GENTLEMANS PISTOLS Featuring CARCASS's Bill Steer Release Music Video For “Devil's Advocate On Call”

Retro-infused melodic groovers Gentlemans Pistols may sound reminiscent of many of the great unsung bands of the seventies, but they present their music with a completely original and organic freshness all of it’s own. This is evident in a new track that the band have just revealed online in the form of an official video. Watch and listen to “Devil’s Advocate On Call” below.

Fans of the Shane Meadows British drama This Is England should recognize the knife-wielding moustachioed Banjo playing a lead in the video too! Actor George Newton appears as the hard man who is hunting down the band.

Gents commented on the new track: "It's a harmony laden boogie about being disillusioned. The performance was shot at Staincross Working Man's Club just outside of Barnsley and then the other scenes were done in the surrounding area. David Pickering directed the video and did a fantastic job. It's basically an updated take on the Sweeney and programs of that ilk in which we are wanted, much like the A-Team, for a crime that we didn't commit."

“Hustler's Row is a cathartic journey through the last five years of my life. The album begins with questions of where my life is going and ends with me heading straight down Hustler's Row; on a turbulent voyage of the sweetest sufferings and the most inexpensive of thrills,“ says vocalist and guitarist James Atkinson on Gentlemans Pistols' third album, released worldwide via Nuclear Blast on October 16th.

“The artwork is by John Pearson and it encapsulates everything I put across in the title track, that Hustler's Row is a place for freaks, losers, lovers and those searching for something more from life. So we invite you to join us on the Row…”

The artwork shows a grisly dystopian vision of a British street, overflowing with violence, gloom and insanity. Rabid dogs and Hitchcock-esque ominous birds loom over the flailing limbs and blood red lettering spelling out Hustler's Row.

“Our old guitarist, Chris Rogers, lived on a street called Hustler's Row in Leeds”, comments Atkinson. “It's actually a really nice place, but to me, the name evoked an image of a place of desolation and despair, so the lyrics I wrote have no connection to that street at all. It was Bill (Steer - Carcass) that thought it would make a good album title and it seemed to make sense as it is the final song on the album too.”
