"The Atlanta boys have created a great group of ragged jagged melodies full of melody and passion." - Al Kaufman, AMG (2009)-------------------------------------
"On its new album, the quartet shifts from bleary indie post-folk to Velvet Underground-inspired NYC pre-punk to garage pop and even banjo-enhanced country/roots music, all within about a half-hour of self-composed material." - Hal Horowitz, The Sunday Paper (2009)-----------------------------------------------
"As soon as the first chord is struck, a sort of energy erupts that carries through till the last note. Their songs are as much Kinks-esque pop as they are full-on rock, and their fervor towards it all falls from the stage into the audience..."
-Holly Lang, Pine Magazine (2008)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Pistolero accomplishes what others heartily attempt: that is successfully crossing several genres and doing it well,” - Lauren Begnaud, Performer Magazine (2006).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Atlanta five some cranks out guitar based pop-rock that's as informed by the mid 80's as the mid 60's." – Jeff Clark, Stomp and Stammer (2007)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“This three-song CD from Atlanta-based Pistolero is a short but sweet trek through off-center garage rock and psychedelic balladry,” - Jon Dawson, Performer Magazine (2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“With tracks drawing audible inspiration from The Kinks ("A Warrior's Feet") to The Velvet Underground ("This Means War"), The Last Fiore garnered praise for its unique blending of British-invasion consciousness and modern pop-rock sensibility." - Kat Amano, Performer Magazine (2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's all straight-ahead rock 'n' roll, but the precise sound varies from song to song; some psych out like the Kinks, while others smoke like popular indie group Kings of Leon. At its very best, Pistolero displays its distorted, rusted-out influences like a badge. The dirtier they get, the better." - Star News Wilmington (2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proof is in their self-released debut album, 2006’s The Last Fiore (3Bullets Records), which is jammed full with the ol’ spirit. The leading element of ’66-era garage rock is not to be denied at any moment, but as it moves, they’re also found brandishing pecks of late ‘70s powerpop and mid ‘80s indie rock without so much as a tap of jive-y force." - Encore Magazine (2007)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Indie rock loaded in the chamber of a six shooter." - Ryan Kitchens (Music Director, WUSC-FM)
