The first pieces of music from Rock Four were written in Hebrew, such as the 1991 released single HaKa'as, which was well received by the public in Israel and found the entrance to the Israeli rock charts.

After the band had various style and made ​​of cast changes they finally took place in 1995 with her second studio album Ha'ish Shera'a Hakol ( in German: The man who saw it all ) to their own style, which they largely remained true to this day. The music on this album was mainly based on the psychedelic rock of the sixties, which was further emphasized by the use of used vintage instruments and recording equipment. For the album six music videos were filmed. All were held in Amateur Vintage film clips, accompanied by footage of the band in the same style.
