Austin TX-based Gentlemen Rogues celebrate aggressive guitar pop, with punk-inflected energy, polished, precise songwriting, and hooks as sharp and sleek as the Rickenbackers they bang them out on.
The band has just released the new single “Do the Resurrection!” on 7″ half-n-half coloured vinyl via Denver, CO indie label Snappy Little Numbers.
Of the track, the band says, “Do the Resurrection! is a fuzzed-out blast of power-pop that playfully tackles love and loss, life and death, dying and undying devotion, rinsing and repeating. It also has a duelling guitar solo, that gives White Reaper a run for their money.”
The accompanying B-side, “Bloody Rudderless (in Ursa Major)” is a cover song consisting of 70% “Rudderless” by The Lemonheads, 25% “Destination Ursa Major” by Superdrag, and 5% “When You Sleep” by My Bloody Valentine. A 90’s indie-rockers dream come true? At the very least, it’s a unique idea and hard to argue that it’s not pretty badass. This 2 song single finds the band blending lush, lyrical and instrumental, textures to create a sonic cocktail sure to intoxicate discerning ears.
