Common Cause started as an idea between Daniel and Jon in late 2005. Although they both had other bands at the time (Damage Control, Soulfire and Shipwrecked), they felt there was a certain style of hardcore they wanted to play, that didn't quite fit with either of their current bands. A band drawing influences from 80's hardcore bands like Youth of Today, Straight Ahead or The Abused, rather than the X-Claim!-inspired sound of Shipwrecked or Damage Control's more melodic edge.
