Celelalte Cuvinte (English:The Other Words) is a Romanian rock band formed in December 1981 by Călin Pop (lead vocals, lead guitar, and blockflöte/recorder), Marcel Breazu (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Leontin Iovan (drums), while they were still students at the Politehnica University of Timișoara in Timișoara, Banat, south-western Romania.
[1] The initial name of the band was "Sonic"[2] when they were still performing as university students and they were one of the most favourite musical acts of Florian Pittiș who also had an important and proactive role in endorsing them to larger audiences.
Having won a couple of song-contests and being invited to various festivals, the band was signed to the state-owned record Electrecord label and managed to release 4 songs on the B-side of one of the company's "Formații rock" compilations in 1984.
[6][7] By the early 2000s, the group had returned to their progressive rock sound, but in a more modern alternative rock-inspired direction, still maintaining Călin's distinct high-pitch vocal style.
In this regard, two new tracks, more specifically the eponymous "Clepsidra fără nisip" (i.e. 'The hourglass without sand') and "Aproape cerul" (short version) have already been released on Youtube on 26 November 2021.
