The Watson Brothers hailed from the underground scene when members of Cryptic Fate and The Attempted Band (TAB) got together while performing in various concerts. Although both bands played different genres of music, the members took up a different music style by compromising and getting a win-win situation. It worked, rather amazingly. And soon The Watson Brothers gained a huge reputation among the UG scene. The Watson Brothers, consisting of Shakib, Imran, Farhan and the witty Arafat Kazi, released their only release so far "Ohom" in 2003, under the label of G-Series. Since then, the band is in hiatus as the CF members have moved on to their band, and Arafat Kazi has stayed in the US. The hit song, "Akash" was taken up as the theme of telecom company GrameenPhone's 'Djuice' campaign and was featured (albeit, with different vocals) in Amitabh Reza's TVCs for 'Djuice'.

'Megher Deshe' is Sumon's 3rd solo work, perhaps his most ambitious one. It is a tribute to John Denver. Sumon describes in the album sleeves about how he came to know about Denver, and how his songs inspired him to do a cover in Bangla. It seemed like a wild idea, but it worked. And soon with the help of 'Khaled Bhai' of G-Series and Iqbal Asif Jewel, he released it in 2005. He also collaborated with Nazia and Elita (of Raaga) for the female vocals.

Khaled 'Bassbaba' Sumon, is a legendary figure in Bangla music scene. Not only as a bassist, he's also famous for being a very good album co-ordinator. His 'Agontuk' series proves that. However, before this, when he was the bassist for Warfaze, he released his first solo album 'Sumon O Aurthohin' in 1997. It featured 18 musicians of 8 heavyweight bands of that time. In the track 'Aurthohin' (which would later serve as a name for his own band) he featured the then vocalist of Warfaze, Sunjoy and 8 of the most prominent guitarists who played a staggering collection of 27 different solos. This was a big feat for Sumon, and from there onwards, he has made a great contribution to the Bangla music scene. [click on the images to view larger sizes]  Track List 01. Tomar Jonno Noy 02.
