Pistol Grip
Pistol Grip, a raucous street punk band hailing from the energetic streets of Los Angeles, California, burst onto the punk scene in the late 1990s. Emblematic of the revival of street punk, their music is a fierce blend of aggressive lyrics, fast-paced rhythms, and a defiant punk ethos that recalls the spirit of 1970s punk. The band quickly gained notoriety for their explosive live performances and politically charged messages, encapsulating the frustration and voice of a disenfranchised generation.
Their debut album, "The Shots from the Kalico Rose," released in 2001, is hailed as a cornerstone of modern street punk, with anthems that are both anthemic and confrontational. Pistol Grip's sound is characterized by its sharp guitar riffs, relentless drumming, and the gruff, commanding vocals that challenge societal norms and injustices. Throughout their career, they've maintained a significant cult following, influencing a new wave of punk bands and continually resonating with fans across the globe, old and new. Their contributions to the punk scene are marked by a genuine adherence to punk's roots while invigorating the genre with their unique, fiery energy.
