**PEARL HANDLED REVOLVER are a Bedford based blues-rock four piece producing a wonderfully rich soundscape of blues rock with overtones of Floydesque psychedelica and Hammond organ retro rock overlaid with great throaty vocals.

Since their arrival on the music scene they have not only built a strong local and wider following but signed a deal with US-based King Mojo Records, released their first two albums ‘Colossus’ and ‘This Mountain Waits’ to critical acclaim and have just released their eagerly anticipated third album 'If The Devil Cast His Net' in April 2016 to positive press and media reviews. Named as one of the ‘Best New UK Bands Of 2013’ by Classic Rock magazine, Pearl Handled Revolver have continued to develop their following, playing with passion and with heart and on stage they deliver exhilarating, psychedelic live performances.

*Pearl Handled Revolver are one of those bands that move you. They do this with their music, with their stage presence and by injecting a little bit of magic into proceedings. Today at Cambridge Rock Festival the four piece entranced us with their own unique brand of heavy blues psychedelia putting in a powerful set that included tracks from second album 'This Mountain Waits' and some new tracks from the forthcoming, as yet unnamed album. This was an hour of blissful sexy grooves, of gloriously dirty riffs and immaculate heavy rhythms. There was a real maturity and coherence to the performance yet it still felt loose, wild and abandoned - Liz Medhurst - ‘Metal Talk’

You can tell PHR are hard to categorise by the mere fact that they've been given the thumbs up by figures as diverse as Wilko Johnson and the late Jon Lord. With this insistent electric piano and whispered vocal, this standout from their second album sounds like some half-remembered dream you had about Tom Waits fronting The Doors. Creepy, groovy and utterly infectious. – Classic Rock - ‘Rattle Your Bones’ - Cover CD track *
