"SONGS THAT SPEAK TO GENERATIONS"

says BBC World. ‘Kiosk's scathing political satire is hidden in its blues and folk sound... Their lyrics are a social commentary on the issues that affect the daily lives of Iranians worldwide.’ Time Magazine noted the band's popularity and power, writing: ‘A band that can criticise the Iranian government without reprisal.’
