The band has gained popularity in many countries of Central and Western Europe; they have toured in Germany, France, Switzerland and England.




History


Initially, Urma was formed by two musicians, Mani Gutău and Dan "Byron" Radu. They had met in Cluj and decided to create a new project. Soon afterwards two other musicians, Dominic Csergö and Sorin Erhan, joined the band, and they started work in the studio.
The first album, Nomad Rhymes, was released on December 10, 2004. Two years later, in 2005, followed the second album, Anger As a Gift. The title, in Mani's words, reflects the content of Urma's music: "In the world, seems defective, wonderful things are still going on. And anger, caused by lack of normal existence can be the major ingredient of a good thing. It doesn't criticize, but changes. For example. As an alternative."
In 2006, Dan Byron left the band to start his own project, called byron. In spite of it Urma has released the third album, Trend Off, that's available on iTunes now. After release, the band took a break in its activity and appeared on scene again in 2009, with the new composition.
