“This is a Canadian band from Toronto who channel a pure Southern Rock sound that could be a time machine from the 70s.”
– Vanguard Online
“The Commoners find common ground in the classic rock of Free and Led Zeppelin, and the Southern flavorings of Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke, by combining tasty riffs and soul-tinged vocals.”
– R’N’R Magazine
“This is the kind of show that Saturday nights were made for. Rock ‘n’ roll, good
company, and the energy to give you memories for a lifetime.”
-Mick Birchall
“Restless offers a dynamic spectrum of soundscapes, seamlessly weaving introspective slower-tempo ballads and rip-roaring anthems.”
-Blues Matters Magazine
The Commoners released their first official studio album, Find A Better Way, in the fall of 2022. Following the album’s release, the band toured extensively across Canada, Europe, and the UK, cementing their place in the roots rock music scene. The group found notable success on UK radio with the singles “Fill My Cup,” “Too Much,” and the title track, “Find A Better Way.”
Find A Better Way is The Commoners’ first official studio album, featuring 9 tracks recorded in their hometown of Toronto, Canada. It introduced the group’s soulful roots rock and roll sound – apparent on songs like “Fill My Cup”, “Too Much”, and “Find A Better Way”. It also showed the range of the group with country-leaning ballads “Naturally”, I Won’t” and “Hangin’ On Again”.
“Country rock, a dollop of blues and soul, roots, and rock… The Commoners’ Find A Better Way takes you up and down, and the ride is fabulous.”
–Powerplay Magazine, 9/10
“There’s light and shade, melodic rockers and country-tinged ballads, quality songs delivered with passionate energy. This is an album that gets better with each repeated listen.”
–Blues in Britain
Building on the momentum of Find A Better Way, and emboldened by extensive touring throughout Europe and the UK—including support slots for Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton—the Commoners released their highly anticipated 2024 album, Restless.
A natural evolution from Find A Better Way, Restless offers a peek behind the curtain of success, revealing the grueling routines and ragged emotions that hide behind the glamorous aesthetic of a rock band on the rise. With introspective, slower-tempo numbers pocketed amongst rip-roaring anthems, the new album, recorded at RHC Music in Toronto, is a portrait of a hardworking group revitalizing a classic genre.
Restless – The Commoners – Listen Now
In 2024 and 2025, The Commoners significantly ramped up their touring, with multiple ventures across Europe, the UK, and Canada. Highlights from this period include headlining the 2025 Call of the Wild Festival and Steelhouse Rock Festival in Wales, appearances at Sweden Rock Festival, and support tours with The Sheepdogs and later DeWolff across Europe. In the midst of these tours, the band began recording their live shows, with a standout performance in the UK—captured at the end of The Sheepdogs tour—ultimately becoming a new live release, The Commoners – Live in the UK.
“The Way I Am (Live)” is blues rock of the highest order that majestically rocks and roars for just over three guitar heavy minutes of party starting and finishing prowess.”
–Planet Mosh, 5-Stars
“For those new to the Commoner’s ‘The Way I Am’, welcome, it will only take you a couple of listens before you’re belting out, singing along as passionately as the rest of us.”
–Ramzine
The Commoners return to Europe this spring for their newly announced Runnin’ Blind Tour, bringing their tried-and-true blend of southern rock across seven countries over three weeks in May. The band will perform fan favorites from their acclaimed albums Find A Better Way and Restless, while also debuting new material set to be recorded later this year for their anticipated third studio album.
