Gypsy Pistoleros’ epic album Church of the Pistoleros is officially out now! It is a sonic experience that transcends mere music – a rallying cry for the outcasts, the misunderstood, and the beautifully strange souls wandering the fringes of society.
“We are so, so proud of this album.” states the band. These aren’t just words. Co-written and produced by the visionary Dave Draper (known for his legendary work with Ginger, Nickleback, Mike Monroe and The Wildhearts), this album was forged in passion, blood, and creative alchemy. Draper has proclaimed it “one of the greatest albums he’s ever produced” – an opus that will echo through the annals of time. You are about to experience something biblical.
Gypsy Pistoleros don’t fit into any box, nor would they ever try. Their sound is a sacred rebellion, melding the swagger of Latin rock, 50s Spector-esque punked up ballads, glam punk, and operatic grandeur into an explosive force. From emo and goth to anthemic riffs, they defy every label. They are a genre unto themselves. This is more than music. This is a movement. A thunderous, unrelenting whirlwind that will sweep you into its orbit.
Church of the Pistoleros is available for purchase globally via Earache Records, in a grand and epic choice of bundles HERE. The album is also available in store at HMV & Indie Record stores via Cargo Records in a limited black, red and white splatter vinyl.
A exclusive Australian CD is available for purchase via Golden Robot Records online HERE and in select AU/NZ retailers.

Gypsy Pistoleros are no strangers to the rock scene. Since their formation, they have shared stages with icons such as The Ramones, Motörhead, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Poison, Ratt, ZZ Top, Papa roach and Twisted Sister, amongst many others, building a devoted following in the U.S. and U.K. alike. The band, led by Gypsy Lee Pistolero, is known for their fiery live performances and eclectic mix of sounds, which combine the raw edge of punk rock with Latin rhythms and glam rock theatrics.
In 2020, Gypsy Lee Pistolero returned to the music world after a hiatus, bringing a matured yet electrifying energy to the stage. With two successful albums under their belt since their comeback, the band is now poised to make their biggest impact yet with Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros.
