The band has a varied set; they have a collection of original music that has a distinct sound and lyrics that are drawn from personal experiences. The music has influences from all over the world, however the biggest influence is Bombay city. The band is a big fan of popular acts like The Dave Matthews Band, Jamie Cullum, The Beatles, The Cat Empire, Tower of Power and Animal Liberation Orchestra. STR is heavily influenced by the music,pulse, spirit and vibe of world music greats like Herbie Hancock, Fela Kuti, Ali Farka Toure, Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval, Manu Chao, Bob Marley, Richard Bona, Maceo Parker and Miles Davis. The band makes it a habit of twisting up the old ‘bollywood’ classics from the golden era (1950-1979) with funked up, jazz and big band arrangements...bringing back the old school vibe! Something Relevant treats the old classics and popular Indian folk songs as their ‘jazz standards’, so to speak, after having grown up listening to these tunes, thanks to their elder family members!
