About Me |

Common Sense is not just another reggae band from Orange County. With a SoCal background and a small beach town attitude Common Sense took their reggae-rock influences and created their own style. Nick Hernandez started Common Sense in Santa Barbara while studying music at UCSB. His soulful vocal style and natural stage presence gained the group an immediate loyal following. He then moved back to South Laguna where he joined up with Billy Sherman whose upbeat guitar and melodic sensibility gained Common Sense more attention. Larry Young grew up in Houston, Texas playing bass in rock and reggae bands. He moved to California where his funky bass style fit the band perfectly. Drummer Drew Hester added his rock steady beats completing the band sound. This new lineup went on to record Common Senses first album, Live at the Belly Up. Common Sense went on to make four more records and has been playing live shows around the country non-stop. Their sound has been constantly evolving and their message becoming more powerful. Phil Gough, a long time friend, recently joined the band. His masterful guitar playing has brought Common Sense to a new level. Dont Look Back is the latest release from Common Sense. This CD showcases how far the band has come in finding its own unique style by blending their love of reggae, rock, and funk to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The combination of powerful lyrics and magnetic groove draws the listener in and keeps them captive. This CD moves from heavier reggae grooves on songs like, Sure Enough and Im Gone to exploding with alternative rock tracks like Twisted Mind and A Little Bit Closer. If you love the pop vibe, then you wont be disappointed on tunes like Good This Time and Baby Girl. Dont Look Back is collage of musical talents, taste and influences resulting in a CD that everyone can groove too. The album was produced with a specific goal in mind. The band wanted the CD to reflect the melding of reggae and rock, and avoid creating an album that is so overproduced, so polished that it no longer resembles the roots of where reggae came from... "A LITTLE BIT CLOSER" from COMMON SENSE LIVE DVD..... |
