Leeds based riffers GENTLEMANS PISTOLS have been causing a stir on the underground for a while now with their debauched lyrics, melodic groove and general Yorkshire rock 'n' roll swagger.
Formed as a three-piece back in 2003, the band has gone through a variety of line-up changes throughout their career and have now stabilized as a four-piece and are prepared to unleash their magnum opus through Nuclear Blast this autumn.
The band comments:
“GENTLEMANS PISTOLS are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of their third album, »Hustlers Row«, on Nuclear Blast. The album was recorded by singer/guitarist James Atkinson at Mutiny Studios in Bradford and reflects nearly five years of experience for the band: good times, bad times, boredom, exhilaration, heartache, frustration and wonder.
With this album, we tried to make a record that we would want to listen to; one that was heavy but melodic, intense but catchy, thoughtful but unruly. A record for reprobates and romantics, for gentlemen and hustlers.ˮ
GENTLEMANS PISTOLS‘ last album »At Her Majesty's Pleasure« was released to great acclaim in 2011, the band have performed at UK and international festivals such as Desertfest, Hammerfest, Long Division and Fuji Rock festival in Japan previously toured with the likes of WITCHCRAFT, LEAF HOUND and PENTAGRAM.
