The Commons were a band from Trenton, New Jersey. Led by singer Keith Monacchio, they released a ton of great albums over the years and were one of my favorite local bands.
This would be their final release and they went out in style. Musically and lyrically, the band was at the top of their game which made their decision to move on disappointing.
"American Ghost" wasn't just a great album, it had several of their best all-time tracks as well. Guess it's best to go out on top?
