Here's another band I know nothing about and there is surprisingly a lof of infos about the three piece from South Africa. This is partly because not many records from this part of the world made it to Europe or the USA and partly because of course the editions were very small and the bands were rather short-lived. In this case the band is called The Gents and they consisted of Kevin (vocals/guitars), Tim (bass) & Sydne B (drums) and they made one 7Inch (this one) in 1980 and an eponymous Album in 1982. Aside from this there is precious little information about this late 70's early 80's New Wave band from Durban. There are two nice songs for your ears and I think every PowerPop fan will love them. They were not invited to any comps, for whatever reason, it is probably due to the length of their songs which are way over three minutes, but that's okay. The song School Kids somehow touches me, it was a long time ago and not always pleasant. The flip is also very nice, what happened in 1917? I don't know, whatever, check out the three, they're worth it!
