Bio

"Tom Waits. Leonard Cohen. The Replacements. These are references I'm going to try not to overuse when talking about Highland, NY four-piece Community Gun. Beyond the aforementioned rock icons, the group lists artists like Lou Reed and The Pogues among their influences. Their recent Community Gun EP is a collection of six original tracks that range from booze-soaked bluesy piano laments to down and dirty garage rockers.

The band stands out [in] their ability to synthesize a new sound from cobbling together the best of each of their influences. A great example is a song like "Ain't Quite Like Before" where Waitsian vocals are layered on top of what could be an uptempo White Stripes song (not one of those monotonous crappers like "Blue Orchid" or "Icky Thump").

What I like most about Community Gun, however, is that in listening to it one gets the feeling that these guys just love what they're doing. You can tell they love playing music and it comes through even on the recordings. I for one can't wait to hear a full length from the band."
