anadian Roots-Rock band The Commoners have released their new album The Commoners – Live in the UK to coincide with their UK tour, which starts tonight in Faversham.
Riding high off the strength of their previous releases, Find A Better Way and Restless, the UK and European tour takes in a four-week tour across five countries, The Commoners: Live In The UK was recorded when the band were on tour in the UK in 2024.Released by Gypsy Soul Records, the album is available on CD and vinyl HERE, and digital HERE.
“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 4 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.”
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 single from taken from the live album, “The Way I Am,” is available to stream HERE.
