Last night, Karachi witnessed one of the biggest rock events in the history of music — the Redbull Sound Clash, in which Ali Azmat and Umair Jaswal came face to face to represent two different generations of music.
In an interview with The Express Tribune, Umair Jaswal said of the event, “It will be very loud and interesting. The clash is of the ‘sound’ that we both have…Ali is one of my inspirations, you’ll see a lot of elements of Ali’s music in mine.”
“We look at songs differently, his music is from the old school lot and ours is of the new age. It’ll be great fun to see how these both come together,” he further added.

Needless to say, the event was a major hit as the musical mega giants went up against each other. Hosted by Ahmed Ali Butt, the clash opened with underground bands performing brilliantly before both Ali and Umair took to their separate stages and started rocking out to our favorite songs.
The clash had four rounds in total and artists such as Omran Shafique, Gumby, Meekal Hasan, Faraz Anwar performed alongside Ali Azmat and Umair Jaswal.
