Timpuri Noi is an alternative rock band that was formed in 1980, and remained an underground act up until 1991.
In the early nineties, up to around 1995, the band was arguably the top Romanian act.
1994 also signified an important event in both Timpuri Noi's career and Romanian music in general: Timpuri Noi gives the very first unplugged performance in this country, recorded as an album in the same year
In 1997, the band was presented with one of the MCM French music television and Radio France Internationale "Decouvertes de Rock a l'Est" (Eastern European New Acts) Awards, performing in a special gala concert. (The previous year, Timpuri Noi had been interviewed for MTV Europe during the Golden Stag Festival in the Romanian city of Braşov.)
As of 2020, the group is still active, playing live sporadically throughout the country. They released a new full-length called "Moldova Mon Amour"
