GENTLEMANS PISTOLS - Hustler's Row

Retro-infused melodic groovers GENTLEMANS PISTOLS may sound reminiscent of many of the great unsung bands of the seventies, but they present their music with a completely original and organic freshness all of it’s own. Being a few releases into their career now, Nuclear Blast wanted to discover how the band has developed the sound on their forthcoming album “Hustler’s Row” and how the guys think this release differs from those previous releases.

Watch James and Bill explain all here:

Gentleman's Pistols

GENTLEMANS PISTOLS have been causing a stir on the underground for a while now with their debauched lyrics, killer melodies and general Northern rock ‘n’ roll bravado.

Speaking about the new release, James Atkinson comments:
“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

The band recently premiered their A-Team style video for the track ‘Devil’s Advocate On Call’. The video features This Is England’s Banjo aka George Newton and can be seen here:

GENTS commented on the new track and video:
“It’s a harmony laden boogie about being disillusioned. The performance was shot at Staincross Working Man’s Club just outside of Barnsley and then the other scenes were done in the surrounding area. David Pickering directed the video and did a fantastic job. It’s basically an updated take on the Sweeney and programs of that ilk in which we are wanted, much like the A-Team, for a crime that we didn’t commit.”

The track list for “Hustler’s Row” racks up as follows:

The band is set to release their groove-laden album “Hustler’s Row” on October 16th via Nuclear Blast.
