Afgan Whigs are pretty good I used to listen to them a lot in the mid 90s.

Their early stuff is kinda raw garagy grungy stuff but they mellowed out with each album & got more & more soulful & wrote more tuneful songs.

Gentlemen was released slap bang in the middle of their career and was their breakthrough album , so you kind of have the best of both worlds on that album , it has more energy than their later stuff but better songwriting than the early stuff. If you like that i`d highly recommend Congregation & Black Love ,which were the albums released before & after Gentlemen.
