Vunk


Vunk is a Romanian pop rock band formed after guitar player Alex Belciu left Vank. The remaining Vank members, lead vocalist Cornel Ilie and drummer Nicu Sârghea, recruited bass player Bogdan Crucianu and guitarist Gabi Maga.

Vank had their first concert in Bucharest, at the Ion Creangă theatre. In 1996, they built their first studio in the basement of the apartment building their parents lived in. In 1999, the four released the single "Independent", which shortly thereafter became Atomic TV’s anthem. In November, they released their first album, "Voyeur", which contained 10 tracks. Not long after that, Vank entered mainstream Romanian radio and TV stations with the song "Noi O Scoatem La Capăt". The track became a smash hit. The band’s second album, "6 Piese De 5 Stele", came out in 2001. The first song promoted from the album was "Regele soselelor".

A year later, Vunk launched another album, "In Haine Noi". It included both the song "All Too Young", which earned Vank second place in the 2002 Eurovision competition, and "N-am Noroc" a remake of an Anda Calugareanu song. In 2004, Vank made a comeback with "Best of Vank", which featured all the band's past hits such as "1000", "Balada Pentru O Minune", "Langa Inima Mea Vine Inima Ta", "Iubire Cu Imprumut", and others. However, the most famous Vank song remains "Prajitura Cu Jeleu"; its lyrics became an anthem for high school boys.
