Austin, Texas never disappoints when it comes to being a hotbed for great independent bands and Gentlemen Rogues is no exception.
With their Do the Resurrection 7” they showcase not only their weak spot for fuzzed-out guitar driven pop punk, but also their song writing expertise reminiscent of the better moments of acts like XTC, Gaslight Anthem, Teenage Fanclub and the simple yet ever effectful Ramones-esque catchiness.
With the B-side being a deliberate homage in song form to The Lemonheads, Superdrag and My Bloody Valentine in terms of segments being lifted from Gentlemen Rogues’ favourite songs of the aforementioned bands, this is playful and enjoyable slab of vinyl that whets one’s appetite for more.
