Hi deckel, we are THE SORE, a hardcore/punk band from southern Austria. We consist of:
Peter Sore - vocals, guitars
Hollywood Hofa - drums
Seb - guitars
??? - bass (not revealed yet, but kicks serious ass!!!!)
How long have you been around?
THE SORE has been around since the end of 2000, after our old bands no longer satisfied us. We had been in punk, doom, and hardcore bands. Hofa and I drove around in the car listening to crust punk bands, stuff like Discharge, and we thought, let’s do something like that. Yeah, and from then on, everything went pretty quickly. By now, over 6 years have passed, and many other influences have crept into our music. From Black Flag-style hardcore to Black Sabbath-style doom, we’ve mixed quite a bit. Hahaha.
How did the band name come about?
I was singing a song from our old band when I had a sore throat, and the sound engineer said, "Peter is sore today." And somehow that fit... since the new music was damn aggressive and I changed my singing style, the name THE SORE just made sense. I think it fits perfectly with the music we make.
Who writes the lyrics for you?
I do. I’ve always done it. I enjoy playing with words and just like to express myself.
What is your average age?
Hofa is 27, I just turned 26, and Seb is 21. Our new bassist is 22.
Any new records planned or recently released?
In 2006, we released our debut album RADIO DEATHCAMPAIGN. It came out through our own label I HATE MUSIC and is available through RISE OR RUST, INTERPUNK, and MUERTE NEGRA DISCOS. Just Google it or check out MySpace. Of course, you can also order the CD through our MySpace.

Since postage fees are often quite high, we always include extra stuff in the package.:)
Do you have a record deal, and if so, where?
No, unfortunately not. For now, we do everything ourselves and look for labels that will take our stuff into their distro. But a record deal would be great.
Which bands influence your music?
Hardcore/punk and doom bands.
For example: BLACK FLAG, POISON IDEA, BORN AGAINST, NEGATIVE APPROACH, NEUROSIS, EYEHATEGOD, BLACK SABBATH, MOTORHEAD,...
Have you played any concerts here in northern Germany?
No, unfortunately not yet, but one day we will come to you and throw a party like the world has never seen!
Any further plans for The Sore?
Currently, we are working on new material and plan to record and release a new album in 2007. Additionally, we need to train the new bassist so we can finally play live and tour again. Possibly, we will tour in England again this year. Let’s see what happens after the summer.:)
