The name of this week’s act on Maed in India is enough to get us pumped for this episode, but did you know they were not originally called what they are now? We’re talking about alternative/indie pop band The Lightyears Explode, and on today’s episode, Mae gets to know from vocalist/guitarist Saurabh Roy, bassist Shalom Benjamin and guitarist Jishnu Guha, how they called themselves 'The Mighty Scoundrels' at one point, their self-titled debut EP that is can’t be found online, their musical evolution, and they also give us a taste of what their next album is going to sound like with some electric live performances!

Song List:

Fighting With Your Family (01:20 - 04:52)

We Don’t Surrender (16:01 - 19:53)

The Pigs Have Eyes (27:53 - 30:33)
