The four ex-Stormwitch members Volker Schmietow, Tobi Kipp, Jürgen “Wanschi” Wannenwetsch and Marc Opppold, completed by vocalist Tobi Hübner, pick up where they left off. SKULL & CROSSBONES have dedicated themselves to traditional heavy metal.
“While I was a co-founder and the bassist of Stormwitch for many years, it was time for something new. After the successful album ‘Bound to the witch’, in which I was significantly involved with Volker, Tobi and Marc, we decided to start over. Skull & Crossbones was born,“ Jürgen Wannenwetsch reveals. “With our new singer Tobi Hübner came the voice and creativity that really pushed us again.
We’re all into melodic old school metal. The result is an album that we at S&C are not the only ones who are 100% convinced of. With Marc Ayerle, who is responsible for the great sound of the record, and the whole team at Massacre Records, we found the right support for Sungazer. We are excited to see where the path will lead us together with our fans.”
Tobi Hübner adds: “After the songwriting process and completing our new album “Sungazer”, I’m very happy about the deal with Massacre Records and I’m curious what our fans will have to say about our work. We’re definitely very proud of it!”

GYPSY PISTOLEROS are “The World’s Greatest Flamenco Punk Glam Rock band Ever!” They are touring throughout the year to promote the next three singles and album! They have also just signed to SD Entertainment Booking Agents (sdentertainment.co.uk).
Gypsy Pistoleros are still something utterly unique and interesting in today’s predictable musical landscape. The sound is flamenco in a head on collision with punk/rock riffs, pounding bass and thrashing drums.
The songs span madly in the best rock ‘n’ roll tradition with big hooks, attitude, and sleaze. Yet those flamenco breaks got into your head and refused to leave – this hybrid rocks.
“Duende a go go loco” the new album is going to be hailed as the band’s masterpiece; an album that brings together all facets of this unique mongrel offspring of fiery flamenco passion and gritty gutter glam Punk.
“The best album GYPSY PISTLEROS have ever made!
Gypsy Pistoleros defy the rules, born roaming somewhere between Zaragoza and Worcester, brought into the world to a soundtrack stack-heeled anthems of sleazy ‘70s Glam. Standing alone in musical ancestry and sum sound, they are one of those most rare acts who can honestly claim the tag ‘unique’.
“One of the hardest things to achieve in music – a unique sound” – Steve BeeBee Planet Rock “Gypsy Pistoleros are a thrill-a-minute collection of melodic eye-patch swagger that smells of exotic spices and forbidden concubines. The Gypsy Pistoleros sound like Hanoi Rocks, if Hanoi Rocks were sultans and snake charmers- Sleaze Grinder”- Classic Rock Magazine
“This, actually, is as good as sleaze ever got in the last decade. Gypsy Pistoleros were, and still are, a breath of fresh air. You will never hear another band like this. They are the greatest flamenco sleaze glam band ever. And that’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, listen to this.” – Paul Thorley Maximum volume music.
“Gypsy Pistoleros may be best described as being the ideal house band for the fictitious Titty Twister bar of Rodriguez’s ‘From Dusk Til Dawn’. Between the nods to Morricone’s tense, tumbleweed atmospheres and the Gypsy Kings’ manic Latin energy, a New York Dolls raw glam spark and a surplus of prime G ’n’ R attitude!” – Planet Mosh
“Another deft dose of Latin laced, Mariachi sleaze. A Day of the dead, guillotine theatre with cinematic Morricone pretensions. Contrived, preposterous, irresistible” – CLASSIC ROCK
