Dude these are dope! I need to give them all an authentic listen, I really dig Vedeți Că Asta E Lungă & the Silent Strike "Need u Now" songs after a quick 30 second preview of each.

I remember when Romania seemed so behind musically to Americans when O Zone - "Dragostea din tei Majahi Majahoo" went viral lmaooo. It was like they were releasing their version of our 90's boy band music when we had already moved passed that to gangster rap and "emo rock". But I guess the internet and time changed that.

None of these are mainstream though...

I discovered "Am fost la munte si mi-a placut" recently and they are nice to listen on a bike ride.

MesQuins is kind of a weird one, made by Silviu Gherman (and Ovidiu Chihaia), a comedian that makes absurd comedy, this band is kind of ironic, making fun of non-conformism but also has interesting topics. For example my favorite song is Mentorica which presents the perspective of a man who is desperate for fun, he is selling books and doesn't talk with anybody, he wants to try drugs but feels so out of the loop, it feels so weird, you kind of identify with him in this era, you spend more time by yourself and you suddenly realise you want to have fun.

Invaders from Silent Strike is my favorite song and is in the intro of "Hackerville" made by HBO.

Alternosfera feels very intense sometimes, you get caught in the rythm, once I almost showed my christian parents that I love rock listening to one of their songs.
