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. With a more outward focus, Rosen aims to tell stories that blend both personal reflection and empathetic insight, bringing a raw sense of vulnerability to the track. 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.

The release of Closer To; showcases the band’s distinctive blend of melodic post-hardcore with nods to the early 2000s emo scene, drawing on influences from legends of the Long Island emo movement. Common Sage’s sound is both haunting and energetic, combining clean guitar melodies with moments of intense, chaotic riffs. 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.

Fans have a lot to look forward to, as Common Sage will be supporting Reggie & The Full Effect on a series of West Coast tour dates this December. With each performance, the band brings a depth and intensity to the stage, capturing the spirit of the genre while pushing its boundaries. Their commitment to authentic, artful music has made them a standout in today’s crowded post-hardcore scene.

Common Sage is a standout in the post-hardcore scene, blending intense emotion with skilled musicianship to create a sound that is both powerful and deeply relatable. Their ability to balance raw energy with melodic depth sets them apart, making each release an exciting and memorable experience for fans of the genre.
