SUMMARY:Texas Is the Reason
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s acknowledged or not\, starting a “Post Hardcore”
  band in this era is not a decision to be taken lightly. The genre\, rif
 e with copycats\, naysayers\, and gatekeepers\, can be one of themost cr
 itical of its kind. This is why\, upon first listen to Common Sage\, one
  should keep an open mind. The Brooklyn\, NY based quartet brings to the
  table not only a serious deference fortheir groundwork laying predecess
 ors\, but they offer something new tothe scene altogether—which is much 
 easier said than done. Common Sage’s sound feels like a modern take on t
 he melodic side of post hardcore with a strong influence from the legend
 ary Long Island emo scene. When these dualistic stylings are partnered w
 ith a dissonant\, cacophonous riff-storm\, they sound something like Qui
 cksand and Title Fight dancing a delicate ballet.This is no doubt avery 
 calculatedand deliberatemusical high wire act\,and it’s not something th
 at can be accomplished by a band that have not done their due diligence.
  Herein lies the secret to Common Sage\; it’s less of what they choose t
 o put on the canvas as artists\, but more of what they choose to hold ba
 ck that shows the true nature of the band. Whilesomething such as a simp
 le three chord breakdown could have served them greatly in the short ter
 m—the band opts for much more artful choices\, making veteran level stru
 ctural decisions thatyou would expect from innovativesongsmiths like Mod
 est Mouse or mewithoutYou. It’s easy tosee why industry pillars likeGeof
 f Rickly and StevePedullaof the band Thursday or Jason GleasonofFurther 
 Seems Forever were quick to lend their talentsand to the bands new music
 . This is why it is so fitting that Sage\,amedicinal herb\, when burnedi
 s usedto cleansethe airofall itsimpurities. One can onlyhope that Common
  Sagecan accomplish something similar withintheirgenre\, clearing out th
 e staid tropes of the past and making way for something new toappear out
  of thin air.\n\nMore info: https://www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/tex
