WHO ARE P!STOL P!STOL?
These strapping, young hoodlums come from the school of hard-knocks but they don't want your tears, they want your anger and your eagerness to fight for change. Yeah, they speak loving about the dames in their life, but they also look to the future and discuss serious issues that plague the street of L.A.

I would say P!stol P!stol sounds like the Arctic Monkeys when they are having a bad day because they they realised 20 years of smoking cigarettes makes the voice a wee-bit scratchy. I think P!stol P!stol and The Neighborhood Bullys should book gigs together because they play music along the same wavelength. These guys put on a great show and they love to play music!

As stated on their web page: We are the new generation of broken homes and shattered dreams, we are as real as it gets; young, poor, influenced by this city, and disgusted with this country. Look out world were coming for ya...We are the mighty P!STOL P!STOL.

WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE P!STOL P!STOL, TOO:
***Catch on to these guys while they are young, because you don't want to be one of "those" people who becomes a fan years down the road when they are big and famous.
***They bring a rowdy crowd everywhere they go, so you might get a concert and a punch in the face, all for the price of admission.
