Formed in the spring of 2004, Core Effect is a Detroit based regional band whose music has been described as heavy, hard, modern, "hook" driven rock with an experimental edge. The band has been compared to the likes of Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and Three Days Grace yet has carved out their own very distinct sound.

Core Effect has played shows through out the midwest and east coast. The band has performed concerts at some of Michigan’s finest venues including, The Fillmore Detroit, Clutch Cargos, Saint Andrews, and The Machine Shop and has also sold out local venues, including the Detroit staple, The Magic Bag. They have shared the stage with many national recording artists including Saliva, Seether, Saving Abel, Thousand Foot Krutch, Filter, and Tantric.

2009 promises to be a breakout year for Core Effect. In accordance to the elevating success of their recent release “Armored Shades of Light,” the band will be kicking off their national mainstream and college radio campaign with world renowned music promoter Howard Rosen. “I Did it All” the band’s first single will drop in January. Keep your ears tuned in and your rock fists up, Core Effect’s “Armored Shades of Light” is ready to explode!
