 The long awaited album will be available in music stores around the country and overseas and also in several other digital platforms and online sources such as iTunes, Flipkart etc. This will be followed by an all India Hard Rock Café tour and the album promotions.

 The GATC’s first official music video for the song ‘ANGEL’ is regularly being aired on the internationally renowned music channel VH1 since 29th of July 2014. The song ‘Angel’ was the band’s first ever recorded song back in 2009.

The Lyrics/composition was then done by Girish Pradhan, and the music had been arranged by Yogesh Pradhan.

The song was initially released as a single sponsored by Live & Loud – Gangtok, Sikkim and was also featured on TNT magazine’s compilation album. The song was also available on the internet sites such as reverbnation, sound cloud, youtube etc., which gave the band its first recognition.

The music video has now been directed and shot by Vikram Yoganand (Smart Screen productions). Since the lyrics of the song is about how people wish and pray to the various entities of hope such as the universe, God, shooting stars, Angels, etc,  just to be remembered and to fulfil their dreams, the story in the video is about a girl who has her dreams, her ambitions to become an actor and how she struggles and faces the hardships in life to finally make it happen. 

The lead character in the video has been played by Karishma Pradhan (actor/model) hailing from Gangtok, Sikkim. Its current achievement marks GATC as the first band hailing from Sikkim to be featured in an international music channel.(EOIC)
