Bandbaja
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bandbaja is Pakistan's first online music magazine. Formed in 2003 by several college students, the magazine received immediate recognition because of its relentless critique of the Pakistani music scene.
The popularity of Bandbaja gave rise to several similar online music websites and portals through out Pakistan.
Bandbaja is known for its blunt views and the promotion of modern popular music as a social and even political tool. Although Bandbaja was hailed by many as Pakistani music journalism's finest moment, die-hard fans of bands that have been on the receiving end of Bandbaja's harsh criticism seem less than impressed by the effort.
As of 2006, the website is off line. It is expected to come back sometime in the future, however several bloggers doubt the return of Bandbaja because it has been off line for several months and no new material has been posted, the main page of the magazine is just the BandBaja logo.
