Colorado-based band Gasoline Lollipops combines the sincerity of dirt-floor folk with the energy and rebelliousness of punk. It's an all-new incarnation of alt-country that’s high-energy and heartfelt, just like the American highway's soundtrack. This year marked the release of the GasPops' debut full-length album, Resurrection, and the band’s first-ever vinyl release, Soul Mine, will be released at the Fox Theatre in Boulder on Saturday, December 16. Today, the sextet premiere a new track, "Mustangs," a scorching blues-tinged punk country rocker that sounds especially good turned up to ten as you drive down the open road.
​
The band had this to say about the raucous track, "The track "Mustangs" from the upcoming Gasoline Lollipops album Soul Mine is a debaucherous road trip through the dirty South, as heard through the driving pandemonium of a GasPops engine. Robert Louis Cole, who traveled the South on a one-car tour with Gasoline Lollipops frontman Clay Rose a few years ago, wrote "Mustangs" as a sparse acoustic blues and we're honored to give it a rollicking full-band treatment on Soul Mine. Somewhere between Hunter Thompson and Muddy Waters, "Mustangs" is one of our most fun songs to perform live, and we had a particularly good time playing it at Red Rocks a few months ago. "
