Gentlemen Rogues - Francy 7" 

With the release of their latest single, Austin’s Gentlemen Rogues are back with a couple more crunchy blasts of power pop.  The title track on the A-side is the more hard hitting of the two, extremely catchy, but with a bit of a ragged punk edge.  The flipside is a cover of They Might Be Giants’ “I’ve Got A Match”, which interestingly reminds me a little of The Smoking Popes, but somehow you can still hear the quirky spirit of TMBG buried in there.  While they’ve been around for awhile Gentlemen Rogues have managed to fly under my radar, but I can assure you that won’t be the case now.
