Kore Rozzik morphed into my stage name from my nickname
Hardkore was my nick name when I was younger because I listened to metal and did wrestling. Rozzik is a offshoot of my birth name.
What is your name and what do you do for the band?
Kore Rozzik Vocals
2.Tell us where you are based and describe the scene. How do you think where you are located influences your sound.
NYC THE BIG APPLE. The City pushes you to be hard and have a thick skin. To always push and have a never say die by any means attitude
3.Who influences your sound that would surprise people?
I would say the Ramones and Michael Jackson
4.Are you endorsed by musical companies , if so who , and if not who would you like to be endorsed by?
We are endorsed by Dean Markley Strings and Audio Technica Microphones.
5.When you started what was your ultimate goal? And how close to the goal are you now? I always wanted to be a touring musician and make records. I guess I'm on my way to that now.
6.In today's digital environment it takes creative strategy to keep things moving. What creative ideas do you have to keep your band relevant over time?
Create fun and interesting music videos and continue to keep in touch with fans via fb and instagram.
7.We've all seen a terrible live band that is awesome on CD. Is that cool with you or do you lose respect for bands that cannot pull it off live?
As a musician I can give some slack with certain aspects of a live show. Somethings can be hard to reproduce live or consistently. Singers voices can strained or background vocals may not be as "huge". I think it can be a big let down though when a band sucks live. Usually its due to no stage presence or energy.
8.Tell us your “core” are you Metal , Rock , Punk , Pop etc because people just have to categorize these days you know?
Everybody is hardcore metalcore emo core. I guess I'm just Kore..
9.This is a tough question but a very real reality, Is your band actually talented or just popular?
Many bands make it with a cliche or publicity stunts etc. Would you accept fame even if it was just because of being the “ in” thing or is it actually important to you that you gain favor with talent?
I think sometimes you have to do something drastic to get attention. We will eventually do some of these things but at the end of the day if there's no talent then you'll be a flash in the pan.
10.Tell us what to expect from you live. Nothing is more boring than watching bands stare at the floor and bob their heads to music nobody but the band knows. What can your band offer in a live setting that people will remember?
Our show is a lot of fun. We have smoke lights and props. I change outfits and have a very mixed stage banter. Sometimes is theatrical . Sometimes its comedic and other times its real life social stuff. We aspire to put on big shows like all the classic bands used to do.
11. What releases have you put out , When will we see something new?
Right Now Just Vengeance Overdrive- our debut full length concept record
available on amazon and the likes
12. If you have videos where can we see them?
www.youtube.com/korerozzik
13.Everybody has Bandcamp , ReverbNation , Soundcloud , etc
Why do you think this is so important? Doesn't it seem like everyone is giving everything out for free?
Well you have to go with the program I guess. Without internet and live shows how else will people hear you? Radio isn't the only game in town.
Probably getting compliments and advice from some of my heroes. Like Don Dokken, Virus (Dope) and Bobaflex. Getting to sing on stage with Steel Panther was a highlight. I think honestly being able to play anywhere new and steal the show is key. We did that on our last national tour. Heading lining the Gramercy Theatre in NYC for Korefest 6 (our own production). Personally at the time there was a lot of slander and gossip surround me. I felt like I was able to silence all of that with my performance and showcasing the new band.
15.Your message to the fans?
