Its members were signed to major record label EMI Records and afterwards released their self-titled debut album ''Junoon'' in 1991.〔 After two years, the band recorded their second album ''Talaash'' (1993) with their new bassist Brian O'Connell after Nusrat Hussain left the band. The release of their second album began to create a cult following for the band. In 1996, Junoon released their third album ''Inquilaab'', and it was only then that Junoon developed a nationwide fan following, with blending rock guitars and bluesy vocals with Eastern elements like the use of tablas, raga-inspired melodies, traditional Pakistani folk music, and Eastern-inspired poetry.〔 The following year, the band recorded the critically acclaimed ''Azadi'' (1997), being the band's first international record deal, and making it Junoon's debut album in neighbouring India. The band went on to record and release ''Parvaaz'' in 1999. The band found renewed success and popularity starting with 2001's ''Andaz'' and through 2003's ''Dewaar'' and their supporting tours.
After the release of their seventh studio album, vocalist Ali Azmat and lead guitarist Salman Ahmad went on to pursue a career as a solo singer, while bassist Brian O' Connell returned to his native United States.〔(A band is dead.
