Wikipedia: Hypernova is an Iranian indie-rock band based in Tehran. The band is made up of Raam, Kami, Kodi, Jam and Poya. Raam is the lead vocalist, Kodi is the lead guitarist, Kami is the drummer, Jam plays bass and Poya plays the rhythm guitar/Synths. Like many other Iranian rock bands, the group was formed in the wake of president Khatami's relaxed stance on cultural policies in Iran in the late 1990s and the early decade of the 21st century. Arguably, Hypernova is at the forefront of the Iranian "rock" movement, recently garnering the most attention and press coverage. This is not just due to the novelty of them being a rock band from Iran, but because they are being recognized as a solid rock band, with accomplished musicians that produce well-written songs>>>
