Biography

After almost a ten-year hiatus from music altogether, ex-Operation Ivy lead singer Jesse Michaels reappeared on the punk scene in 1999. Common Rider united Michaels (also on guitar) with a rhythm section of bassist Mass Giorgini (formerly of Squirtgun) and drummer Dan Lumley (Screeching Weasel). Their debut album, Last Wave Rockers, was released in 1999 on Lookout! Following up three years later on Hopeless Records, the trio enlisted the help of some friends (including Teen Idols' Phillip Hall, Bratmobile's Audrey Marrs, and Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba, among others) for This Is Unity Music. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

    At one -
    I was sitting and thinking of all the
    beautiful things he could have become
    Instead of a lyrical oracle and I'm a most appreciative one
    'cause I'm in a world of my own

    Lyrics
    I saw you burning in a starlit night
    Just like a pantheon of comets in flight
    Time of place or face, no matter
    Now listen to an idiot chatter
    Truth be told you're at least half gold

    Lyrics
    Big city miles stretchin' out into the terminal horizon
    Don't you know we had to get away?
    There was two kids with a beat up nova
    And a dream and a two a.m. song
    It was two kids with a beat up nova singin'

    Lyrics
    Tell me what will become of the youth of today
    in a culture blind to its own decay because
    We're all caught in the big swing of things and
    the knot's cinched tight by a bunch of little strings.
    What is happening to us? -We've lost our way

    Lyrics
    Can you hear the call of a blood-seated song
    singing "battered old castaways why don't you come home?"
    It's a long way back, but we're gonna go home
    'cause there ain't nothing where we've been going
    If the night chills to the bone
