about
The Common Men were formed as a solo project by Kevin Ian in 2005 but was finally realized as a working band in mid 2006. The band first started out as a strictly Post-Punk outfit, drawing heavily from Interpol, Moving Units, Franz Ferdinand, and Joy Division. As the years have passed, the band has managed to blur the lines of influences. Now included are elements of Riot Grrl, Shoegaze, and Harsh Noise... all while keeping a foot firmly planted in Pop sensibilities. 2010 and 2011 have been productive years for The Common Men, including radio interviews, live sets on radio and even headlining local radio showcases. With current radio play in a few states across the nation and write-ups from around the globe, a new direction was to be forged. Two albums and three EP's later, "Let it Burn" was released in late 2011. Having garnered favorable reviews and a recent acceptance in the Pandora Music Genome Project, The Common Men have already set their sights on working on new material and finding ways to give back to their modest and quite loyal fan base.
