=== Brown Brigade (2006–2008) ===
On May 11, 2006, Baksh announced in a statement through his management company that he was leaving Sum 41 for personal reasons. He explained that he could not keep trying to express himself through guitar skills without being a pain to the band. During the post-''Chuck'' hiatus, he decided it was time to move on from Sum 41 and to focus on his side project [[Brown Brigade]], his new band that he founded with his cousin Vaughn Lal and with which he currently plays lead guitar.

Brown Brigade's debut album ''[[Into the Mouth of Badd(d)ness]]'' was released September 18, 2007, in Canada and [[Japan]] only and became critically successful, even though it was not released widely in the US and have not brought the band any outside attention, the band still continues to tour Canada in support of the album.

Baksh stated that the band is currently working on new and experimental songs to be released for free on the band's website. The new songs, unlike the band's traditional music, would feature varied music such as [[punk rock]], [[funk]] and [[reggae]] and not [[Heavy metal music|metal]] like the debut album.

In a show that took place on March 27, 2008, in [[Toronto, Ontario]], Baksh joined Sum 41 to play "Pain for Pleasure" at the end of the show. Some thought this was a hint of him returning to the band, however, Deryck Whibley said that Baksh's appearance was a one-off [[cameo appearance|cameo]] and that he would continue with Brown Brigade.

On September 12, 2008, Baksh announced on the Brown Brigade's [[Myspace]] page that he would quit singing for the band, but would remain as the lead guitarist. The band was looking for a new lead singer to work on new material. On November 27, 2009, Baksh announced that due to his cousin [[Vaughn Lal]]'s involvement in his business, they intended to keep [[Brown Brigade]] strictly a studio act, releasing single songs and collaborating in the studio with many different artists, with a small chance of playing live. Baksh's main focus will be [[Organ Thieves]] and Vaughn's main focus will be his new business.
