In a shock announcement, Gypsy Pistoleros has officially withdrawn sales of their Church Of The Pistoleros‘ album from Earache Records webstore and its distribution network.
According to the band: “Our latest album, Church Of The Pistoleros, outsold many of the records that did chart — including our own previous charting release. Three times over — yet due to a catastrophic breakdown in the submission process, and an industry ruling that denied our physical sales retroactive validation, our rightful place on the UK Album Chart was wiped out.”
In an attempt to counter this, the band has established its own The New Church Records label, and plan to issue Church Of The Pistoleros
worldwide themselves, distributed globally via Plastic Head Music — D2C, in-store, and digital, plus special limited repressings of The Mescalito Vampires and Duende A Go Go Loco, vinyl and CDs will be released all via PHD too
“This isn’t just a label. It’s a movement. It’s rebellion wrapped in glitter, soaked in wine, and dripping in gasoline. It’s a place for the misfits, the too-loud, the never-quite-right. It’s a black mass for the broken. It’s a middle finger to the machine that tried to mute us. And it begins now.
We’re going next level. And if you’re reading this? You’re already one of us,” said the band.
Continuing they noted: We’ve officially joined forces with Jay Shredder (SLL Studios) as manager— a visionary, a fire starter, a true believer. He now leads Gypsy Pistoleros into this next era — with purpose, with power, with no apologies. The band has tour dates lined up
