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 ↴
I drink a cup of coffee trough a book
Uh there ain't no wonders better on
Except the little dirty picture on the wall
On the screen it's very hard for me to see
Trough the haze of
Dying children
Dying children
I grab a pen, try to draw a silly picture of a brain
Hoping that my own looked better
But it's all just bits of paper
And I am getting nowhere
This is just a very weak expression of how I felt that
Wooden, windy wedensday
Windy wedensday
Windy wedensday
I wanna do a masterpiece today
Paint pictures of the moments passed away-ay-ay-ay
Pour colors on the words I like
To say
Mm, on a brush there's a tiny yellow color remain
But I ain't gonn' give up on this now
Paint a sunroom on the seeling
Gonna make sure that it's blinding
This was just a very weak expression of how I felt that
Wooden windy wedensday
Windy wedensday
Windy wedensday
I wanna do a masterpiece today
Paint pictures of the moments passed away-ay-ay-ay
Pour colors on the words I like
To say
The lyrics to Kashmir's song "Yellow" depict the struggle of an artist trying to create something meaningful amidst the chaos in the world around them. The opening verse finds the artist coming home and throwing their leather jacket on the floor before settling down with a cup of coffee and a book. However, the only thing that catches their attention is a "little dirty picture on the wall". The next verse portrays the artist's frustration when trying to draw, feeling that their efforts are "just a very weak expression" of their emotions. The chorus expresses the desire to create a masterpiece, to "paint pictures of the moments passed away" and "pour colors on the words I like to say".
However, the bridge of the song takes a darker turn with the repetition of the phrase "dying children". This could represent the horrors that are happening in the world outside, juxtaposed against the desire to create something beautiful. The final verse finds the artist determined to keep pursuing their art, despite the obstacles. The line "on a brush there's a tiny yellow color remain" could symbolize holding onto hope and optimism, even in the face of darkness.
Overall, "Yellow" is a commentary on the struggle to create art that transcends the current state of the world, and the importance of persevering through difficult times to create something beautiful.
