Single review: GYPSY PISTOLEROS – Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros

Earache Records [Release date 25.10.24]

Gypsy Pistoleros are on an upward trajectory and one that is well deserved as they have certainly put their heart and soul into both many live shows, but also this new single and album of the same name (due in May next year

The single and album see Gypsy Pistoleros collaborating again with producer Dave Draper (Ginger, The Wildhearts, Nickleback, Kerbdog, Terrorvision).

The single starts with a Gypsy Pistoleros take on the Lord’s prayer, before we are off on a full-on punk rock n roll ride. Perfect lead single and definitely gets the listener wanting to here more!

Having had a sneak listen to the new album this reviewer and long time fan, can honestly say it is their best set of songs to date. ‘Shadow Walker’ features a beast of a riff and chorus, whilst ‘I am in Love with Myself’ is a glam stomping delight! But no more, as have to hold off on a full review for a bit. Suffice to say, if you love a bit of glam fuelled punk rock n roll you need to pre-order this beauty!

2025 will hopefully be the year when the Gypsy Pistoleros gain the wider recognition they deserve. Until then, lets all worship at the Church of the Pisoleros…
