GYPSY PISTOLEROS' forthcoming epic absolute Killer album, 'Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros!', has been recorded once again with the help of legendary collaborator and producer Dave Draper (known for his work with Ginger, The Wildhearts, Nickleback, Kerbdog, Ryan Hamilton, Terrorvision, and more).
They worked on it together in the Old Cider Press Studios in Pershore. In fact, Dave Draper himself described it as a "fukkin monster" and one of the best albums he's ever worked on.
The new album is an epic masterpiece that combines anthemic rock songs with Latin swagger, Phil Spector-inspired ballads from the 50s, pure glam punk rock tracks, and even touches of EMO and goth music. It is a truly unique album that has elements of pompousness and over-the-top theatrics.
Some might even say it's the greatest rock album in decades!
GYPSY PISTOLEROS may be the saviours of Rock Music!

About
CHURCH OF THE PISTOLEROS
'Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros, Come and take my hand all you Beautiful Weirdos!'
GYPSY PISTOLEROS the Renegade Glam Punk Rock enigmas are preposterous, epic, overblown and totally glorious! The music ranges from anthemic Rock, to Latin swagger, to Phil Spector 50's ballads, to pure Glam Punk Rock, to near EMO & Goth with absolute slabs of the purest Heaviest Rock to near Rock Opera proportions.
They are unique!
They are pompous, overblown, totally out there.

They have reinvented themselves, bringing Eclectic Glam Punk Rock n Roll to the masses. Their new album 'Duende a Go Go Loco!' captures an edgier, punkier and heavier side of Gypsy Pistoleros, whilst retaining the Latin heart and fully embracing their fiery passion, staying true to their distinctive crossover of punk rock 'n' roll leanings!

"High Energy Flamenco Punk with a sleek Metallic edge...a riotous and exhuberent album that could start a party in a morgue!" Gus Ironside Vive Le Rock
"It's difficult not to wax lyrical about each and every track on the album as the band truly deliver the goods on each and every song.
This is a belter. A British band with a truly international flavour playing the sort of music Tyla and Michael Monroe would be proud to say they helped create. Superb! " Reviewed by: Adrian Hextall MyGlobalMind Score: 9/10
Gypsy Pistoleros are unique, completely unique.
Never have I heard such a blend of styles merge so successfully that you'd struggle to label it (don't bother trying) but the album is absolute killer, high energy, high octane, pedal to the metal all the way. You're in for one hell of a ride and an absolute blast. - Karen Clayton Get Ready to Rock
"let's end by being deadly serious. The world's finest sleazy flamenco band might be a small selection, but it's the Gypsy Pistoleros. They are utterly magnificent, and so is this. As bonkers as it is!
Score 9/10 Review by : Andy Thorley Maximum Volume Music
. If you want something that's entertaining, and yet madness personified, Duende A Go Go Loco is for you." Mark Cartwright The Punksite
"Summing up, after one listen, this is an album that will blow you away, most definitely." 4.5 out of 5 REVIEWED BY GUMUG EDITOR - Steve Johnson
"When a band is self-sufficient, original and plagiarizing, daring and comical, shameless and proud to call themselves: THE GREATEST FLAMENCO PUNK GLAM BAND EVER... everything has already been said. From 0 to 100% any grade works: 85% to say the least...but if you're Punk give it a 100%. -
