Send "Implant Pentru Refuz" Ringtones to your Cell 
In the fall of <#8216;95 six hardcore fans united into what is now Implant Pentru Refuz(IPR) - one of the first Romanian hardcore bands. Some of the members had some musical experience, the rest just had the desire to create something <#8220;strong<#8221;.The six that started it all are:
Octavian Horvath(Vita) - vocal
Ovidiu Takacs(Bulbuc) - vocal
Tudor Vinereanu(Parintele) - guitar
Cristian Miclea(Masi) - guitar
Gabi Papay(Pupilu) - bass
Adi Iacob(Tzava) - drums
Their first album was <#8220;Implant pentru refuz<#8221;, an album which they recorded during a week in Arad at Pacific Sound. Only then they became aware of their sound: <#8220;At rehearsals we had no idea what we sounded like ; this always happens when you don<#8217;t have any instruments<#8221;.
The album was released in May 1996 under East < Art label(Bucuresti). From March to May 1997 they recorded the second album called <#8220;Permis port siucidere<#8221;(Voxstar StudioB, Timisoara). Their lineup hadn<#8217;t suffered any changes until then. They recorded over night because popular Romanian music was recorded in the same studio by daylight.
In June 1997 they released <#8220;Permis port sinucidere<#8221; (Post-suicide permit) under the label Voxstar Rocka-Rolla. Afterwards, <#8216;Masi<#8217; leaves the band to continue his studies in Canada. A dark period for the band followed, although they were still writing songs. Soon after <#8216;Masi<#8217;s<#8217; departure, <#8216;Parintele<#8217; Tudor leaves (for studies in Ireland).
Fortunately, Szasz Istvan(Orca) manages to take their places and succeeds in bringing along new textures to the band<#8217;s sound.
Between November and December 1998, they start recording their third album in ShowFactory studio, Timisoara.
In March 1999 IPR releases their third album <#8220;Culori<#8221;(ShowFactory Rocka-Rolla).
In summer 2000 Implant pentru refuz found themselves in the familiar situation of not having a guitarist, as <#8216;Orca<#8217; decides to work in Hungary.
After a series of long searches, failures and many drunkards they found Valentin Popescu(Freaky), who is still in the band at the present time.
2001<#8230;history doesn<#8217;t repeat itself. They get a contract with a prestigious label, MediaPro Music.
From there on IPR have had a series of concertis as happenings to bigger US bands like: Megadeth (15 - 06 - 2005), 25 ta life(16 - 02 -2006), Sick of It All(22 - 04 - 2006) and Deftones(25 - 06 - 2006).
IPR have become a regular to romanian alternative music events such as: Fanfest(Rosia Montana), Rock la Mures(Periam), Stufstock(Vama Veche).
On 9 of June 2007 Implant Pentru Refuz released to public Monolith, their 5th studio album.
