Corduroy are a 5-piece hard rock unit from Pakistan that endeavor to make melodic rock music that arcs between the pop sensibilities of Collective Soul and REM, to the full-on testosterone thrust of Pearl Jam and the Stone Temple Pilots .Throw in a lead guitar player inspired by master technicians Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen, and you have a band aspiring to not only put their individual stamp on the music they make, but also be regarded as good musicians. Formed in 2002, they are often compared to such diverse bands as Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Alice in Chains, Van Halen and Grand Funk Railroad etc, Corduroy pride themselves on their moody diversity, something that will comes to the fore once their debut disc is released in December.
