LRB is the first band in Bangladeshi Band history to release two double albums and surprisingly enough, boldly of course their 1st album was a double album. The type was hard rock based like Madhobi, Dhakar Sondha etc.The public were not acquainted with that kind of music in Bangla before; the album was a huge success.

He composed and played guitar in many songs for other artists; as a result, has gained a respectable fame among the musicians of Bangladesh. Nevertheless, Ayub Bachchu has contributed heavily to the development of Bangladeshi Rock Music. He is popular equally as a Singer as well as a Guitarist and Composer. He dedicated himself to promote all instrument players of Bangladesh and make instrument playing more popular here.
