The Commoners unveil “Just Watch Me”

Canadian roots rockers The Commoners are set to return to the UK in December 2025 for a 10-date headline tour. The run will feature special guests Candar, an alt-rock duo from North Devon.

The tour coincides with the release of The Commoners’ new single, “Just Watch Me,” out Friday, November 7. The high-energy track showcases the band’s signature mix of grit and melody.

“‘Just Watch Me’ is the moment you stop apologizing for the weight on your shoulders and lean into it,” says guitarist Ross Hayes Citrullo. “The main guitar riff feels like a rising charge, before the chorus kicks the doors open, and a jam section that refuses to back down. It’s a statement piece for the stage. We’re looking forward to playing it live on tour.”

Described as a bold and defiant anthem, “Just Watch Me” channels themes of ownership and resilience, pushing back against self-doubt with lyrics like, “If you think the crown weighs heavy on me, you ain’t been listening… I’m making up a task force, the likes you’ve never seen.” The track blends reflective verses with a powerful, hook-driven chorus and a searing guitar solo built for the stage.

Joining The Commoners on tour, Candar bring their melodic vocals, gritty riffs, and explosive energy. The duo recently played two sets at Glastonbury and completed a sold-out UK and Ireland tour with Bôa in 2024.

“The UK has become a second home for us,” says bassist Ben Spiller. “Over the last few years, we’ve had the pleasure of rocking dozens of shows over the course of five unforgettable UK tours and festivals.”

The tour and single follow the release of The Commoners – Live in the UK, a live album featuring nine performances captured during their 2024 tour.
