June 28, 2016 - New York, NY - New York indie rock act The Commuters are excited to announce that they will be releasing their brand new EP, Before I Was Born, on August 12th, 2016. Before I Was Born, which features the band's hit song "You'll Stay Right Here," marks The Commuters' first release since 2012's Rescue.

On the new EP, frontman Zeeshan Zaidi shares: "We've been away for a little bit and are excited to get back reconnect with our fans. This EP has just 4 songs but a lot of life has happened in our time off, so it's very personal and covers a lot of ground - creation, mortality, struggle and hope."

The Commuters, consisting of Zaidi (vocals,guitar/keyboard), Uri Djemal (guitar/keyboard), Ben Zwerin (bass), and Paul Amorese (drums), might hail from New York, but their kinetic, personal anthems capture an alt-rock essence that aspires toward worldwide appeal. Their 2012 debut, Rescue, earned the band accolades and exposure from outlets as wide-reaching and influential as college radio, mtvU, PureVolume and Guitar World. But more importantly, it spoke to listeners in a direct, uncomplicated way that created a devoted worldwide audience thanks to the band's songs being equal parts melody and honesty.

Zaidi's songwriting on The Commuters' forthcoming EP reflects the band's continued desire to move as many people as possible with their music. He fuses together longtime influences such as David Bowie and Peter Gabriel with modern progressive artists such as The Killers and Bon Iver to create intriguing, engaging rock songs that are destined to connect with you on a visceral level.

The Commuters will release their new EP Before I Was Born via Communal Records on August 12th, 2016.
