Toronto-based roots rock band The Commoners have announced the release of their new single, “Restless,” the title track from their critically acclaimed third studio album. Available on all streaming platforms from Friday, September 13th, the track captures the band’s signature Southern rock energy with a modern twist. Fans can watch the official music video for the single on YouTube and purchase the album through the band’s official store.
In support of the new single, The Commoners will embark on an extensive UK and European tour, opening for Canadian rock icons The Sheepdogs throughout November and December 2024. The tour will culminate with a highly anticipated performance at Planet Rockstock Festival on December 1st. Tickets for all shows are available now on their website.
The Commoners have been turning heads with previous singles like “Devil Teasin’ Me,” “The Way I Am,” and “Shake You Off,” all earning spots on Planet Rock’s playlist. Their gritty riffs, soulful vocals, and tight melodies have solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting modern rock bands on the scene. Blues Rock Review called Restless “an impressive album that’s both a tribute to classic rock and a bold step forward for the band.”
Fresh off their previous album Find A Better Way, the band—comprised of Chris Medhurst (vocals, guitar), Ross Hayes Citrullo (lead guitar), Adam Cannon (drums), Ben Spiller (bass), and Miles Evans-Branagh (keys)—are known for their high-energy performances and rootsy, Southern-influenced sound. Drawing inspiration from legends like The Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin, and Derek Trucks, the band adds their own blend of soul, rock, and Motown-inspired grooves.
Restless, the band’s latest effort, offers a mix of hard-hitting anthems and introspective tracks, showcasing both their musical evolution and their commitment to revitalizing classic rock for today’s audience. As they prepare to hit the road, The Commoners are proving that they’re here to stay, blending timeless influences with a modern edge.
Catch them live on tour and experience the energy for yourself—this is one show you won’t want to miss!
