[edit] Etymology

"ROX3N" or "ROXEN is derived from the urdu word "ROZEN" which means "A hole in a wall of a prison cell from which a ray of light emerges & gives hope & freshness".(Rozen-E-Deewar). Name of the band was suggested by Kashaan, a friend of Mustafa Zahid

[edit] Music

Roxen was formed back in September 2004 with initial line up of Mustafa a.k.a musti , Jawad a.k.a Jodi and Omar & came out with their debut song "Yaadein" which labeled them as "another jal-wannabe band" and the song failed to leave a good impact.

After a couple of months they came out with web release of another song called "tau phir aoo" with its demo version. The song registered over 65000 downloads in one month[1]. After adding another young talent Haider from Lahore underground the band started working on there debut album at Xth Harmonic in October 2005 and later came out with another audio/video of there track "Sapnay" directed by Ahmed Ali Butt.

With tints of pop and dark shades of rock too, Roxen hit the market with there debut album on August 31st, 2006, titled "Rozen-e-Deewar" released under Fire Records(Pakistan), Hom Records(India) & Sangeet Records(USA, Canada, North America & almost all over the world)
