Common Birds

Common Birds craft a sound that blends the raw energy of 90s indie rock with a laid-back, jangly edge. Drawing comparisons to both the lo-fi grit of The Velvet Underground and the playful, off-kilter spirit of Vampire Weekend, the band creates music that's both timeless and deeply personal.

Formed with a DIY ethos, Common Birds weave together a tapestry of influences—from the slacker rock vibe of Pavement to the nostalgic harmonies of Motown. Their songs dive into life’s bittersweet moments with a keen sense of storytelling, capturing everything from carefree childhood memories in “Snow Day” to the emotional complexity of modern love in “Last Heart.”

Known for their ability to shift between upbeat, catchy melodies and introspective, groove-laden jams, the band’s sound is ever-evolving. Whether it’s the bright, jangly riffs of “Always Do” or the chill, slack mood of “If Only,” Common Birds keep listeners engaged with music that’s easy to vibe with but layered with meaning.
