“Midnight Dance” - another fresh tune on “Nightmares” - is a somber waltz where Rose expresses his concern with the unrelenting chaos that plagued the world in 2020. While the act of staying clean is always a constant for Rose, so is the power and deliverance he finds in music. It’s like I don’t realize I’ve drank until I’m drunk.” “Very rarely is it a premeditated, planned-out thing. “I’ve relapsed enough times to know that it always catches me by surprise,” Rose said. Rose - a husband and father of a 3-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son - has always been forthcoming about his ongoing struggle with substances, a battle he recognizes is one of permanence. And It’s unnerving, especially when I have so much more to lose now than I did then.” “Especially during stressful anxiety-ridden times when I’m not 100 percent staying on top of my spiritual game, I start resembling my old self in a lot of ways, even without the booze and drugs. “’Nightmares’ is an ongoing experience that I have had ever since I got sober,” Rose said. “Nightmares,” the new album by Gasoline Lollipops, features three new songs and seven reworked favorites. The title song is a well-crafted, compelling and personal account of Rose keeping his demons at bay at a time when stages remained empty, violence and racial tensions filled the streets, a global health crisis rocked the world and boredom permeated.
“Nightmares” includes seven GasPops favorites and three new tracks. Rose and crew have emerged from the lulls of COVID-blues fatigue with a new album. The coronavirus pandemic put tours on hold and forced musicians to look elsewhere for funds and performance highs. King, Rod Stewart and Arcade Fire, among others, have laid down tracks. Right before the 2020 lockdown, Gasoline Lollipops were set to hit the road in support of the band’s release “All the Misery Money Can Buy,” an 11-track album recorded at Louisiana’s iconic Dockside Studio - where B.B. “It started out as sloppy and rough as a band could possibly start out, like a punkabilly duo, just electric guitar and drums - just off the rails.” “The band is just getting so refined,” Rose said.
