FindingCore is making their return to the movie screens! In fact, the band will most likely be making a “performance” cameo in the film. This spring, work will begin on a “kick-ass martial arts production, with a twist!”  by Skylight Films, and we’ll be in it! Skylight Films producers heard selections from our new release “Fifty Two Ten” and immediately wanted the band to be a part of this.

We’re extremely excited to be included in yet another movie. This past fall, FindingCore songs “Pass You By” and “Loaded Gun” were featured in the action movie “A Case of Deceit“, in which the band attended the premiere in Toronto with cast members and crew.

We’ll bring you more details as we get closer to start of production. In the meantime, we thank you for your continued support and belief in us.

Keep it loud!

The creativity in the band is at a peak right now, and the amount of new ideas that pop up from nowhere at each rehearsal is astounding to us. It also doesn’t hurt that we are starting to rehearse much for frequently then ever before, which allows that creative conduit to continue its flow.

We’ve been starting to record ideas off the floor at each rehearsal (poor quality mind you) but none the less, capturing ideas as they happen. Any musician will tell you, it’s very easy to forget ideas. We don’t want to take the chance of losing something that might be a keeper. Speaking of keepers, we are in the midst of about 6 new tracks. A couple of which, 1 for sure, we will be introducing at our next group of shows. The band cannot wait to play this for you. The only hint we can give you right now is that it has a “slinky, sassy, groove” feel to it. Just a fun-fun song to play, and hopefully for you to listen to.

We have some other really big news we are itching to tell you about, and as soon as we get clearance from the powers that be, you can guarantee we’ll be spilling the beans here!

We’re back at it tonight to continue work on the new songs, and possibly meet up with photographer Rick Rieger from Rieger Photography to discuss our upcoming photoshoot. We’ll be using images from this photoshoot in the  vehicle wrap design of our Dodge Nitro. A new FindingCore pimped ride coming soon!

Thanks for your continued support everyone! We couldn’t do this without you!

There’s some great shows on the distant horizon and we’ll have some other great news to share with you soon too!

Plus, we’ve got some new material (yes we just released our new album) but we can’t sit still. We have new material written and we’ll be trying it on you live, for the first time in the weeks to come!

Cheers!

So, I’m looking for a Blu-ray player (a Christmas gift for myself and my sweetie). Thought I’d call on some of you audio/video enthusiasts for your opinion.

I don’t want to spend a fortune, but don’t want a $60 player either.

I do require at least the following features:

• DLNA Certified
• Ethernet port and Wi-Fi (will use Wi-fi for now)
• USB Media Port
• DVD Upconversion
• As many Video codecs as possible
• Short boot time
• Prefer Coax Audio out but not mandatory

Can anyone lend an opinion of a player I might look for? Reply here or tweet me @eric_broadbent

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Finding Core definitely worth recognizing

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Putting a band together is no easy feat, believe me! Assembling a group of like minded musicians, all with a common goal and equal ambition is difficult enough alone…but, sustaining a local (or even international) group for in excess of 10 years is a milestone definitely worth recognizing.

Chatham’s Finding Core recently celebrated their 11th year as a band with the release of their sophomore effort “Fifty-Two-Ten” (an album which I’ll later discuss in greater detail). Originally formed in late 2000, Finding Core initially featured Todd Lenover on vocals, Gary Gehl on drums, Jeff Pickle on bass (shortly thereafter to be replaced by current bassist J.Z Taine) and sole remaining original member Eric Broadbent on guitar. Over the next decade, the band experienced a number of lineup changes with an almost “Spinal Tap’esque” revolving door of drummers. However, any previous lineup turmoil has long since subsided with the addition of Kenny Deuxberry on vocals and Paul Demars (via current Chatham act Dead End Charlie) on drums.

For those unfamiliar with Finding Core, the band is one of the (if not the) …Click Here for the full story

We had a private listening party last night and spirits were quite high as we listened through each track. We think you’ll love this new record, which is quite heavier than our previous recording.

We’ve got songs on this record that will make you want to get out on a race track and drive real fast, we’ve got some “sassy” (not sissy… but “sassy”) tracks, a couple melodic numbers that you’ll hopefully be singing at home, in your car and in the shower over and over again!

You’ll even find a 90 second, unaccompanied guitar solo which is a precursor to one of the “sassy” tracks that we talked about above.

In all, 5210 represents who we are as a band and where we are going from here. You can expect to see us in many venues and festivals in 2012 supporting this record. And we’ll bringing some great friends groups along at each stop too.

The band’s morale, spirit and brotherhood is at its highest level since forming in 2000. However, we always aim for bigger and better and will continue to work our hardest to bring you one of the best live shows you have ever seen.

We are very fortunate to have the fans like we do, that have stood behind us patiently waiting to see new material released. Through our ups and downs, you have been there and we recognize you as the best fans a band could ever ask for. A FindingCore fan is the coolest, barre none! Thanks again!

A huge thank you to our families and loved ones that have also endured alot of time away from us, who have had to sacrifice in many areas too, while we do what we do, rehearse, write, record and tour. There is no way we could do all this without support, first and foremost at home. We are very thankful.

So, a couple things left to do. A couple tweaks are needed to our final mix (we are perfectionists you know…!) then we’ll have this baby out for sale. You should expect to see the album available for sale on iTunes in early October and we will have standard CD’s available at our shows too.

We’re also very proud to announce that one of “melodic numbers” that we talked about earlier will be featured on very large compilation project, that will be available on iTunes in November with proceeds going to one of the largest and most recognized charities. We’ll update you on that soon too.

A couple more shows to round out 2011, and then we are going like gangbusters in 2012. The gates will be cracking open when the ball drops New Year’s eve, so watch for FindingCore here, there and everywhere next year! In the meantime we’ll get 5210 – The New FindingCore in your ears!

Cheers everyone!

On the eve of 2 incredible shows (Windsor and London) the band is excited and full of adrenaline, totally ready to rock like you never seen. Eric’s guitar batting order is set: Black Ruu gets main axe slot, Creme De La Ruu batting 2nd, Purple Ruu comes in for the Dropped Tuning slot and Cartoony Ruu is waiting in the wings for a broken string pinch hit. Batter Up. This one’s headin for the parking lot!

Our new record is done and we are just awaiting final mixes and we can get it in your ears, quick like! Stay tuned for more details.

In the meantime, get yourself out to one of our shows, there’s lots to choose from!

Keep it loud!

Paul, drum roll please…..! We are proud to announce that we are now officially represented by Rock-U Entertainment agency. Expect to see us in all the key clubs and major festivals in 2011, ’12 and beyond! Just wanted to share the good news with the coolest people we know!

We’re looking forward to what the 3rd quarter of 2011 brings us, and a wealth of great shows in 2012 work with Rock-U Entertainment.

See you at the shows!
