Track Of The Day GARY ROBERT and Community
Released around a month ago, “SHOUT. DRUMS. DANCE” is the electrifying latest single by Gary Robert and Community, a Post Punk band from Cape Girardeau, Missouri with Punk, Goth, and Death Rock influences, whose existence I was somewhat unaware of and fully worth underlining.
Established in 2008 by Gary Robert (vocals/ guitar), and Brandon Glenn (drums), joined in 2022 by Chris Talley (bass), the trio continue in the same inspirational path as the 2022 fourth and last album, “Black Palette,” with, lyric-wise, an esoteric song about the battle between good and evil, featuring Pat Bailey-Robert on bass and backing vocals.
Ably and deeply embodying the spirit, pathos and intensity of timeless dark rock, Shout. Drums. Dance” is an epic gothic rock ’n roll ride harnessed to unremitting urgent drumming, vibrant humming basslines and buzzsaw sizzling riffs, fueled by shady soulful vocal broods, interspersed with assertive catchy refrains, you can’t help but get it stuck up in your head, to shout, jump and dance.
Gary Robert and Community are currently creating their next LP, this time we’ll keep a close eye on them…
