Fossils is a Rock band from Kolkata, formed in 1998 by Rupam.. The group is considered as one of the pioneer rock acts in Kolkata's Bangla music scene. Their music is flavoured by a blend of blues, grunge, hard rock, alternative rock and psychedelia, along with Rupam Islam's vocal renditions of his characteristic psychoanalytical lyrics. They are noted for their social commentary and advocation of causes such as the welfare of HIV positive people. Thus, the band name was meant to convey a sense of an "underground" movement that the members felt they had initiated and their belief that they would be fossilized into history under the pressure of social disapproval of their music, only to be excavated decades later by musicologists wishing to discover the roots of Bangla rock.
