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.
