Gasoline Lollipops

Gasoline Lollipops are a genre-blurring Americana outfit hailing from Colorado, mixing raw alt-country energy with punk-rock grit and folk storytelling. Fronted by gravel-voiced songwriter Clay Rose (son of Flying Burrito Brothers member Jonathan Eric Brown), the band formed in the mid-2000s and built a reputation for electrifying live shows that feel equal parts honky-tonk revival and rock 'n' roll exorcism. Their sound—jokingly dubbed "gothic country" or "cowpunk" by fans—pairs foot-stomping rhythms with lyrics tackling addiction, redemption, and working-class struggles, delivered with Rose’s signature whiskey-soaked intensity.

With releases like *Blood on the Bluegrass* and *Resurrection*, the GasPops (as fans call them) have become festival favorites across the American West, balancing rowdy anthems with haunting acoustic ballads. Their 2023 track *Humanity* and recent covers like *The Ghost of Tom Joad* showcase their knack for blending social commentary with unvarnished emotion. Whether they’re howling through *Smokestack Lightning* or harmonizing on *Honey I Confess*, this crew keeps dive bars and mountain-town stages vibrating with their brand of soul-stirring, dirt-road rock.
