About Me

BIOGRAPHY
They say music is timeless, and Lovecore is proof to that truth.
1998 was the year and Lovecore was the name. A dozen songs gave life to a band of four individuals looking for an outlet. Soon, this life had to breathe out of the studio and onto the stage. The band suddenly became the biggest band on campus, leading them to numerous gigs within campus and outside as well, along with big name acts during that time like True Faith, Kulay, POT, etc. The group however, died a natural death due to certain priorities being students. Despite the short life span of the group, the songs lived on. Seven years later, those same songs are brought out today under the same name, but with a brand new line up of equally talented artists breathing new life into songs that have rested for quite a while.
The new line up is a fresh start as it moves away from the hang-ups of the past. Mindful of what lies ahead, the band strays from their old topics such as heartaches and relationships, and talks about life, its beauty, the people around it, and God. They have certainly found a new direction and purpose, making their message bigger than the band itself.
As one of the very few bands today playing funk-rock, the group is not after reinventing the scene but to be a player in it. They are here to bring something new to the table with their brand of music, which is sure to be something fresh and different from what's available today.
Working with Independent label Vanilla Crush, the band has started working on their album containing the old songs and adding new ones to the list... a move that will surely make its mark not only in the independent music scene but all over.
With their album well on its way and a bigger future ahead of them, Lovecore has relived the old and will continue to give birth to more music that is sure to be played all over in the years to come.
THE NAME
(from Cy) Lovecore was a term used by our organization in UP before. This pertained to anything "relationship" related. During that time, it was the common denominator of the band as we came out of certain relationships at that time and the band served as that outlet for "pain" so to speak. The use of the name today is that bridge that connects the band with the songs of the past as we move into the future with new material and as a way of honoring the reason for bringin the group back ... to be all about the music and to share it with the world.
