GENTLEMEN ROGUES – A HISTORY SO REPEATING

Following on the heels of 2013s self-titled debut EP, Austin’s Gentlemen Rogues are back with A History So Repeating: six songs of chiming, pulsing guitar pop, hooky as hell and proof that this four-piece knows its way around a melody and a fuzzbox. Their new EP packs the usual Gentlemen Rogues punch, but also finds the band – guitarist/vocalist Danny Dunlap, guitarist/vocalist Cordon Simons, bassist Brandon Tucker, and drummer Josh Power – venturing into shoegaze and folk, and even exploring synthpop territory with a cover of Erasures “A Little Respect.” A History So Repeating is the sound of a band bursting with ideas and influences, moving forward with shark-like necessity.
