Underside guitarist Bikrant Shrestha was at home in Kathmandu with his five-year-old daughter when the earthquake struck on April 25, 2015. Its magnitude was 7.8, and the epicentre was 60km northwest of the city. More than 600,000 structures were damaged or destroyed, and around 9,000 people were killed.

“Oh, it was terrible, seriously,” remembers Bikrant. “And then the second one happened, the next day.”
