Band History
In the heart of Kathmandu, ancient temples stand firm against the Himalayan backdrop. The streets buzzed with chaotic harmony. A storm was quietly brewing in the 1990s—one that would soon erupt onto the music scene and forever rewrite the rules of Nepali rock. That storm was CobWeb.
Emerging from when Western rock influences were beginning to trickle into Nepal’s urban youth culture, CobWeb wasn’t just a band—they were a bold statement. Their sound, a raw and powerful fusion of classic hard rock and uniquely Nepali lyrical storytelling, caught on like wildfire among the country’s growing crowd of music lovers. What started as a group of passionate young musicians playing in underground gigs and local clubs soon turned into a national movement.
CobWeb’s early years were about grit, rebellion, and a refusal to conform. At a time when soft melodies and traditional instruments dominated mainstream Nepali music, the band came in loud and unapologetic—with distorted guitars, crashing drums, and anthemic choruses that echoed the frustrations, dreams, and spirit of a restless generation. Their breakout track, “Maryo ni Maryo,” wasn’t just a hit—it became an anthem, chanted in school hallways, blaring from cassette players, and rocking concert stages from Kathmandu to Pokhara.
But CobWeb wasn’t just noise and rebellion. Beneath the surface of their electrifying sound was a deep-rooted sincerity. Their lyrics often touched on social issues, youth identity, love, and the existential search for purpose in a rapidly changing Nepal. They gave voice to thousands of young people who felt unseen, unheard, and disconnected in a society still trying to find its modern rhythm. Their music became a mirror, reflecting the hopes and struggles of a generation navigating between tradition and change.
What set CobWeb apart was its authenticity. They didn’t try to be a Nepali version of Western rock bands—they created something entirely their own. Yes, you could hear echoes of Guns N’ Roses and Metallica in their riffs, but the soul of CobWeb was undeniably local. Their songs often included Nepali folk melodies and poetic lyrics that grounded them in the soil they grew from. This ability to blend global influence with local flavor earned them such a devoted fan base.
Over the years, CobWeb evolved—but never sold out. Their sound matured as band members came and went, but the spirit remained. Albums like “Rolling Strings” and “Rock n Roll” showed their growth as musicians and storytellers. Each release brought something new, yet somehow familiar—like a friend who changes over the years but whose core you always recognize.
What’s most impressive about CobWeb is its staying power. In a country where music trends come and go, and artists often fade into obscurity after a few years, CobWeb has remained a force. They’ve weathered political upheaval, cultural shifts, and the rise of digital media, all while staying true to who they are. Massive crowds continue to attend their live performances, and their songs speak to older fans who grew up with them and younger audiences discovering them for the first time.
More than three decades into their journey, CobWeb has become more than just a band—a cultural institution. They’ve inspired countless young musicians to pick up guitars, form bands, and believe in the power of honest, homegrown music. They’ve shown that rock isn’t just noise—it’s identity, passion, and connection.
In the story of Nepali music, CobWeb isn’t just a chapter. They’re a turning point.
