Gentlemen Rogues have announced a new 7" on Snappy Little Numbers and released the first single.

Austin TX-based Gentlemen Rogues celebrate aggressive guitar pop, with punk-inflected energy, polished, precise songwriting, with sharp and sleek hooks. This is a four-piece for Now People, drawing inspiration from UK legends like The Jam, XTC, The Smiths, and Teenage Fanclub, while steadfastly blasting their own course through an American indie rock canon shaped by Superdrag, The Replacements, Sugar, and Superchunk...Manchester by way of the Midwest. Collectively, Danny Dunlap (vocals, guitar), John Christoffel (guitar), David Hawkins (bass), and Josh Power (drums) crank out catchy, amplified treble kickers, mixing powder keg intensity, classic melodies, and brash theatrics into a 200-proof distillation of brazen rock ‘n’ roll.

Consistently winning over audiences with their vital and urgent live shows, Gentlemen Rogues most recently played sole support for Bob Mould’s Texas dates on his Distortion and Blue Hearts tour. Gentlemen Rogues have also shared the stage with such diverse musical outfits as the Lemonheads, Smoking Popes, Ultimate Fakebook, Field Music, Mrs Magician, Field Day (Dag Nasty), and The Dandy Warhols.

In their campaign to rule the airwaves, Gentlemen Rogues previous single Do the Resurrection! was handpicked by Stevie Van Zandt last February as "The Coolest Song In The World" on his SiriusXM channel and terrestrial radio show Little Steven's Underground Garage. It was also end of the year, listener voted as "The 6th Coolest Song of 2021.” Gentlemen Rogues have garnered radio play throughout the United States on various college and Internet radio shows, as well as across the pond on BBC Radio 6's Tom Robinson Show.

Their brand new single, Francy will be released by Snappy Little Numbers (Denver, CO) on Friday, April 1st, and will be available digitally and on tri-color striped 7" vinyl. Francy is a power-pop, barn burner about an international romantic connection, accompanied by a language barrier, resulting in unrequited lust. This 2 song single finds the band blending lush, lyrical and instrumental, textures to create a sonic cocktail sure to intoxicate discerning ears.
