BIONICORE

If you need a boost of caffeine then you should definitely check out Bionicore! Agressive and heavy but still melodic and catchy, delivering a wall of sound. This band likes to call their style pop - core which offers a little bit of everything, expressing their love for their roots of trash, hardcore, rock, grunge and pop.Mario Stepanovsky`s (guitar )musical ideas just fall into each other with Heni Stepanovsky`s (vocal) ideas and their music shows undeniable chemistry and great compromise between their musical influences, creating good contrast. Heni`s lyrics are expressing views on different aspects of life, empowering, sometimes sad but generally uplifting, talking right into your face.
Bionicore wants to connect and be accessible to a larger audience, setting no limits, taking it song by song and have fun along the way. Not promising anything, just going with the gut from album to album with no set limits on genre mixing and influences.
The core members of the band have traveled and been together for a long time with a dream to pursue a professional music career. With limited options in their home country Slovakia, EU, they decided to risk it and leave the country to start all over from scratch in USA. As an established hard rock band called "For Sale" they were invited to play Texasrockfest (SXSW 07`) in Austin, TX. After settling down on South Padre Island, TX, the band decided to take some time off to build up a new band, later called Bionicore, and perfect their performance and writting skills and work on their own style. Their drummer Miroslav Bartos was in Slovakia at that time and all the tunes had to be emailed many times back and forth. Thanks to this possibility the band could start recording at their home studio along with sound engineer Frank Morris, trying to deliver the best possible product out of the conditions and limited funds. The album, later given a title "Wake up zombieland", was finished in 2011 and the band made a decision to relocate to CA, close to LA. The drummer arrives to CA in march 2012 and the band starts to rehearse for their debut show, opening for Sid Wilson (DJ Slipknot) at the Whiskey a go go in West Hollywood. They also appeared on Paganfest in Key Club, Warped tour battle in Dipiazzas, Long beach  and more.They are currently promoting their debut single "Never Know" and offering a free download at all online stores and also plays on some of the internet radios. Based in Santa Barbara, they are currently focusing on building a strong local following.
