Aamir Zaki - Post-Alamgir

Post-Alamgir

Post-Alamgir, Zaki formed three rock groups in quick succession: "The Barbarians", "Axe Attack" and then "Scratch". Axe Attack was the only band that made an album called "The Bomb" whose title track was about the Bohri Bazaar bomb blast. It was the first English album recorded in Pakistan and perhaps for that reason, all music companies refused to release it. However, some years later, the rhythm guitarist, Nadeem Ishtiaq took it to Australia where some songs somehow made it to the radio. Back in Pakistan, the album lay forgotten and the frustrated band disbanded and Zaki was once again on his own.
