Our Common Sense is a relative young collective who plays music with a touch of the heavier genres since 2014. We cannot pinpoint one genre that will fully describe our music, but if we have to choose, we would say we play post/stoner metal with an exciting touch of post-hardcore vocals. Our influences can be traced back to Karma To Burn, Steak Number Eight, Prong, Truckfighters, Orange Goblin, Bring Me The Horizon, Silosis and many more...

In the early years (2014-2016) Our Common Sense was commonly known as an instrumental band. The brothers Baetslé and a friend established the project with their love for music. Almost three years passed and with the change of musicians coming and leaving Jelle, Seppe, and Glenn welcomed their second guitarist Stijn who implemented the stoner genre into the heavy metal sound of Our Common Sense. At the beginning of 2017 the band transformed into their full line up, adding the vocals of Thomas, they began writing their first EP. By adding the raw screams of his empathic voice, OCS left their status of being an instrumental band behind. The various sounds blended into one indefinable genre with traces of stoner-rock, post-metal, and sludge. This led to the upcoming release of Mankind’s Worst To Know in March 2018. The Ep contains five songs which tells the story of our contemporary society and how they experience it. How eyes follow every movement we make and how fast people judge our believes, leaving us behind, cast to stone.
