London, December 23 : Pakistan''s first girl band, with Zeb and Haniya as its only members, have created a stir on the back of debut album `Chup', which recently received rave reviews in the country's major newspapers.
The two girls are ethnic Pashtuns, and their families hail from the town of Kohat in Pakistan''s North West Frontier Province, a region that has become synonymous with the Taleban and al-Qaeda.
"We''ve never lived there, but we do keep going back for family functions and get-togethers," the BBC quoted Haniya as saying.
The girls, however, made it clear that they wanted to be recognised for the quality of their music, not their background.
