"The Pistolas 'Take It With A Kiss' single is a fantastically cool love-in between The Killers and LCD from New Yo… no, wait, Norwich. Wherever, it's an addictive floor filler that inspires young men to form bands themselves. A style rarely heard since Franz." LAUNCHPAD
“…Artrocker favourites from that wasteland of rock'n'roll that is Norwich. The Pistolas established themselves in 2006 as one of the most energetic and dynamic live bands playing the scene. Too feisty to be artpop but too melodic and crafted to play the punk scene this four-piece are a brazen blast of distorted dance artrock that takes its pointers from Ramones, Gang of Four, Valentines and Pixies without any notion of being retro. 'Listen Listen' was released on Fierce Panda last year and featured on Artrocker's 'Labels' compilation. New tracks like 'Disco Assassin' demonstrate new songwriting depth while losing none of their gritty urgency. Surely 2007 will be a great year for them…” – ARTROCKER
“…the debut single from The Pistolas is set to become an instant classic. Punky, jerky and new wavey all at once. A big favourite on the show last year…” - John Kennedy (XFM Xposure) for DAZED & CONFUSED.
“…There’s a whole lot of shaking going on. So much, the floor feels like it’s going to collapse. Why? Because the Pistolas are playing and their infectious, frantic nervous rock’n’roll makes people want to dance. Actually, scrap that - it makes people need to dance. There’s a whole host of new songs tonight – each one spinning and jerking around the band as they play. As the crowd lose control along with frontman Simon - who twitches, spins, and screams as the rest of the band maintain an air of wonderfully impassioned cool - there’s no doubt about the following fact: the best live band in London at the moment are from Norwich…” – THE FLY

Sounds Like: "The Pistolas are a punk-funk juggernaut, heirs to the throne of The Rapture and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the devious, devilish minds behind an arsenal of perfectly-formed, dancefloor-decimating songs that are currently thrilling eardrums across the UK. Art-punk heroes-in-waiting and the soundtrack to every party you’ll gatecrash in the next year"TAKE IT WITH A KISS
