British India emerged from the fertile underbelly of Melbourne’s independent music scene to take Australia by storm in July 2007, with their acclaimed debut album Guillotine. As their songs "Black & White Radio", "Tie Up My Hands", "Run The Red Light" and "Teenage Mother" became arm-raising, air-punching anthems at venues and festivals across the country, British India developed a hard-earned reputation for their explosive live shows. They took out the 2007 AIR Award for Best New Independent Artist.

Exactly one year later, the boys released their second album Thieves, which debuted Top 5 in the ARIA charts and #1 in the AIR charts. Thieves demonstrated the band’s growth, both as songwriters and musicians as heard in the brooding, foot-stomping singles "I Said I’m Sorry," "This Dance Is Loaded," "You Will Die And I Will Take Over" and "God Is Dead (Meet The Kids)", and earned the boys their first ARIA Award nomination.

British India are one of Australia’s hardest working bands, having played over 300 gigs in the past two years alone. They’ve smashed their way through several sell-out tours and festivals like Big Day Out, Falls, Pyramid Rock, Southbound, Homebake and Splendour In The Grass.  British India’s live show is a force to be reckoned with.

The band have earned their place as the indie darlings of Australia’s underground music scene in more ways than one. Having resisted the temptation of the major record labels the boys remain unsigned and more independent than ever before.

Their latest album Avalanche is jam packed with brilliant pop melodies, high-octane rock & roll. "Vanilla" released exclusively to Triple J became the station’s most popular download in November and gave the boys their 3^rd entry in Triple J Hottest 100.
