Brooklyn-based post-hardcore band Common Sage is back with a striking new single, “Until I’m Gone.” The song dives into themes of loss and change, taking on a unique perspective inspired by struggles that vocalist Julian Rosen observed in others’ lives.

The single is a preview of their upcoming album, Closer To;, set to release on November 22 through Equal Vision Records, marking an exciting new chapter for the band.

Working with producer Brett Romnes, known for his work with Anxious, Oso Oso, and Hot Mulligan, the band has honed a sound that resonates with fans of classic emo and post-hardcore but with a fresh twist.
To bring the album to life visually, the band recently released a video for “Vehicles,” directed by Rich Weinberger, which is now available for streaming. The video has a nostalgic yet intense vibe, highlighting Common Sage’s talent for storytelling through both their sound and visuals.
