Weight of the Sun formed in 2008 and has shared the stage with internationally renowned rock and metal groups, including Glassjaw, Intronaut, Silver Snakes, Gorguts, North, Brain Tentacles, and many others. Their debut album Commons was released to critical acclaim in 2014. Praise for Commons: "Every turn of Commons’ emotive tide is a heavy-handed crescendo that finds the little pockets where you’ve stored your musical snobbery, and then breaks it apart to widen your horizons." - Osprey "Weight of the Sun sound pretty much exactly like Jupiter-era Cave In. And when I say that, I mean it as an absolute compliment. Not many bands combine pop hooks with metal’s heaviness, so it’s nice to see that there’s one that does right in our own backyard." - San Diego CityBeat "This kinda sounds like when Cave In stopped being a hardcore band and made that weirdo space rock record." - Noisey/Vice
