...yes it sure feels right!

About Me

If you close your eyes while listening to the intensive music of Common Tones it may take you to places. The images might vary from a cowboy cliché to where you can almost taste the malt on your lips while sitting in a pub getting anxious to close... Picture yourself wherever you want to, but if we’ve made you move we’ve made the grade. Then again you might as well want to keep your eyes open and see us play, ‘cos that’s what we do best!Common Tones is a five piece group based in Turku, Finland. In the summer of 2006 we released a self-published demo, which finally launched our common journey as a performing band. The opening track ‘Castle’ even made its way to the radio, but we’re still unsigned and eager to find ways to get our music out there.Well, that’s how it goes. Thanks for the cheer! I hope you didn’t mind our bending your ear..I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
