Toronto, Canada based roots rockers The Commoners, release ‘Shake You Off’, the final single taken from their highly anticipated third studio album, Restless, released by Gypsy Soul Records, Friday, July 5th,2024.
To my ears this is four fiery minutes of cocksure, chest beating bravado that walks the walk, and talks the talk! If you want guitars, you got em! The riffs are no less than weapons of mass destruction as they reel and raunch with paint stripping power. A broken glass chewed lead vocal adds more intensity to your city, all pinned down by a rhythm section that could blow the balls off a charging rhino at sixty paces!
The Commoners lead guitarist and producer Ross Hayes Citrullo states,“By adding the soul and rock elements of the Black Crowes and the southern blues rock undertones of The Allman Brothers to a production style akin to Blackberry Smoke and Rival Sons, I think we delivered an authentic sound that compares sonically to some of our favourite records across all of those music genres”.
