Core

CORE is a four time Billboard charting Austin-based rock band with roots in Las Vegas and McAllen Texas. The band is led by internationally renowned guitarist Chris Iorio, a founding member of Adelitas Way and superstar singer Mark Morales, known for his work with Sons Of Texas and Mark Morton. Bass player Jarrett Smith and drummer Brandon Lemond form the groups heart-pounding rhythm section. Chris Iorio and Jarrett Smith would form the band out of a previous project together. Two US tours and 4 Billboard charting rock singles later and the band would turn to Mark's powerful voice, reaching the band to new heights just in time for the opportunity to record with legendary multi platinum producer Kane Churko. Currently working on the next era of CORE, the guys are excited to continue releasing the new music.

CORE’s music combines elements of active rock, post grunge, alt rock and classic rock influences. From hard hitting tracks to breathtaking solos and new-rock anthems, this quartet crafts catchy choruses and delivers relatable, honest lyrics accompanied by powerful guitar riffs. CORE’s refreshing and much needed style sets them apart commercially.

Their distinctive sound and image led them to secure their first national record deal with Los Angeles-based Silverstone Records USA, alongside manager Mike Quinn. CORE’s Live performances beckon back to the days of pure rock and roll, dynamic and captivating, showcasing their talent and stage presence. CORE is in the middle of releasing new music from their upcoming album and touring in 2025.
