Kiosk is an Iranian underground music band known for blending sardonic lyrics with rock and jazz elements, creating music that often reflects the social and political landscape of contemporary Iran. Founded in 2003 by Arash Sobhani in Tehran, Kiosk faced the restrictions of the Iranian music scene, leading them to continue their work outside of their home country. The band's sound is marked by a unique fusion of various genres, coupled with lyrics that are poetically charged and critical, exploring themes of despair, love, and social criticism.

Over the years, Kiosk has become a voice for a generation of Iranians both at home and in the diaspora. Their albums, such as "Stereo Tull Presents" and the remastered version of the same name, as well as "Condition Orange (Live)," showcase their evolution and commitment to artistic expression in the face of censorship. With a discography that includes thought-provoking tracks like "Michael Jackson Passed Away" and "Daro Va Kon," Kiosk continues to resonate with fans who appreciate their blend of melody and message. They have managed to gain an international following, performing at various venues and festivals around the world, solidifying their place as one of the most significant contemporary Iranian bands.
