timothy on bass guitar, Akhil Babu on drums, and Tom Verghese on keys and synth.
Inspired by the bond between Kerala and Tamil Nadu symbolized by the iconic Madras Mail express train, the band adopted the name as proof of their shared camaraderie and cross-cultural influences.
What sets Madras Mail apart is not just their musical skills, but their ability to engage and inspire audiences on a deeply personal level. Their live shows are more than just performances; they are immersive experiences that blend music with storytelling, motivation, and audience interaction.
With each song, they invite listeners on a journey, sharing their experiences and encouraging them to savor every moment without the distraction of phones or cameras.
Despite their roots in Kerala, Madras Mail remains committed to composing original music exclusively in Tamil—a bold choice that has earned them acclaim and recognition in the Tamil music scene.
With a repertoire boasting original compositions and covers that span genres from funk to rock to soul, Madras Mail continues to impress audiences with its infectious energy, and compelling narratives.
