Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, SORE that was formed in December of 2000. Combining elements of metal, hip hop and rap, their sound can best be described as Ruckus. With classic heavy metal guitar riffs, driving bass and drum beats laid over melodic vocals with a little rap thrown in for good measure, SORE melds the genres perfectly. Their music is about intensity. They have toured nationally and opened for many recognizable bands including HEDpe, Mushroomhead, 40 Below Summer, Cypress Hill, Powerman 5000, Andrew W.K., Soil, Dope, Candiria, Saliva, among others. Their first release in 2002, "Source of Raw Energy" was used to help them tour and many of the songs have been released and featured in movie soundtracks and video games as well as featured in 4 different ESPN soundtracks including the Summer X Games (2004) and Winter X Games (2004). The video for the song, "Position" has been featured on many syndicated music shows in the Midwest including, "Heavy Pork". The band is now in the studio with Command Records recording their follow up tentatively titled, "Ruckus Music". Watch for them on tour!
