Ten years on, through several iterations and releases, Chennai based four-piece The F16s have been churning towards an ongoing refinement of their vision.

From their 2013 debut Kaleidoscope, to 2014’s “Nobody’s Gonna Wait” recorded at Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn, through to their 2016 full-length breakthrough "Triggerpunkte", and 2019’s ode to companionship “WKND FRNDS” , this vision has mirrored both a maturity of execution and a certain gravity from listeners worldwide - as thirty million Spotify streams and coverage in StereoGum, Brooklyn Vegan, Flood and Variety clearly suggest.

Th group followed that up with 2021’s “Is It Time to Eat the Rich, Yet?”, a joyful celebration of the human condition under duress. The subsequent sold out Rock n Roll is Dead Tour took the band nationwide and cemented their position as a once-in-a-lifetime live music powerhouse.

A mainstay of the country's festival circuit, the 4-piece also performed at the inaugural edition of Lollapalooza in Mumbai with personal heroes The Strokes, at Bandlands with Amyl & the Sniffers and The War on Drugs, and at Baybeats in Singapore alongside Otoboke Beaver within the same year.

Selective in their process, calculated in their execution, and blessed with the solitude of the hills, the band are now on the cusp of a new full-length release which will see the light in early-2025.
