Unextraordinary Gentlemen

Victorian Synth-Punk Since 1887

About Me

We've created the Unextraordinary Gentlemen (UXG) to explore our love for post-punk, synth-pop, industrial & experimental music combined with the literary genre of Victorian fantasy.
"Future-Pop for Time Travelers" (sepiachord.com)
"Fantastic, on all fronts." (mickmercer.com)
"So if you're looking for something different, that adheres to the blueprints laid out by its forebears, yet keeps its own identity and ideas, look no further than "Unextraordinary Gentlemen". (postpunk.com)
"All of this melodrama comes off as delightful, candlelit theater rather than hand-stapled-to- forehead moping." (regenmag.com)
