The band that represents the new wave of electronica in the country wowed Brit producer John Leckie (who has worked with the likes of Radiohead) last year and toured UK's The Great Escape Festival earlier this year.

Says Pol (27), "I've been with Medusa for about five years now. I just felt I needed a change."

Pol has a number of side projects including Conversations, a fusion band, Pulse Conversations with drummers Gino Banks and Jay Row Kavi and has been a guest drummer with Mumbai alt rock band Shor Bazaar.

"I don't have as much time as I would like for Medusa."

Time for a Change: Medusa toured UK's The Great Escape Festival earlier this year and is currently working on a new album
