Beautiful urban landscapes of sounds and mixed feelings, quiet introspection, pure energy and positive vibe, sophisticated bass lines and explosive or warm drums, nostalgia, but optimism also, rock and roll in its raw, beautiful energy, yet refined form are overlapping in their songs, defining the Persona aesthetics, making their audience explore different degrees of emotional intensity through their music.
The band’s music is, indeed, one of British influence, but cannot be strictly labeled – the musical background and influences of each of the members, refined by the experience and artistic maturity – all blend together in the PERSONA genre.
Discography: “Suburbia Afterlife”( 2010, EMG Records Germany)
Persona's Suburbia Afterlife album charts the band's creative musical journey from their beginning and contains 10 of the best songs written by the band. Combining raw guitar playing with synths and pop melodies, with a touch of good old rock'n'roll and funk, Suburbia Afterlife reveals itself to the listener not much as a "concept-album”, but more like a collection of songs, each one with its own identity.
Apart from a huge number of club gigs in Romania’s major cities, Persona has played at the most important Romanian open air festivals (Stufstock, B’estfest, Peninsula, UnderLondon, Revolution Festival, etc) sharing the same stage with bands as dEUS, The Charlatans, The Ting Tings, Tricky, Santana, Parov Stelar, DubFX, Robots in Disguise, Trash Fashion, The Swan Bride (SK) or Amber Smith (HU).
Abroad, Persona played twice at the famous Budapest “A38” Club and also in Germany, at Firefield Festival in Brunswick, Gelnhausen and Berlin.
After a 3 years break from the music scene, in 2018 Persona returned with an exclusive show for „Revolution Festival” Timisoara, altogether with a video release of a new single, „100 Lies”, filmed and edited by „Electronic Resistance”. Also, „Miscommunication” track was recorded live at U-Man shop Timisoara, for „Made in TM” annual compilation, and will be released on vinyl sometime in 2019.
Meanwhile, new songs were written, work still in progress, songs that will be featured on the upcoming album.
