Nottingham’s Finest: Commons Drops Debut EP ‘Clean Living’
Get ready to turn up the volume and hit repeat because Nottingham indie-rockers Commons have just unleashed their highly anticipated debut EP, ‘Clean Living’! Released on May 24th, this EP is packed with infectious energy, vibrant melodies, and a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll spirit.
Hailed for their unique fusion of indie rock and electronic elements, Commons has been making waves in the Nottingham music scene and beyond. From packed-out shows to radio play across the UK, placements on Apple Music playlists, and glowing reviews from tastemakers, Commons is a band on the rise.
Drawing comparisons to the likes of Kasabian, Foals, and Bloc Party, Commons has crafted a sound that is both commercially accessible and refreshingly alternative. Seamlessly blending lush synth lines with tight guitar riffs, punchy drums, and earworm melodies, the band’s music is a sonic rollercoaster that leaves you craving more.
Speaking about the EP, the band shares: “Clean Living is an ode to our kaleidoscopic taste in music, with each song giving a flare of something exciting that catches your ears leaving you eager for more. There is a wide range of meaning behind each track in this, it’s not solely based on one event or feeling – it’s more focused on telling short stories and experiences.”
Already known for their electrifying live performances, including a sold-out show at Beat The Streets Festival, Commons has received praise from outlets like Earmilk, Ones To Watch, and Fame Magazine. And with upcoming live dates, including a headline show at Rough Trade Nottingham on June 8th, Commons is set to solidify their place as Nottingham’s finest musical export.
So, crank up the volume, hit play on ‘Clean Living’, and get ready to embark on a musical journey you won’t soon forget. Commons is here to rock your world, one electrifying riff at a time!
The danceable new track delivers a feel-good message about leaving negativity behind and embracing life to the fullest.
DiDi Musiqq is back with her latest single, “Get Up,” an energetic Afrobeats track that encourages listeners to stop dwelling on life’s challenges, leave sorrow behind and make the most of every moment.
Built around infectious rhythms and an uplifting message, “Get Up” transforms life’s difficulties into a reason to keep moving forward. Inspired by the familiar idea that life can sometimes hand us lemons, DiDi Musiqq chooses to turn those lemons into sweet lemonade—and invites everyone else to do the same.
With its danceable Afrobeats sound, “Get Up” is more than a song to move to. It is a reminder to embrace positive energy, pursue what makes you happy and live without allowing negativity to hold you back.
“Life is too short, and instead of focusing on the negatives, I’m focused on the positive vibes, which is exactly what this song is talking about,” says DiDi Musiqq. “Experiencing life to the fullest—whether it’s going to a party, love, or whatever it is your heart desires. Get up and go for it.”
The new single encourages listeners to make a choice: get up, keep going and enjoy the life in front of them. Whether the perfect soundtrack is playing at a party, during a night out with someone special or simply while starting a new day, “Get Up” delivers a message of optimism and forward movement.
With “Get Up,” DiDi Musiqq continues to bring her unique energy and positive outlook to her music, creating a track designed to get listeners moving while reminding them that even after difficult moments, there is always a reason to get back up.
