Gypsy Pistoleros officially return with the release of their brand new single “Dark Faerie Tales” on January 23 through The New Church Records and Plastic Head Distribution. This title track serves as the first glimpse into their upcoming full length album ‘Dark Faerie Tales’ scheduled for a worldwide release on April 17. Sonic architect Dave Draper returned to the studio to produce and co-write the material which fuses sleaze-soaked punk energy with gothic grandeur and flamenco influences. The band expands upon the twisted mythology established in their previous work to deliver a record centered on decadence and rebellion.
The group details an extensive 2026 United Kingdom tour to support the new music including a headline show at London’s The Underworld and appearances at the Rebellion Punk Festival. Fans of high theater and glam punk will encounter a ten track sequence featuring “My One Desire, Burn It Up”, “King of Almost Everything”, and “Take My Hand to Nightmare Land”. The album arrives in multiple formats including three-colour vinyl and digipak CD to accommodate all collectors of the band’s eclectic style. This collection stands as the most ambitious project in the group’s history and marks a significant step forward in their genre-defying vision.
The sheer theatrical power of the title track provides a massive opening statement for this new era of Goth ’n’ Roll. Every guitar solo and vocal snarl on the record reflects a band operating at the height of their creative power. James Kennedy & The Underdogs join the tour as special guests for a run of dates that hits clubs and festivals across the country. This project secures the position of Gypsy Pistoleros as the primary outlaws of the modern glam punk circuit.
