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).

Kashmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from the questioning tongues
and eyes that just won't come off
and get a job in a industry
where a smile's not required
and complaints are always the same
cause baby you must be so fed up
how much good he's gonna do
when all that is happening 'round here
is happening in here
and nothing gets out there
except for the truth
it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb
it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb
I've been adrift on the silver surf
and I've paddled ahead of the fear
that I'd fall behind
I took drinks from the glitter smurfs
and their company dads who never
stood by in the crying
cause no one does and nobody ever will
there is only space for one
and surely he gets killed
when the engine seizes up
you might call it existential crisis
I simply call it the bravery
of emptiness
it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb
it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb
The song "Surfing the Warm Industry" by Kashmir is about escaping the cycle of apathy and meaningless work in society. The lyrics describe the desire to leave behind the constant questioning and judgment from others and find a job where a fake smile isn't required and complaints are expected. The singer acknowledges that their partner must be tired of hearing about their plans to make a difference when nothing seems to change.
The song also touches on the idea of existential crisis and the fear of being left behind in society. The singer describes being adrift on the "silver surf," representing the superficial and shallow parts of society, while trying to avoid falling behind. They have taken drinks from the "glitter smurfs," or the wealthy elite, who never stand by during times of struggle. The singer acknowledges that in a world where there is only space for one, they may fall victim to the engine seizing up, or the pressures of society overwhelming them.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of disillusionment and numbness with the current state of society, and the desire to break free from it all.
