State Champs have kickstarted a new era with vibrant single ‘Common Sense’.
The first new music from the band since the release of their self-titled record in 2024, it’s packed full of huge hooks and showcases a slightly darker edge to their sound.
Speaking on ‘Common Sense’, the band have shared:
“Common Sense brings out a slightly darker and heavier side to us while keeping the Champ’s integrity strong. Lyrically, it’s about completely investing yourself in someone while also being naive to the fact that you never had anything in common to begin with.”
Take a listen below:
State Champs will head out on tour with A Day to Remember and Yellowcard this month, before making an appearance at Vans Warped Tour Orlando in November.
