The band consists of the members:
Kasper Eistrup (vocals & guitar)
Mads Tunebjerg (bass)
Asger Techau (drums)
Henrik Lindstrand (keyboards & guitar).
Their earlier albums were musically in the vein of Primus and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but with their third full length album their style changed dramatically to be influenced by Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, a style often characterised by newcomers as in the same veins as Coldplay, however Kashmir has in Kasper Eistrup, an original text writer and singer, who can hardly be summarized as anything close to Chris Martin.
To this date, the band have released seven full length albums. Their latest, E.A.R. (2013). With the release of NBP, the band yet again changed direction musically to be inspired by artists such as Sonic Youth and other noise rockers.
It should be noted that there also was a Swiss band with the same name which was active between 1979 and 1982. Consisting of keyboarder Patrice Guenat and singer Henry Dubelly, they produced two albums that range between synthesizer pop and neo-progressive genres.
Another danish band in the 70s was also called Kashmir or more correctly "Jørgen Thomsen & Kashmir", but due to Spotify (Kashmir, Jørgen Thomsen tag) they will scrobble as Kashmir, despite being a backing band at least on the 1972 record they recorded:
Jørgen Thomsen was backed by prominent musicains in "Kashmir": Nils Tuxen (Savage Rose, Flemming Hansen (bass), Ken Gudman at drums and Carl Åge Isaksen on piano.
Kashmir - The Band (Urdu: کشمیر ـ دی بینڈ) is an alternative rock band from Karachi, Pakistan. It is the winning band of Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017. The band consist of Bilal Ali (vocalist), Vais Khan (lead guitarist), Usman Siddiqui (bass guitarist), Shane J. Anthoney (drummer), Zair Zaki (rhythm guitarist), and Ali Raza (keyboardist).

Don't Look Back It's Probably Hypochondriac Jack Having A Heart Attack
Kashmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found a friend in a medicine magazine that I had seen.
I keep my friend in a glass far away from the mass, and I'm kinda keen on my mean man medicine.
Now I will be sitting here all alone and on my own, me, myself and I on my hurting broken bones.
Stones in my head and in my back, feels as if I'm gonna have a heart attack Oh what a drag,
I'm probably going to die I cannot open my eyes anymore, think it's because that I'm sick and feel ill,
so I believe my doctorman saying: "Take pills and get skills.
Take pills and get skills.
Now it's time for me to sing out my pains for everyone.
Trust me when I'm crying, 'cause I'm dying.
All the friends that I once had, have left me for a life so sad.
I quit to eat both weat and meat, I hardly use my toilet seat.
I've lost my sense of humour, must have been eaten by that tumor in my toe.
Now it's time for me to sing out my pains for everyone.
Trust me when I'm crying, 'cause I'm dying.
The song "Don't Look Back It's Probably Hypochondriac Jack Having A Heart Attack" by Kashmir explores the theme of paranoia and hypochondria. The lyrics describe a person who believes they are seriously ill and is obsessed with taking medicine to cure themselves. The singer is shown to be isolated from their friends and family who have become distant due to their constant overthinking and complaining. The song culminates in the singer crying out for help, as they believe they are dying.
The line "I found a friend in a medicine magazine" suggests that the singer is reliant on self-diagnosing through sources like the internet or relying on medication without proper medical consultation. The lyrics also highlight the singer's isolation and paranoia, as they believe they are on their own with their illness. The phrase "Take pills and get skills" implies that the singer believes that taking drugs will make them feel better and be more productive.
Overall, the lyrics showcase the dangers of hypochondria and overthinking, as well as the importance of seeking professional help for mental and physical health concerns.

@Zipped90 I think the change is also because of the times, this kind of music was more the type of music that was being made, I mean for grunge bands, and they've evolved , but I don't think for money, just found a sound that they are comfortable but still have the esence of kashmir.
