WHO ARE KICK PISTOL?
ALTERNATIVE ROCK GOES GOTHIC...
Over the last few years, Kick Pistol has developed a hard-hitting gothic rock sound and released their single Glass Cage which got featured on national radio and has been added to the official playlists of St Albans City Football Club.
In 2024, Kick Pistol will be releasing an EP with 5 brand-new synth-inspired gothic/alternative rock songs that feature darker themes and broody lyrics, with their new single 'Downfall' which is OUT NOW!
Hailing from St Albans, the Herts/London-based 4-piece 'Kick Pistol' is what happens when you mix the energy of punk, the experimentation of alternative rock, along with the dark & gloomy melodies of gothic rock all in one package.
The band consists of Robert (Bass Guitar & Lead Vocals), Ryan (Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals), Matteo (Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals), and Jeremy (Drums). They made their first public debut in the summer of 2016 at the acclaimed annual M-Festival and have since then performed at numerous venues in London including The O2 Academy Islington, The infamous Dublin Castle in Camden, The Hope & Anchor Islington, as well as many local venues within Hertfordshire such as The Horn and The Pioneer Club.
