Common Cause started in late 2005 when long time friends Daniel and Jon set out with the goal of creating a 80’s styled hardcore band that drew influences from Youth of Today, Straight Ahead, and The Abused, while reflecting the goals and ideals of people who believe in change. After recruiting Hans, P.O. (later replaced by Espen), and Truls to round out the line-up, band recorded their 5-song demo in March of 2006, and later that year Common Cause returned with their 7” EP “Statement Of Purpose” which was released on Powered Records. In the following years CC hit the road with bands like The First Step, Justice and ON, and in 2008 released their full-length “The Power to Change” also on Powered records.

I had met Daniel through his former band Damage Control, so when I heard that he had a new project I immediately checked it out and have been blown away by every release they’ve done. Their live shows are unbelievably powerful and when you see Common Cause you know you’re seeing a true representation of HARDCORE. So, I’m psyched to announce that in the spring of 2010 REACT! will be releasing the “Statement of Purpose” LP which combines their demo and EP in a full-length format, remastered, and pressed at 45 rpm. Pre-orders will start in March along with the Betrayed EP so until then check them out at their myspace:
