Founded in 2008, blending hard rock’s rich legacy with their unique vision.
Founded in 2008 by guitarist Shibu Joshua, Q8 embarked on a journey of exploring hard rock, blending its rich legacy with their unique artistic vision. The early years saw Q8 releasing originals like the evocative “Akkarapacha” and collaborating with a rotating lineup of guest artists.
Now, in 2024, Q8 is relaunching with renewed vigor. The current lineup brings together founding member Shibu Joshua (guitars), along with a new team comprising Rosepriya Kannath (vocals), Rhoopahk (drums), Abin Vincent (bass) and Roopak Jude (keys).
