E.M.I.L.
Band E.M.I.L. from Romania was founded in March 2000 and plays what it feels. In short punk-rock (second wave), a style popular (mainstream) in the United States - especially California, with influences from the same area: ska, reggae, dub, upsteady. The appearance of the band is a natural reaction to the rock scene of the `98 -` 00, which died styles dominated since the early 90's and 80's if not.
Since the beginning, E.M.I.L. There were two main musical influences: Green Day and Sublime - two fundamental bands punk-rock/ska development style (punk new wave) of the USA, in the `94 -` 00. This was the first direction in which they wrote and recorded the first six original songs that later appeared on the demo `aliens go winter skiing`
In the summer of 2000 the band has several appearances on television first, Pro, TVR, MCM and Atomic, and on December 8. 2000 takes place live debut of the group.
Follow his stage debut in March 2001 FIRE Club - Bucharest, club band that would later support EMIL a very long time - the period that lasts to this day. The band `increase 'in this club and begin to be invited to perform at events headlined Fire.
During this period starts to emerge atmosphere and attitude EMIL concerts, some concerts where the audience feels good, and the many friends of the band are always present. Concerts at that and 'newcomers' are friends with the band.
E.M.I.L. begin work on the first album and contains 12 songs in the purest style punk-rock/ska, and signed a contract with record label A & A Records. Condition of the A & A is the first album by EMIL be a E.P. (Less than 20 minutes) rather than a L.P. how prepared the body, so it keeps track of the 12 July, appearing in March 2003 under the title Green Cocktail. Meanwhile, the band filmed the video for Flowering Trees - video that is aired on TV stations during the launch of the EP's Green Cocktail. The disc is successful in the first months of its release due to band concerts, but interest in this disc gradually decreases due to the lack of involvement of the record in radio and TV promotion of the product. There was the inevitable termination of contact with A & A and promoting independent band in the coming years.
E.M.I.L. begin to be observed and the main underground music festivals in the country: StudentFest (Timisoara), Downhill Fest (Poiana Brasov), backups (Buzau), and of course Stufstock (Vama Veche) - where the first edition in August 2003, about 30 - 40 friends were on stage to perform with EMIL, at which the festival was interrupted for a few minutes and recital ended prematurely
