Austin Texas quartet Gentlemen Rogues celebrate aggressive guitar pop anthems — bearing the influences of The Replacements, Superdrag, Jawbreaker, and similar visionaries — and have been gaining momentum and increased attention. Since their debut in 2011, the band have honed their hooks over numerous singles, EPs, and the 2022 full-length collection, A History Of Fatalism.

Springsteen sideman Steven van Zandt hand-picked their single “Do The Resurrection!” as the “Coolest Song in the World” on his SiriusXM radio show, Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Garnering heavy airplay, listeners worldwide agreed, voting “Do the Resurrection!” as one of the top ten “Coolest Songs of 2021.”

Gentlemen Rogues have supported diverse acts like The Lemonheads, Smoking Popes, The Dandy Warhols, Mrs Magician, Supercrush, and Riverboat Gamblers on stages across the U.S. and the UK. In recent years Gentlemen Rogues opened for indie-punk icons Superchunk and Bob Mould, who personally selected the band to provide sole support on the Texas leg of his Distortion and Blue Hearts tour.

2024 will see the release of Surface Noise — a brand new LP of well-turned guitar pop, complete with roaring chords and propulsive rhythms behind Danny Dunlap’s clever and cultured lyrics. Surface Noise plays like a singles collection. Tracks like “Involuntary Solitary,” “Never the Bride,” and “All Out Crush” deploy infectious songcraft with dynamic navigation and precision — another spirited collection of power pop earworms for discriminating fans of winsome, punk-tinged, rock n roll, melodicism.
