Common Sage is an American emo band based in Brooklyn, New York. Formed on Staten Island in 2018, the band has released two albums and one EP. Members include Julian Rosen on vocals and guitar, Chris Johns on guitar and bass guitar, and Phil DiMarco on drums.
After the dissolution of his previous band, Davey Crockett., Julian Rosen recruited two friends of his, Phil DiMarco (formerly of Quantice Never Crashed) and Jenna Snyder, to help him develop and perform some unreleased songs. [1] This reworked material was recorded for the band’s debut album, “Where are you? I’m in Klamath Falls, are you here?” released on cassette by Good Sadie Media in 2018. [2] After this album’s release, the trio toured heavily. [1]
The band recorded several songs during 2019 and 2020, and featured these on an EP, Might as Well Eat the Chicken, We Won’t Be Here in the Morning, released by Acrobat Unstable in 2020.

In October of 2020, Rosen, DiMarco, and new member Chris Johns traveled to Chicago to record their sophomore album with Neil Strauch, known for producing such bands as Joan of Arc and Slow Mass.
