Metallers GENTLEMANS PISTOLS are going to release their third studio album via Nuclear Blast on October 16th. “ “Hustler’s Row” is a cathartic journey through the last five years of my life. The album begins with questions of where my life is going and ends with me heading straight down »Hustler’s Row«; on a turbulent voyage of the sweetest sufferings and the most inexpensive of thrills,“ says vocalist and guitarist James Atkinson. “The artwork is by John Pearson and it encapsulates everything I put across in the title track, that “Hustler’s Row” is a place for freaks, losers, lovers and those searching for something more from life. So we invite you to join us on the “Row”…“
The artwork shows a grisly dystopian vision of a British street, overflowing with violence, gloom and insanity. Rabid dogs and Hitchcock-esque ominous birds loom over the flailing limbs and blood red lettering spelling out “Hustler’s Row”.
“Our old guitarist, Chris Rogers, lived on a street called “Hustler’s Row” in Leeds…,” comments Atkinson. “…it’s actually a really nice place, but to me, the name evoked an image of a place of desolation and despair, so the lyrics I wrote have no connection to that street at all. It was Bill that thought it would make a good album title and it seemed to make sense as it is the final song on the album too.”
