THE BACKGROUND:
Music and controversy sometimes go hand in hand; it’s been three loooooong years since we’ve seen another controversial political satire song. Back in 2008, it was Shehzad Roy with “Laga Reh” which included the socio-political matters of Pakistan – it is currently one of the most talked-about-controversial songs coming out from a Pakistani singer in my opinion.

However, 2011 brings out something fresh; Beygairat Brigade – a new band from Lahore comprising of Ali Aftab Saeed, Daniyal Malik, and Hamza Malik. Their first, as well as their breakthrough, single “Aalu Anday” (eggs and potatoes) have been a major hit, with over 76000+ shares on facebook and 100,000 YouTube video views in just a week.
