Biography

They build their own amps, they record voraciously, and they are true students of rock and roll. They are Pistolero. Playing a style of music that can only be described as New American Rock, Pistolero can be compared to Spoon, Wilco, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with a touch of The Who thrown in for good
measure. While the influences are many, the music is easily accessible. You don’t have to be cooler than Pitchfork to like the style or have a PHD in physics to follow the melody. Its just music that’s easy to listen

to that grows more complex upon each listen. With five releases in the past two years, including the new
concept EP “Getting Used to Decapitation”, this five piece has proven that the music in your head can’t be allowed to stay there. Critical praise has been lavished on past releases and the trend looks to continue with the upcoming full length “Warface“. Moving easily from a rockin’ summer love song drenched in Atlanta heat and humidity, to an acoustic lullaby for the dead, Pistolero shows their versatility and song
writing prowess. After years of playing second hand amps and struggling to find that perfect sound, Pistolero started building their own equipment in early 2006 lead by guitarist and chief technician Tom Pollard . Building off the blueprints of amps like the Fender Black Face or a Sound City combo, Tom has led each member of Pistolero toward a personalized sound.
