Pakistan's most loved musical band STRINGS part ways

After having entertained us for over 33 years Pakistan’s most loved musical band lead by Bilal Maqsood & Faisal Kapadia finally decide to wrap up the band.

The news immediately went viral when the duo posted an official social media status which said:-

“Hey guys. This post is a bit different from the usual. We have decided that today, 25/03/2021, is the day we graciously get to conclude STRINGS.

The past 33 years have been incredible for both of us. It’s so rare to have the chance to be able to do things like this and we are infinitely grateful to all of our fans for making it possible. We hope you found it worthwhile as well 🙂

While the band technically may not be together anymore, both of us share an inseparable bond that will connect us no matter where life takes us.

Thank you so much for everything.”

Strings were an internationally acclaimed Pakistani pop rock band composed of two members, plus four live band members from Karachi, Pakistan. The band was initially formed by four college students—Bilal Maqsood (vocals and guitars), Faisal Kapadia (vocals), Rafiq Wazir Ali (synthesizer) and Kareem Bashir Bhoy (bass guitar)—in 1988.

In 1992 the quartet disbanded, only to make a comeback with Maqsood and Kapadia in 2000.

While the initial band rode the new wave of Pakistani pop music, the later lineup ushered a revival in the Pakistani music industry.

Thankyou for entertaining us over the years. The end of an era.
