Austin rockers Gentlemen Rogues have launched the music video for new single “Never The Bride.”
The single can be found on the quartet's LP, Surface Noise. Vocalist Danny Dunlap explains the video:
“Although that specific subject matter can be alienating to a lot of people, I think the sentiment that's being expressed in the song is applicable to any artistic or creative pursuit. In short, ‘Never the Bride' is about feeling underappreciated. It's about frustration. It's about feeling as though your creative pursuits are never going to go anywhere, despite giving them what feels like a Herculean effort. The lyric, “We decorate silence with hits almost sure to miss” kinda sums up the defeatist narrative.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed's musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he's self-aware, amirite?
