about

After "The Hill" comes "The Core"

Upon creation of the band, standing on the Bole hills (Crookes, Sheffield), it was clear that first album would be titled "The Hill" as we gazed upon water still and rolling hills - an idea kickstarted a concept and from that, was born with a 6/8 soundtrack, swelling abundantly to the forefront.

That was 2018, this, is 2023 and we are now delighted to bring you chapter two in the ill Tribe journey and present you our second instalment; "The Core"; an even more personal and compelling album, melodic and impactful, philosophical and blending genres a plenty with heavy doses of sax, and violin.

This album is not just a collection of songs, and nor is it a "concept" album. It's much more of a musical picture, a story that holds up a mirror to society and the true self.

The personality and moods of the creators are laid bare, every beat, melody, and lyric intertwine to convey meaning and beauty, woven with love and care, and topped with a sprinkle of humour.

Michael Curran (Copius) and Bert Rogers have collaborated with some of the most incredibly talented artists from Ukraine, Russia, Ireland, Senegal, Jamaica and also here in the UK on this album, fusing both acoustic and electronic instruments, dipping into every aspect of reflective creativity, weaving a tapestry of sound, designed to relieve those daily woes and nurture one's soul.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we did creating it. ✌️

The Core, written by Bert Rogers and Michael Curran aka Copius.
