Gypsy’s Kiss, the band at the very top of the ‘Iron Maiden Family Tree’ are set to release their much anticipated third album ‘Piece By Piece’
Founder member David Smith says, “We are immensely proud of this album (Piece by Piece), and we believe that we have added more depth and variety to both our songwriting and recordings. This album demonstrates where we are now in 2025, but with a nod to our classic rock and metal roots.”
Recorded at Pearce’s Farm Studios, Wokingham between May 2023 and May 2025, Engineered and mixed by Ian Turner and produced by Ian Turner and Gypsy’s Kiss.
Gypsy’s Kiss celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2024 having been formed in East London in 1974 by David Smith & Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris and they sit proudly atop the ‘Iron Maiden Family Tree’.
Reformed by David in 2018, this ‘hard rocking band’ have previously released 7 singles and 2 critically acclaimed albums. Although their strength and passion equally remain in live performance. They have gigged extensively over the past few years playing venues and festivals throughout the UK and Europe (including a tour with Maiden’s Paul Di’Anno and gigs with Praying Mantis and Blaze Bayley).
