Junoon is making their way into US TV/websites…

You can listen to their music on VH1 and WindowsMedia websites

Islamabad: Rock City
Premieres Thursday, Nov. 29 at 10/9c

Pakistan has become a key piece of real estate for America’s war on terrorism. But between the Islamic extremism, anti-Americanism, and political instability, there’s still room for rock music. Just ask fans of Junoon, an emerging global rock phenomenon often called “the U2 of Pakistan.” VH1 talks to the band, the fans who love them, and Islamic militants who hate them, showing you what it means to be a rock star in Pakistan.

Taliban”
