**Rhythm Corps** is an [alternative rock](/source/Alternative_rock) band from Detroit, Michigan beginning in the 1980s. They released two extended play (EP) records and two full-length albums. They are most well known for their hit "Common Ground."

## History

Originally known as Rhythm Method, the group formed in 1981 with Michael Persh, Greg Apro (né Aprahamian), Davey Holmbo (a/k/a David Adamson), and Richie Lovsin. The band played in the Detroit Metro area and attracted a local following. The extended play *Paquet De Cinq* is their only release as Rhythm Method (later runs of the EP called the band Rhythm Corps). They played shows with [The Psychedelic Furs](/source/The_Psychedelic_Furs), [The Jam](/source/The_Jam), [Billy Idol](/source/Billy_Idol) and went on tour with fellow Detroit natives, [The Romantics](/source/The_Romantics).[1] They released the independent EP *Espirit De Corps* in 1985, which included a regional radio hit called "Vanishes". In 1988, Rhythm Corps released their debut full-length studio album, *[Common Ground](/source/Common_Ground_(Rhythm_Corps_album))*, on [Epic](/source/Epic_Records). The album hit No. 104 on the [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) while the title track single "Common Ground" hit No. 9 on the [Mainstream Rock](/source/Hot_Mainstream_Rock_Tracks) charts.[2] In 1991, they released *The Future's Not What It Used to Be*, which failed to duplicate *Common Ground'*s success.
