Songs like “Joone Man”, “Donya”, and “Yavash Yavash” became anthems at Persian weddings, parties, and concerts across the globe. The band leaned heavily into dance, electronic, and pop styles while maintaining a strong connection to their Persian musical roots.

From their early days as a groundbreaking rock group in Tehran to their rebirth as a dance-pop sensation in Los Angeles, their influence spans multiple generations.
