// THE BAND

… about the band...

Coming from Timisoara, Romania’s first communism-free city, PERSONA is hardly trying or willing to start a new musical revolution. They joined the difficult but blessed mission of playing rock'n'roll in its rawly beautiful energy, yet refined form.

Their music was labeled as brit pop (impossible: they are not British), indie (what’s that exactly?), alternative (well, I don’t know), pop (not likely, they use and abuse guitars), but they are neither of these. Or are they? The truth is that the songs are the true tellers of the tale and the 4 lads are merely their slaves.

Beautiful urban landscapes of sounds and mixed feelings and good moods, quiet introspection, accompanied by the seductive intensity of guitars, pure energy and positive vibe, sophisticated bass lines and explosive or warm drums, smooth acoustic guitar, nostalgia but optimism also are overlapping in their songs and are defining the PERSONA aestethics, making their audience explore different degrees of joy through their music.

For the debut album "SUBURBIA AFTERLIFE", PERSONA polished an exquisite yet original sound, celebratory and serious, melodramatic and classy rock'n'roll with pop hooks here and there, sometimes joyful and optimist, artful and cocky, that will not allow the audience to remain seated while enjoying it.
