Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Common Wounds marries post-hardcore heart and noise-rock heft, in songs that are as poignant as they are bruising.

A new article at Invisible Oranges states: “Common Wounds are a new post-hardcore band out of Phoenix, AZ, but its members come from bands like Landmine Marathon, Run with the Hunted, and more. That said, Common Wounds doesn't so much pull from these past enterprises as it draws inspiration from bands like Rites of Spring, Fugazi, and even Helmet. Their upcoming self-titled five-track EP does an excellent job of creating a sound that is heavy, jangly, and metallic without sacrificing their identity or their individuality.”

Guitarist/vocalist Ian Lanspeary first teamed up with bassist Matt Martinez in 2016 at a time when the two friends were both closing the books on other musical endeavors. As a member of Run with the Hunted, Lanspeary had risen to the top of the straightedge hardcore scene; as a member of Landmine Marathon, Martinez had earned the cover of Revolver Magazine, been handpicked by Metallica to play Orion Fest, and toured the nation with the likes of Skeletonwitch and Misery Index. With the dust still settling on those chapters, Lanspeary and Martinez joined forces.

Martinez states: "We found ourselves coming into sounds that were rooted in post-hardcore and early emotional hardcore... filtered through the ultra low tunings that my instruments were already set up for."

The Common Wounds EP was recorded and mixed by Zachary Rippy (Power Trip, Wristmeetrazor) at Sound Signal Recording Studios in Mesa, AZ and mastered by Nick Zampiello (Torche, KEN mode) at New Alliance East.
