♫ The Talent That Manifested In New Brunswick: Communipaw

Brian Bond, Keith Carne, David Esterman and Justin Gaynor call themselves Communipaw. With an interesting name, creative aspirations and musical talent, these four guys have been pursuing their musical endeavors for nearly three years. Producing music of the folk-rock genre, the now University alumni have just released their second full-length album titled, Big Blue. Having previously put out an EP and their first, self-titled full-length album in 2008, Big Blue has finally begun to put Communipaw on the radar. Gaining recognition from music websites such as absolute punk, the band continues to promote their music by touring various locations in the United States.

The band's creative drive is heavily influenced by the lyrics and songwriting of Brian Bond. Esterman and Gaynor complement his lyrics and voice nicely with their zestful bass and guitar parts, which give the band a soft, alternative-rock feel. With Carne on the drums, his encouraging rhythms compel listeners to tune in. Factoring all of these aspects into one focus, Communipaw created a band that produces their own brand of original music. Though they surfaced out of New Brunswick they have not conformed to the typical, post-alternative sound that the city is known for.

Communipaw's new album defines their willingness to recreate their style. With such potential and desire it'd be in your best interest to check these guys out. Their album can be purchased on iTunes and you can follow their progress at communipawmusic.com. They can be found rolling back around to their stomping grounds of New Brunswick on Nov. 19 for the "Fest with Benefits" at the Colab Art Space on 49 Bayard St. Don't miss the opportunity to support and witness local talent at its finest.
