Experimenting with new arrangements and recording methods, Community College continues to shrug at the trivial and chuckle at the mundane with SCHMOMCO. John Margaris spoke about the album, the beginnings of Community College, the Boston scene, and being intentional in more ways than just writing music.
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has come, with releases big and small - albums that went under the radar, the hidden gems, and the essential records from the past twelve months, even a few “buzz” bands and beyond. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the year without a pre-determined length.
“The Post-Trash 60” is a guide to some (60) of our favorite releases so far with a diverse range of rock music’s many sub-genres and hip-hop, from extreme metal to lo-fi bedroom pop and all that falls between. We’ve got “buzz bands” worth the buzz, self-released hidden-gems, all the weird international post-punk and noise rock you could ever want, and of course all the artistic punk influenced indie we know and love.
Introducing (or re-introducing) Community College, a brilliant lo-fi collective led by Horse Jumper of Love’s own John Margaris. Joined by his brother, Dan Margaris and Dimitri Giannopolous (also of HJOL), Community College occupies a similar space as their main act, offering warped to perfection pop songs with surreal yet relatable lyrics and earworm melodies tucked just under the fuzzy presence of the room.
