To reach the 20th anniversary of being in a band together is quite a challenge (which for CORE’s members was the case in 2008), but still moving forward musically is another thing! Chris, Harry and Sascha started making music together as school kids, experimented with different band-outfits and had their first–minor–commercial release in 1993 as a five-piece. Then the guys landed the first major signing in 1996 (BMG). This meant the first career-high. The four-piece called Paradise Now! opened for U2 and The Rolling Stones, entered the album sales charts in Austria and toured Europe.

5 years and 2 records later Paradise Now! came to a hold. Following artistic differences Chris, Harry and Sascha split from singer Markus. Chris took over the vocals. In 2001 CORE emerged as the core trio of all bands mentioned above and of the foregoing 13 years. In 2002 CORE was signed (by French XIII Bis Records) and the debut “AWAY” was released. The album was a well-defined nu rock record gained great reviews on an international basis, the track “THE ANGLE” became a hit for the gamers’ community as it was featured on the videogame “Smackdown vs. Raw”.

To the surprise of fans and critics it was followed by an acoustic album: Reviewers called “HALFPLUGGED” “one of the most astounding records” emerging from Austria.

In 2006 “PERFECT SUMMER” was released–a powerful mix of stoner rock elements and some heavy stuff. It also was the first release on CORE’s own record label, Corecosmos Recordings. Again the music gained some international reception, as a couple of songs were featured in MTV’s series “Viva La Bam” and “Meet The Barkers”.

2008 came, the 20th anniversary for the collaboration of Chris, Harry and Sascha. Again, the band came up with an artistic concept for the next album proving that the only constant for the three members stayed movement. CORE incorporates surprising pop elements in its cosmos. “SENTIMENTAL DICO”, CORE’s fourth longplayer, is released in 2009. Also the live show concept leads into a new direction and brings revue elements onstage, leaving the classic rock show setup behind.

We are eager to see what will happen next to CORE. Only one thing’s for sure: as long as the band moves forward, its music will stay alive.
