Apparently, Gentlemen Rogues don’t like stupid-looking hats. I am not sure what constitutes a stupid-looking hat, but I imagine a loud purple fedora adorned with a pink band around it and maybe a fake feather to compliment it. I have to point out that long-distance relationships rarely work when combined with international love connections. Didn’t you watch 90 Day Fiance!.
This band with the contradictory name aligns perfectly with bands like The Figgs (does anyone remember them?). Perhaps a cover of “Favorite Shirt” is in order!? They seem to nestle into the powerpop side of The Descendents and I am pretty sure they all have Milo tattoos adorned on their body; if they don’t they should. Orienting themselves somewhere between Canada’s powerpop deities- Sloan and repetitive listens to Jawbreaker. The worldly, soft-spoken polite side tends to be in direct conflict with the outcast, downtrodden, destructive picaro elements. Thus creating a collision of kinetic energy thrust and propelled forward on a steady backbeat.
Little Steven had them as one of his coolest songs of the week with their song “I Am The Resurrection!” and that is nothing to shake a large witch's broomstick at! Join the hootenanny as these powerpop sennachies spin tuneful bliss for your cultivated ear canals. Hop on board as the driving metal wheels scratch and spark the third rail sending an electrifying jump start to your meager, mundane, inner crashing world. Pick It Up Pick it Up. Daddy's got a new pair of brothel creepers and wants to crunch a few toes.
