When UTN1 first formed in the late '90s, the Baghdad boys rebelled against conservative Muslim culture by embracing fun and frivolous Western pop. But they're no longer writing escapist fare; after fleeing to Lebanon, all they want to write about is Iraq. Produced by Matthew Cavnar.
Well done.... they Rock
Didn't think that they would be interviewed by you.
I heard section of their English songs, they seem good
I know that band, heard their Arabic tracks.
They need a big backup, marketing wise and other things.
