Critically acclaimed Canadian Roots-Rock band The Commoners are back and ready to kick off their biggest year yet!
Riding high off the strength of their previous releases, Find A Better Way and Restless, The Commoners return to EU/UK in May 2025 for a four-week tour across five countries, bringing a brand-new offering in the form of a nine-song album The Commoners: Live In The UK, recorded live in The UK in 2024. The album will be released by Gypsy Soul Records on May 16th.
The album is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl here, and pre-save digitally at this location.
Introducing nine new live recordings to get you moving and shaking. Songs you know and love with added parts, extended sections, performed live on tour in The UK in 2024.
“The UK has become a second home for us,” says The Commoners bassist, Ben Spiller. “Over the last couple of years, we have had the pleasure of rocking dozens of shows over the course of four UK tours. Every time we head back, things get bigger and better. On our last run through The UK with The Sheepdogs, we had the idea to record a few of our final shows. The recordings sounded huge, and we immediately knew we had to do something with them.”
Tracklisting:
Shake You Off
The Way I Am
Who Are You
Gone Without Warning
Restless
See You Again
Devil Teasin’ Me
Fill My Cup
Find A Better Way
Mixed and mastered by The Commoners’ lead guitarist Ross Hayes Citrullo at RHC Music in Toronto, this album features nine tracks from the Find A Better Way and Restless albums, featuring extended intros, outros, solos, and brand new never-before-heard parts of the songs.
“This album means a lot to the band because what you hear is 100% authentically us,” says Citrullo. “It’s the true Commoners live show experience, captured from the perspective of a fan in the crowd. It’s loose, heavy, and full of energy. We were wrapping up a long tour when we recorded this… the band was riding high. You can feel the energy in the room, it’s electric.”
The first live single “The Way I Am” is available on all streaming platforms on Friday April 18th. Pre-save the single here. Stream the audio below.
