What's up Romania!!! From my research, Grimus is certainly one of the best band in Romania. Romania have a lot of great rock bands and there will be more Romania's band to be include in this site in the future. Based in Cluj- Napoca, their line up are Bogdan (Dabija) - vocals , Cristi - guitar
Lehel - keyboards ,Vali - guitar ,Titus - bass guitar, Tamas - drums.
Muse is the words that pop put from my mouth the first time I heard their music. I think Muse is their greatest influence. Vocal is so beautiful with nice music flow or in one word-Awesome!!.
Bunch of great songs in their pocket but the best is Backseat Driver from my music point of view. It has nice intro that make you want to listen to the full song. Projection of the voice suit perpectly with the music . Great job, Grimus!!
4rocker had send some questions to Grimus and these are the answers. Thanks for the time, Grimus!!
1) Please decribe the music of Elis Paprika.
The music of Grimus is a combination between a romanian archaic dance named Calusarii and the inspirational rear view of a grizzly bear attacking Thom Yorke.
2)Always, what are the songs all about?
They're all about the same thing, life-death, love-hate, egocentrism, fucking government lies, the traditional romanian food sarmale parachuted into the stomach swamps, looking for the sense, a reason to stay alive.
3) Who are the influences of Elis Paprika?Muse, am I right?
You're absolutely right, in fact, I think you are the first person that really understands our tormented souls. And of course, by saying Muse, you actually referred to bands like Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Archive, Placebo, God is an Astronaut, Sigur Ros, Bjork, She Wants Revenge...
4) What is Grimus greatest achievement so far?
-Excellency Awards, May 2009, (Transylvania Regional Awards): First Local Rock Band to release a nationwide radio hit-single (Backseat Driver)
-the release of our debut album Panikon (2008)
- GBOB London: Best New Romanian Band of (2007)
- Mediabefuto 2006, (Romanian Nationwide Contest): Best Original Song (Different Color Shoes)
5) Any latest updates about the bands? Any single coming out soon? Album?

Indeed, a great band. Although with many influences they have a unique and rich sound. Every song brings up something special, the lyrics are profound and their record offers you something new upon each listen. For those who want to give it a try and support the band, the album has just been made available on the iTunes store.
what does Elis Paprika have to do with Grimus? :)
