INTERCORE – Dreams For Sale (2021)

Released by Pride & Joy Records, “Dreams For Sale” is Sweden’s INTERCORE debut album, four years in the making. The time was well spent: it is an enjoyable, polished set of melodic hard rock songs.
Guitarist, songwriter and producer Raimo Rommedahl (ex Cousin Bill) and singer/guitarist Jesper Max (ex Friase) were touring musicians who met in early 2014. They shared a deep desire for making their own music and a dream of building their own professional studio. The result was the opening of premium Rockstone Studio in 2016.
In order to complete the lineup, they brought in drummer Thomas “Shuffle” Persson (ex Highlander) and bass player Robert Fallqvist, and InterCore born.
InterCore’s music is classic Scandinavian melodic hard rock: think current EUROPE with its bluesy traditional riffs & sound. There’s something of SCORPIONS, TREAT, THIN LIZZY too, all very well arranged & produced by Rommedahl & Max.

There’s strong, dynamic rockers here like the highlight ‘Kilimanjaro’, ‘Leave It All Behind’, ‘Little Sister’, title track ‘Dreams for Sale’ and you can only expect a feel-good tune from a song titled ‘Summerdream’.
There are two ballads on the album, ‘Mother Mary’ and ‘I Still Hear You’, where the bluesy feeling both in arrangements and Max’s voice appear.

InterCore’s mission is to spread the great classic rock music of the ’70s / 80s and ’90s into this century, with a traditional style & sound of this timeless genre.
Highly Recommended
