Community Gun

About Me

Berkeley Place: “Who the fuck is Community Gun? I'm glad you asked!” Lucid Culture: “This is the real deal.” Local Vertical: “Wicked, badass...not signed to any label but really should be.” Tough Customer//Wire: “This scrappy band will shamble their way onto your stereo and win you over with an unexpected dash of style.” Blog of Sound: “4.5 stars. A great listen. Community Gun is a breath of fresh air.” For The Sake Of The Song: “Tom Waits meets the Mats. If I worked for a record label I’d sign ‘em up pronto.” Ivory Towerz Radio: "Raw talent. You can hear the band playing a bourbon-soaked barroom...and if you can rock there, you can rock anywhere." The Scott Fuller Show: “Like Beck with a blues riff. You gotta love it.” Snob’s Music: “Something special. I for one can‘t wait to hear a full length from the band.” Rollo & Grady: “I expect big things from these guys.” Damien Is Listening To: “They’re awesome. Like nothing I’ve heard, in a good way. Someone seriously needs to sign these guys up whilst they're hot.” Guilt Free Pleasures: “A great deal of promise and talent. I can't help but rock out to them. Definitely a band to keep an eye out for.”
