The glam-punk-goth band Gypsy Pistoleros has unveiled their new single 'Dark Faerie Tales', the title track from their forthcoming album set for release on April 17, 2026, via The New Church Records. The single drops on January 23, 2026, following the success of their 2025 album Church of the Pistoleros. Produced by Dave Draper, the track blends punk energy with gothic and flamenco elements.
Gypsy Pistoleros, known as the world's only glam punk goth 'n' roll outlaws, are pushing their genre-defying sound into darker territory with their new album Dark Faerie Tales. The project builds on the acclaim of their previous release, Church of the Pistoleros, which was praised as one of 2025's most fearless rock albums. The title track single, arriving January 23, 2026, was produced and co-written by Dave Draper, who has worked with artists including Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, Therapy?, and Elvana.
The album, due April 17, 2026, will be available worldwide on three-color vinyl, digipak CD, and digital formats through The New Church Records and Plastichead Distribution. It features 10 tracks: Dark Faerie Tales, My One Desire, Burn It Up, King of Almost Everything, She’s Getting Stranger, Take My Hand to Nightmare Land, Behind The Mask, Prince of the Damned, Rattling, I Whisper Goodbye, and The Ghost of Baby Strange. Described as a glam-goth-punk fever dream, the record draws from the band's twisted mythology, mixing sleaze-soaked punk with gothic grandeur and flamenco fire.
To promote the release, Gypsy Pistoleros will launch a UK tour starting April 11, 2026, at The Band Club in St Austell. Key dates include April 16 at The Underworld in London with special guests SLADY, Continental Lovers, and Bai Bang; April 17 in Worcester; and further stops in Pontypool, Newcastle, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, and more, culminating in festivals like Beltane Gathering and Rebellion Punk Festival in August. The band, consisting of Gypsy Lee Pistolero on vocals, Kerry Pistolero White on bass and backing vocals, Shane Pistolero Sparkz on guitar and backing vocals, and Chris Pistolero Hopton on drums, promises immersive live shows blending gothic theatre and rock spectacle, appealing to fans of Alice Cooper, YUNGBLUD, GHOST, The Cult, The Damned, Hanoi Rocks, and Killing Joke.
