Laal (literal English translation: "red") is a musical band from Pakistan known for singing socialist political songs, especially on the poetry written by leftist Urdu poets such as Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Habib Jalib. The band received mainstream attention during the Lawyers' Movement, in which it led support to the reinstatement of the then deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. In just one year the band has gained recognition all over Pakistan. They have performed in almost all the major cities as well as many smaller towns. On their fanclub page, Shahram has invited all to join the "Laal Tehreek", a revolutionary movement of young and enthusiastic revolutionaries committed to the emancipation of the people.
