Post Common - ED.12 - Post Common Post Common

Today, new Brighton trio Post Common announce their signing to Brace Yourself Records alongside word of their self-titled debut EP arriving November 20th. The band, comprised of current and former members of UK DIY stalwarts JOHN, TRAAMS, Sisterland and more, also offer a first peak behind the curtain of their intense sonic world with the EP’s lead single ‘Space/Time’.

‘Space/Time’ lays out an effective roadmap for the unwieldy beast that is Post Common, comprised of Stuart Hopkins (guitar/vocals), Ian Humes (bass) and John Newton (drums/vocals) - a project that shares DNA with the trio’s musical heritage but that expands outwards taking in elements of electronic and industrial music alongside their love of post-hardcore.

At the centre of their sonic alchemy is the thrilling juxtaposition of Hopkins’ and Newton’s shared vocals - like a MacKaye and Picciotto of the verdant English south coast, the two play off each other to stunning effect. The former’s often yearning, searching melodies are perfectly counterpointed by Newton’s famed guttural bark as they trade lines that walk a fine margin between romance and dystopia, poetry and mundanity. It’s exquisite corpse songcraft at its finest.
