In an article by NPR, the band THE HU was highlighted as "a band from Mongolia that merges the screaming guitars of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian guttural singing," elaborating on the significance of culture and the band's distinctive musical identity. Gala, Jaya, Temka and Enkush are a modern rock band with roots in Mongolian culture that was founded in Ulaanbaatar. Dashka, the band's producer, created "Yuve Yuve" and "Wolf Totem," the two most well-known music videos for the group. The term "Hunnu Rock" refers to the band's distinctive blending of traditional instruments such the Morin Khuur (horsehead violin), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp) and throat singing with modern sounds. The band's name translates to the Mongolian root word for "human being."
The Gereg, their first album, debuted at the top of both the world album and top new artist charts. The band has amassed over 250 million streams and video views with it to date and publications including Billboard, NPR, GQ, The Guardian, The Independent, Revolver and even Sir Elton John himself have given it positive reviews.
THE HU have amassed a diverse following of fans by selling out venues all around the world in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. They also have booked festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Download Festival and other events. Metallica invited the band to record "Through The Never" for their Metallica Blacklist album, which was released alongside other high-profile guest artists like Miley Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Phoebe Bridgers, J Balvin, St. Vincent and so many more. Most recently, the band received praise from fans and critics for their Mongolian rendition of Metallica's "Sad But True." The band has also experimented with a variety of strategies to engage listeners with their music, most notably by producing and recording the soundtrack for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by EA Games..
