Európa Kiadó
From Unearthing The Music
Európa Kiadó is a Hungarian underground rock band formed in 1981 in Budapest by former members of URH after the group disbanded: László Kiss, András Salamon and lyricist-composer-guitarist-singer Jenő Menyhárt, joined by József Dénes and András Gerő. Soon keyboardist Gerő and drummer Salamon departed and were replaced by János Másik and Péter Magyar.
