Music like Arbovirus

Arbovirus is a rock band based out of Dhaka, Bangladesh, formed by guitarist Suharto Sherif, and guitarist Asif Asgar (a.k.a. "Ranjan") while in College in 2002. The band grew to include bassist Ishtiaq Jishan, drummer Farhan Tanim and vocalist Sufi Maverick (Asrafuzzaman Yousufi).

The band's name is derived from the Blade II comic book, in which the virus is mentioned as the one that, once transmitted through saliva, turns human into a vampire. However, an arbovirus is actually a virus transmitted by arthropods such as ticks or mosquitoes (arthropod-borne virus).

Their lyrics cover various elements from self-recognition to the political disarray of Bangladesh, from the 9-6 corporate life to middle-east peace politics, although they focus on a broader humane and optimistic view.
