Details:
Formed in the spring of 2004, Core Effect is a Detroit based regional band whose music has been described as heavy, modern, "hook" driven rock with an experimental edge. The band has been compared to the likes of Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and 3 Days Grace yet has carved out their own very distinctive sound. Guitarist Joe Keough excels at creating hallmark abstractions with his typically effect-rich sound. Adding to the melody is vocalist/bassist Randy Riddle whose deep raw pitch shares vocal duties with the melodic voice of rhythm guitarist/vocalist John Keffalo; their voices combine to form a unique blend of melodic perfection. The rhythm section of the band brings strength through consistent, groove heavy hooks often written in odd time signatures. Making a large contribution to the rhythmic character of the band is drummer Andrew Churchman whose metronomic percussion is in fact the pulse of the songs. These characteristics and the energy of the band members live performances make Core Effect's concerts explosive and emotional.
