The band released the tracks "Awari", "Bol Hu", and "Uth Jawana" through a Pakistani music platform Nescafe Basement under the mentorship of Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan, commonly known as Xulfi.[citation needed]
Bollywood director Mohit Suri featured Soch Band's track "Awari" in his 2014 film Ek Villain. Their song "Bol Hu" was included as the title track in the 2020 film Malang.[4][5]
