Sounds | The Commoners - The Way I Am (live)

Roots rock in de beste traditie van het genre, dat moet je eigenlijk live horen. Het verbaast dus niet dat deze Canadese band binnen twee weken met een live album uitpakt. Gevolgd door een reeks shows in het V.K., Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland. Wat mag je van The Commoners verwachten? Songs zoals o.a. The Black Crowes ze brengen, met véél energie en passie. The Way I Am is hier een perfect voorbeeld van.

Live In The UK verschijnt op 16 mei 2025 via Gypsy Soul Records.

Lees “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.”

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 is released by Gypsy Soul Records on

May 16 th .

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 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.
