Core was an American stoner rock band from New Jersey, active in the late 1990s.
Core debuted with their first album, Revival, in 1996 on Atlantic Records. [2] The album was produced by Billy Anderson and supported by tours with Fu Manchu, Clutch and Orange 9mm.

In addition to the two albums, Core was also featured on the MeteorCity Records compilation Welcome to Meteor City, an album that showcased numerous Kyuss-like bands and helped establish MeteorCity.
