Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, FieldHockey released their brand-new single “Common Trope.” FieldHockey unveils a fresh and invigorating perspective with their latest single, "Common Trope." The track radiates an infectious energy that is both vibrant and exuberant. Layered throughout are catchy, pop-infused melodies that resonate with listeners, alongside standout clean vocals that soar above the instrumentation. These melodic elements are intriguingly juxtaposed with sporadic bursts of screams, adding an edgy contrast that heightens the overall intensity of the song. As "Common Trope" unfolds, it captivates the audience, weaving joy and raw emotion together in a seamless musical experience.
I absolutely love how beautifully the vocals intertwine with the beats; the synergy between them creates an amazing listening experience. It's quite reminiscent of the tracks I already have in my playlist, which is a testament to the quality of music I'm drawn to. I find it particularly eye-catching, especially for anyone in search of newer bands to enrich their playlists. The unique sound and fresh vibes they bring could elevate one's music collection!
“Common Trope" emerged from the remnants of an ancient and nearly forgotten FieldHockey track, reshaped through years marred by burnout, regret, overthinking, and countless hours of squandered opportunities. The upbeat, lively instrumentation is a playful invitation that dances with a hint of self-aware cynicism. After all, we’ve all been there: the ever-elusive promise of time. But what truly unfolds when you finally find yourself with that precious commodity? The answer, inevitably, is procrastination. At this stage in my life, I've become something of a connoisseur of this craft. The lesson rings clear: never let your hopes soar too high, kid—embrace the art of time-wasting, and you'll navigate through life just fine.” - FieldHockey

**WHAT THE PUCK IS FIELDHOCKEY?!?!?**
Post-Hardcore heavy hitters from the scenic city of Chattanooga, TN, FieldHockey started as a pop-punk project back in 2019. After Enon Harris was let go from the Alt-Prog metal group “Ten-Year Flood,” he sought a new creative outlet. He began the initial formation of FieldHockey with drummer Brad Moss and bassist Justin White. In need of guitar, Enon brought in ex-bandmate Joseph Scruggs, and FieldHockey was officially underway!
Under this lineup, they released a demo with Noisy Cricket studios and seven singles with Breaker 17 studios. Over the next two years, FieldHockey played numerous packed shows, including an opening slot for The Funeral Portrait, known for their Billboard #1 hit song “Suffocate City.” They also performed alongside legendary act Wine Lips at JJ’s Bohemia and at the Valley Vibes Music and Arts festival for multiple years, drawing over 800 fans.
In 2022, the band faced struggles that led to the departure of guitarist Joey Scruggs and an indefinite hiatus. However, in October 2023, the spark was reignited with the addition of two new members. Michael Avakian and Jake Hixson joined the group as co-lead guitarists. With these new members came a shift in direction; they worked to retain the punk rock essence of the band while adding a natural metal flair to their sound.
On June 1, 2024, FieldHockey released their first single with the new lineup, “Ecdysis.” The fresh and aggressive approach surprised longtime fans, featuring an earworm chorus and earth-moving breakdowns.
