Biography
We’re No Gentlemen is an emo/alternative rock band from Long Beach, California, with independent releases as well as music on Blast Stage Records and Pacific Ridge Records. Drummer Vince Gudino founded the band to create a high-energy rock act with female-fronted flair, and his vision came together when he met front-woman Amanda Gabel. The lineup is completed by music industry veteran Danny Knapp on bass, who joined in 2019, and guitarist Sammy Adven, who played in an early incarnation of the band and rejoined in 2026. Former guitarists include Dan Schiz, who went on to join Powerman 5000, and Alex Messano, who played with the band from 2021 to 2026.
2025 brought “Beautifully Broken,” a single released worldwide on Blast Stage Records alongside a music video. “Suffocating” continues that run, with its official music video on October 26, 2026 and the single on December 4, 2026. Earlier releases include the self-titled debut EP and its first video, “Mirror, Mirror,” which brought the band fans from all over the world and praise from professionals on the LA scene, and “Night,” a rock ballad with a darker, more mature sound. This is Home came with “Promises,” an angst-ridden, catchy sing-along anthem, and Heartbeat/Heartbreak, their third studio EP, followed in early May 2020 with a lyric video for “Queen of the Misfits,” an anthem for fans who proudly call themselves ‘misfits.’ In April 2021, their cover of New Found Glory’s “Vicious Love” appeared on A Tribute To New Found Glory, released by Pacific Ridge Records.
The band quickly gained traction on LA’s live music scene, with stages including The Viper Room and a residency at the Whisky A Go-Go. In 2017, a childhood dream came true when they played Warped Tour in Las Vegas. They have opened for Dead Girls Academy, September Mourning, and The Butcher Babies, and have played shows with acts such as Escape the Fate and Iron Maidens. Through the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, they kept writing in the studio and played online streaming events. The band continues to perform live and is always writing new songs.
