Gypsy Pistoleros Release New Album ‘Dark Faerie Tales’ – Out Now via The New Church Records

Welsh glam-punk-goth outlaws Gypsy Pistoleros have released their new album Dark Faerie Tales: A Fairytale for the Damned – out today via The New Church Records.

This is the band’s most dangerous, theatrical and uncompromising record yet — feral, glitter-streaked gothic punk rock with teeth.

In 2026, while much of rock music plays it safe, Gypsy Pistoleros are burning the rulebook. Drawing from the bloodlines of The Damned, Hanoi Rocks, Killing Joke, The Cult and the modern defiance of YUNGBLUD, they don’t imitate — they mutate. The result is an album that feels lived-in, earned and gloriously unhinged.

Produced and co-written by long-time collaborator Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Therapy?, Elvana), Dark Faerie Tales fuses glam-soaked punk energy with gothic grandeur, raw fire and apocalyptic swagger — a record for outsiders, believers, romantics and beautiful misfits.

As Overdrive declares: “A love letter to the beautiful and broken, a twisted hymn for the strange of heart, and proof that rock ‘n’ roll still has room for danger, drama and glitter in the dark.”

The album is available worldwide on neon purple & black splatter vinyl, neon green & black splatter vinyl, deluxe 4-panel digisleeve CD and digital.
