A great comeback story always resonates, especially when it involves a band that’s caught the attention of prominent music outlets like Revolver Magazine, who dubbed them a “Band You Need to Know.” Meet Gore, a breakthrough four-piece metalcore outfit from Houston, Texas, and their dynamic frontwoman, Haley Roughton.
In this episode, Haley opens up about the journey that led to the formation of Gore and the unique chemistry she found with bandmates Alex Reyes and Devin Birchfield —a connection she describes as unparalleled. This synergy laid the foundation for their debut EP, A Bud That Never Blooms, a ferocious and emotionally raw offering that has left listeners craving more. The five-track release is a testament to their dedication, crafted with the support of a production team that ensured every note and lyric carried heartfelt intensity. But it also starts with Haley’s unique musical influences, which more than paved the way in the writing process for this record.
While many bands take years and multiple albums to define their sound, Gore has achieved this feat in just five songs. Haley reflects on this ascent and hints at what’s next for the group as they prepare to tackle 2025 with new music, appearances at major festivals, and even greater ambitions.
This conversation with Haley is as much about personal resilience as it is about Gore’s rise—a story you’ll want to hear taking place both on and off the stage. A Bud That Never Blooms is available now worldwide via Spinefarm Records.
