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 & in-store on three-colour vinyl, digipak CD, and digital. Accompanied by the announcement of initial UK 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.
The first single and video: ‘Dark Faerie Tales‘ will be released late January 2026. The album will be released on April 17th, 2026.

Dark Faerie Tales – From Myth to Magic
Once upon a twisted dusk, in a desert where gods had lost their names, stood the Church of the Pistoleros — built from shattered guitars, broken hearts, and outlaw fire. It burned… but from the ashes rose a new cult, born of chaos and dreaming in half-remembered hymns.
Now, Gypsy Pistoleros sing under starlight in tangled woods where belief is rhythm, glitter, and spellwork — legends in apocalyptic fur, crowned in scars, howling at the dark.
The ‘Dark Faerie Tales‘ begin — April 16th, 2026 at The Underworld, London. Press Launch!
