NOLAxNOLA26 PRESENTS: COMMUNITY with BRUCEY and THE SELF HELP TAPES

Like so many bands of the time, especially locally, Community seemed to detest the catchall emo moniker. Despite their protestations, its hard not to make comparisons to some of the late 90s and early 2000s giants: the twinkling, sometimes frenetic jamminess of Braid, the melancholic guitar hooks of Sunny Day Real Estate, the lyrical catchiness of early Get Up Kids or Tuesday. Additionally, they seemed to share a bit of DNA with the post-emo indie bands of the day: the rock sensibilities of Burning Airlines or Jets to Brazil and even some vocal harmonies hinting at a touch of Pinback. And yet the end result seemed totally fresh. The band had a clear understanding of how to play their instruments and really dial in their live sound, a deep and skillful musicianship that made them stick out locally and stand head and shoulders with any professional touring act.
