Meera

Not long after O-Hum this Rock band was introduced in Iran, releasing their first album inside Iran, which later became the Top seller album in Iran. What is very interesting in their music, Particularly in the song "Wound", is mixing Persian music with western style rock which results in a new kind of experience. Ofcourse they are not pioneers of this style but yet they have done it very well. One thing I really don't like about them is their vocals. Its composed badly and sang very mediocre, at the same time the guitar solos are simple and brilliant, mainly because Babak Akhoundi, the band's guitarist, is undoubtedly one of the most professional Iranian guitarists and composers.
This is the Music Video for the Song "Wound".Listen carefully to the Persian Instrumnet called Ghichak, which plays a counterpoint melody in the back. It is really cool to see some of the Tehran Ladscapes in the video.
