Korine is a Philadelphia based duo consisting of members Morgy Ramone and

Trey Frye. The pair blends new wave nostalgia, early emo, and punk with a

modern pop sensibility, contrasting upbeat rhythms against sullen, emotionally

evocative lyrics. Forming in late 2017, the duo’s debut EP ‘Corsage,’ a moody, lo-fi

set of self recorded synth driven tracks, gained the band quick traction and a series

of tour dates through 2018. The tour garnered the attention of Philadelphia based

label Born Losers Records, who went on to release the band’s debut album, ‘New

Arrangements.’ Following a successful album release and consistent touring, Frye

and Ramone then released an acclaimed two track 7” titled, ‘Uncrossed/To You,’ in

the fall of 2019. 2020 saw the release of the band’s most matured set of songs to

date, the sophomore album, ‘The Night We Raise,’ which heavily expanded the

signature sound of the group while continuing to showcase the pair’s DIY mentality.

Despite releasing during quarantine, “The Night We Raise” has sold thousands of

vinyl copies and received praise from Bandcamp, Post-punk.com, and Pop

Matters. Following a year of isolation, Korine returned to touring in 2021 with a full

US Tour supporting chillwave pioneers Small Black and continued into 2022 with

several festival appearances including their international debut at wave gotik

treffen in Leipzig.
