There is more than one band named Ayurveda. There is a French group from Poitiers who play some rock 'n' roll influenced music. And then there is Ayurveda from Ithaca, New York. Ayurveda, the band, is a five-member group based in Ithaca, New York. Their sound, as it exists on their debut album Being, is heavy rock music — the album was produced by Alex Perialas, known for his work with Anthrax, Testament and Bad Religion — with all the thunderous guitar riffs and freight-train rhythms one might expect given the 13-track set’s pedigree. But Ayurveda’s music has a delicacy, and an intelligent tonality; and singer Tom Burchinal’s lyrics, while not afraid of the darkness, explore a more positive, spiritual reality consistent with their namesake. Their second album, "Down the Staircase" was released on September 18, 2009. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Ayurveda">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
