Garage Monsters Inc. was formed one week before IIT-M Saarang Jan, 2004. The band formed “just for kicks” and was initially a classic rock/metal (toto, extreme, van halen, megadeth, satch) band. Formed by Britto and lead guitarist, Josh, the band also had Cliff on rhythm, Sanjeev on bass and Nikhil on vocals. For those who hear own compositions of GMI, it has a very Alternative Rock feel to them – “A mixture between Pearl Jam and Extreme… but not quite!”. GMI played regularly at the Unwind Center and was also selected to play in the JRO festival in July 2004.They also landed a gig at Dublin, Park Sheraton alongside two of India's most successful bands – Parikrama and Silk Route. The monsters' next step to fame was being selected to play at the Great Indian Rock 2005 organized by RSJ in Delhi.
