Gypsy Pistoleros Reveal 'Dark Faerie Tales'

Official Announcement | Published: Jan 24, 2026 3:08 PM EST

(BJF) Gypsy Pistoleros release their new single, & album title track, 'Dark Faerie Tales', out now, album out 17th April via The New Church Records, along with a music video for the track.

The world's only Glam Punk Goth 'n' Roll outlaws GYPSY PISTOLEROS return with the first taste of their most ambitious album yet. "Dark Faerie Tales", the lead single and title track from their forthcoming record, arrives January 23rd, 2026 via The New Church Records / Plastichead Distribution.

The single launches the next chapter for the cult renegades, whose last album Church of the Pistoleros was hailed as one of 2025's most fearless rock releases. With Dark Faerie Tales, the band push their genre-defying vision into darker, grander territory - a glam-goth-punk fever dream forged in their own twisted mythology.

A FAIRYTALE FOR THE DAMNED: Produced and co-written once again by sonic architect Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, Therapy?, Elvana), "Dark Faerie Tales" blends sleaze-soaked punk energy with gothic grandeur, flamenco fire, and apocalyptic glam swagger.

The track sets the tone for the full album, due April 17th, 2026 - a decadent and dangerous collection of tales for the beautiful, the broken, and the strange of heart.

The world's only Glam Punk Goth 'n' Roll outlaws return with their most ambitious and eclectic album yet - 'Dark Faerie Tales', out April 17th, 2026 on The New Church Records / Plastichead Distribution.

Available worldwide & instore on three-colour vinyl, digipak CD, and digital. Accompanied by the announcement of initial U.K 2026 Tour to back the release!

Following the success of Church of the Pistoleros - hailed as one of 2025's most fearless and eclectic rock albums - the Pistoleros have conjured something even bolder: a dark fairytale for the damned, a love letter to the beautiful and broken, and a twisted hymn for the strange of heart.

Born from the fires of their own mythology, Dark Faerie Tales drifts through haunted woods and neon dreams - where sleaze-drenched punk anthems meet gothic grandeur, and glam swagger burns with outlaw soul. Produced and co-written once again by sonic alchemist Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, Elvana, Therapy, etc), it's a record that breathes rebellion and myth.
