Michael F. A rock solid slab of pop--punk perfection sans nasal whine, THE GENTLEMEN THIEVES offer up a wealth of ace melodies and a boatload of depth rather than the verse-chorus-verse formula. I would love to hear more from these guys. Their work with an Ex-Sum 41 dude shows; there's polish yet a dash of grit. This is truly great stuff... Not to be missed for any self-deprecating pop-punk fan... Favorite track: Fading Echo.

Don't Worry 03:39
Written by Ken Taylor She was waiting for him at the door The sand kicks off his boots As he makes his way past her He Couldn't leave her faster He's got good posture, ready for the kill He's got her wanting to make him meals Wrapped around his finger, souls intertwined Is what she thinks when he's on her mind I'm standing on a pier She's wasting away her years Don't worry, he will be sorry And I will climb up to the top I can be your hero It'll never be enough Oh no, I know what we're fighting for I think that we need to explore Shut down that kid on the dancefloor Because I'm standing on a pier because She's wasting away her years Don't worry, he will be sorry And I will climb up to the top I can be your hero It will never be enough WOAH It will never be enough Don't worry, he will be sorry And I will climb up to the top I can be your hero It'll never be enough Don’t worry He will be sorry Don’t worry Don’t worry He will be sorry Don’t worry

Written by Ken Taylor A tattoo added on his back Body art makes her go numb Body art makes her go numb It makes him groan, these angry bones As it fills his pride and takes him even higher He hopes that this could be for real But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me She has golden locks of hair Shining through the morning sun Shining through the morning sun I’d like to mean it when I have to I’d think to show it when I know you Darkness brings me fear As we go on we start to argue I think I’ll escape, but I found you her heart’s covered in tears But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me You don’t own me Hey Now where did you go? Hey I can’t see you Hey Even through two blackened eyes But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you even through two blackened eyes Wait, now wait I can’t see you! Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me

Fading Echo 03:58
Written by Ken Taylor He's in a shower with wine Clothes wet, he's starting to shine He's pouring over his health Or how he's wishing for wealth A most peculiar gift He's made his one dying wish His mind is cluttered and stained This man will not stay the same He shunned himself from the world Put down, rejected by girls A bottle opens tomorrow To drown himself in his sorrows Degrading his mental mind We think he's wasting his time We know he's better than this Sometimes the point can be missed You are better than this Go out and seek your own help Or listen to someone else You are better than this Quit hiding in the shadows Bowed head, a fading echo Thoughts are falling behind Support cannot save this time He needs a shoulder to lean on His legs are weak with burden He craves just one more kiss Remembers both of their bliss When they would hold each other She's gonna find another You are better than this Go out and seek your own help Or listen to someone else You are better than this Quit hiding in the shadows Bowed head, a fading echo Don’t be a fading echo Don’t be a fading echo You are better than this Don’t be a fading echo Don’t be a fading echooooo ohhh ohhh oohhh You are better than this He's in a shower with wine Clothes wet, he's starting to shine He's pouring over his health Or how he's wishing for wealth A most peculiar gift He's made his one dying wish His mind is cluttered and stained This man will not stay the same You are better than this Go out and seek your own help Or listen to someone else You are better than this Quit hiding in the shadows Bowed head, a fading echo You are better than this You are better than this Quit hiding in the shadows Bowed head a fading echo

Kathleen 03:02
Written by Ken Taylor Kathleen You keep me awake from my dreams As I try to keep my eyes shut I feel like I have had enough Kathleen You take away the breath from me You have me tied up to your front porch And I’m begging at your door I keep shaking Pushed into a habit My mind is slowly breaking When I cannot have it I keep shaking Pushed into a habit My mind is slowly breaking When I cannot have it so You know you know you know You know I want one more When you leave me I won’t forget it You are the one thing that keeps me awake in my mind You deceive me, I won’t regret it I feel like my brain will shut off and then I’ll die Kathleen You keep the love between the sheets As I roll onto the floor I crawl back in and I’m craving more Kathleen You fuel my daily ecstasy As I start to drain, yeah You pick me up and I feel no pain I keep shaking Pushed into a habit My mind is slowly breaking When I cannot have it I keep shaking Pushed into a habit My mind is slowly breaking When I cannot have it so You know you know you know You know I want some more When you leave me I won’t forget it You are the one thing that keeps me awake in my mind You deceive me, I won’t regret it I feel like my brain will shut off and then I’ll die Let’s GO! Ok I guess, I took in more than I needed Well, I lost it – I know, that I have acted conceited When I stumble and fall, you held me up tall You took things for granted, you stayed through it all Ok, I guess I took in more than I needed When you leave me I won’t forget it You are the one thing that keeps me awake in my mind You deceive me, I won’t regret it I feel like my brain will shut off and then I’ll die When you leave me You are the one thing that keeps me awake in my mind I wont forget it I feel like my brain will shut off and then I’ll die

Written by Ken Taylor I don’t know how I’m gonna shake this feeling My nervous system is working overtime The autumn leaves are changing and they’re gonna croak And break off from the sky And when they fall, we don’t care where they’re gonna land I know that I caught your eye Some people just don’t get what it is to be loved It’s a gift that’s inside that is sent from above So please don’t hurt me I gave you my heart So please don’t hurt me (So please don’t hurt me) I gave you my heart oh please don’t hurt me The autumn leaves are changing and they’re gonna croak And break off from the sky And when they fall, we don’t care where they’re gonna land I know that I caught your eye So please don’t hurt me I gave you my heart So please don’t hurt me (so please don’t hurt me) I gave you my heart I don’t know how I’m gonna shake this feeling I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know how to shake this I don’t know how to shake this I don’t know how to change this The autumn leaves are changing and they’re gonna croak And break off from the sky And when they fall, we don’t care where they’re gonna land I know that I caught your eye So please don’t hurt me (so please don’t hurt me) I gave you my heart So please don’t hurt me (so please don’t hurt me)

Figure Out 03:08
Written by Ken Taylor I can feel the fingers on my neck They’re closing in to stop the breathing Can you help me out I’m tired of being back lined Help me figure out I get mad when being contested I’ll recompose so that I don’t miss it Can you help me out I’m sitting on the sidelines Help me figure out I don’t care if I get a hideaway I don’t need a place to stay I am unemotive And I’m complicated And I’m dressed up for that night Can’t take it back cause I know I’m not ready and I Put on a sweater cause the weather is heavy I was moved by the change of the breeze so I wrote you a song to save you and me No hate, pro change, I’m liking this Keep it going, don’t stop, cause I’m loving this Can you help me out I’m tired of being back lined Help me figure out I hold it in to maintain my composure Ask me those questions, and I’ll tell you I’m not sure Can you help me out I’m sitting on the sidelines Help me figure out I don’t even care How successful you are without me You give an evil stare No matter what, I know you need me I’ve been trying to find a way The demons chasing me have found a way to ensnare my heart Whispers tear me apart Let it go Let it go I have to know I have to know Let it go Let it go I have to know I have to know This is my “Plan A” Not my “Plan B” How about some empathy There wasn’t much for me Give me a reason why you hate me Give me a reason why you hate what got this started No hate, pro change I’m liking this Keep it going, don’t stop because I’m loving this Can you help me out Just sitting on the sidelines Help me figure out

Written by Ken Taylor, David Huzyk and Jake Saunders I’m hanging on the edge My fingers are bleeding The kids are laughing and throwing stones I can’t find my scene Give up, the party’s over Just move on with your life Over saturation from an apathetic nation Well it wouldn’t be a struggle without the strife I try so desperately to keep integrity intact You can hold me tall Or you can watch me fall Just like the Berlin Wall You tried to succumb to an ultimate defeat Over exposure My mind’s receding Now tell me, where is my closure? Was it on the TV? Explode, our voices growing Change is on its way It may not be tomorrow But everything that’s hollow Will eventually crumble and fade away We try so desperately to keep integrity intact you can hold me tall Or you can watch me fall Just like the Berlin Wall You tried to succumb to an ultimate defeat And if you think we’ve given up, well guess what, we’re not HELP ME UP AND WATCH ME FALL GO!

Written by Ken Taylor A creepy crawling insect Moving across my carpet With one leap, he is left behind Somebody tell me which way to fly to fly The mystery shines in your eyes Please tell me off, I dare you to How dare you, how dare you Please help me up, it turns out that I need you It’s what she was proven to do The whispering voice is so soft I can feel the hot wind in my ear And I feel you move right through me I’m a little lost but not ready to die To die I suck it up and start to cry Please tell me off, I dare you to How dare you, how dare you Please help me up, it turns out that I need you It’s what she was proven to do The well is poisoned with strychnine Now I’m blind I’ll look to the past and let it pass by Please help me up, it turns out that I need you How dare you, how dare you Please tell me off, I dare you to It’s what she was proven to do GO

Why Even Try 02:48
Written by Ken Taylor He works 9-5 everyday A shallow existence to his dismay He’s building a future while he’s losing hope And how could he phrase that void That’s held in his apartment He’s climbing this escarpment Another uphill battle today Why even try if the industry’s absurd And why even write another broken verse I’m building a family but playing with passion I could sacrifice all I’ve got I’ll tie my fingers into a knot I’ll hang up the guitar and I won’t sing I could put on a spiffy suit I’m looking sharp I’m taking cues I’d rather tie my tie into a noose Why even try if the industry’s absurd And why even write another broken verse I’m building a family but playing with passion I’m playing with passion I’m building a family, but playing with passion I’m signing the contracts, I’m raking the cash in I’m selling out stadiums, if you could imagine I’m over a hill looking down from my mansion Everyone’s leaving, my ego is growing Load in the décor, and get the champagne flowing A shallow existence, for a pessimistic Person who has lost all for the stuff that he’s been given Why even try if the industry’s absurd why even write another broken verse I’m building a family but playing with passion I’m building a family but playing with passion I’m building a family but that’s all that matters But that’s all that matters

Sick of Me 02:55
Written by Ken Taylor We’re growing up Now she says that she’s had enough She’s making music She’s going for the fans to fill up the grandstands We’re growing up Oh no, I think I’m trapped with a Problem, I can’t seem to get out of This one, we’ll try this time We’re stepping further from the line I have seen you Sing on the TV I know that you Are just so sick of me What can I do now When you’re so sick of You’re sick of me right now I’m freaking out Please help me, can you hear me out? I’m going crazy I’ll stick with the rhythms, I can’t seem to stick ‘em I’m freaking out Oh no, I think I’m trapped with a Problem, I can’t seem to get out of This one, we’ll try this time We’re stepping further from the line I have seen you Sing on the TV I know that you Are just so sick of me What can I do now When you’re so sick of Sick of me right now GO I can never reach You’ll never get her I can never reach You’ll never get her WHEN YOU’RE SO SICK OF ME

Capsized 04:15
Written by Ken Taylor All I know is just one thing You won’t leave my side Have I hurt you You look so sad tonight I’ll brighten your face and lift up your day With each tidal wave we slowly evade Cast out the bad dreams, life is not what it seems Let us drift away on these stormy seas Hope I won’t go changing No, I won’t go chasing Hope I won’t go changing (I won’t go changing) No, I won’t go chasing And as our vessel falls under we will sing: “Oh, holy ghost, come and fill my soul we’ll sail away into the undertow save this ship, so then we will not drown” I know that this is getting complicated I feel that something’s missing, I’m frustrated I know that sooner or later I will break the point Help, I’m just beneath the surface Pull me up to prove that I am worth this Help, I’m just beneath the surface Pull me up to prove that I am worth this I won’t go changing (I won’t go changing) No, I won’t go chasing And as our vessel falls under we will sing: “Oh, holy ghost, come and fill my soul we’ll sail away into the undertow save this ship, so then we will not drown” All I’ve ever wanted in a girl is you All I’ve ever wanted in a girl is you All I’ve ever wanted in a girl is you and you are mine “Oh, holy ghost, come and fill my soul we’ll sail away into the undertow save this ship, so then we will not drown “Oh, holy ghost, come and fill my soul we’ll sail away into the undertow save this ship, so then we will not drown” All I’ve ever wanted in a girl is you, and you are mine.

"Uncertainties" marks the explosive debut album from The Gentlemen Thieves. Over the course of two years, the band has been working with Dave Baksh (ex-SUM41, Organ Thieves, Black Cat Attack) to create an album that fully encompased what the band was all about. The title derives from the lyrical content, which touches on the uncertainties one may have in life - whether a relationship, profession or one's self.
