NOLAxNOLA26 PRESENTS: COMMUNITY

Local Rock Legends COMMUNITY headline this NOLAxNOLA26 Presentation! "Like so many bands of the time, especially locally, Community seemed to detest the catchall , "rdquo" -> emo" moniker. Despite their protestations, it's 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. com/reviews/reviews-74/)
