Stiff Kicks

Stiff Kicks is a Hard Rock band from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, created in December 2017. The passion for
music and the desire of bringing a fresh sound to the played-out industry in Romania is what determined
the former 4 members to build what today we can call #StiffKicks. Their style is a combination of blues
elements, 80s rock, and a pinch of heavy metal. Later they added a new member (Emil Dorian) as a
second guitar, Colin only fulfilling vocal duties since then. All songs are written and performed by the 5
members:
Călin “Colin” Iordache – Vocals
Vlad Joldiș - Lead guitar
Emil Dorian - Rhythm guitar
Richard Tira - Bass guitar
Gabriel "Cici" Ciordaș - Drums

During their first year, the band played in the pubs of Cluj-Napoca, but also outside of town, alongside
acts like Bucovina. In December 2018, Stiff Kicks launch their first hit single and official video "Cinematic
Reel". In May 2019, the band launched their 2nd hit single and official video for their song "Boogie". This was part of the band's first EP called "Pothole on road ahead", which was released in September
2019. The band then followed with shows around the nation.
