What a difference a few years makes. Recall last album cycle for KOL, the former Entercom (under a previous head of alt programming, mind you) gave tepid support. Similarly Foo Fighters were prevented from having a #1 @ ALT on Medicine at Midnight 100% due to Entercom’s then opinion that certain heritage acts were passé. Now legacy acts are being enthusiastically embraced. While “the Bandit” received modest support @ KROQ, this new single will get the world premiere treatment from the chains.

Mustang is confirmed to be released at 9AM Pacific time / 5PM GMT tomorrow. They've also teased a bit more of the song on their official pages: www.youtube.com/shorts/Kegy_XpDn2o. Sounds quite good, curious to hear the rest of the song

Alternative chart about to go haywire. KOL’s first record on interscope is a major priority to label - will get world premiere later today and be added next week at most of panel. When LP arrives tomorrow, it will go right into power rotation at many stations. How fast will it get to #1? Will be fun to watch the race, especially when the last of the big February superstar releases drops next week.

Love the album title. I'm beyond ready.
Edit: As of now, this is my least favorite KOL lead, but it's still solid. I would give it a B. Are you a mustang or a kitty? What are you on about, indeed.

Great single and video!!! Sounds a bit different from everything they've made before and I enjoyed it a lot.

As someone who has never been big on KOL, I really dig this song! Perfect for radio.

Not my favorite lead from them ... picks up at the minute mark for me. I give it a B- but can see it growing on me.
Excited for the album and the tour!

I absolutely love the song as well as the style of the video, the video definitely adds a lot for me. Curious how it will fare on the radio. I think it can definitely reach a broad audience on Rock/A;ternative radio, but as we know the competition is harsh at the moment

Wow, better than anything on their last album. Hope it's a huge hit! Plus, Caleb is looking extra hot.

Can We Please Have Fun, their new album, out 5/10. YESSSSSS King Carlos!! Their last album, while solid, was probably my least favorite of theirs, but I am looking forward to this and glad they are coming to Austin proper and not...an hour away in Del Valle, where I almost got stuck back in 2021.

Not crazy about his vocal delivery at all. It gets better after the 1:30 mark, but I'm still not crazy about it.

Big KoL fan here…most underwhelming lead to date.
Maybe it will click later but this on first listen is very weak.

Don’t love this either, but hoping it will grow on me. Are you a mustang or a kitty, indeed.

Note - Capitol records is now under Interscope per dramatic restructuring announced by Universal 3 weeks ago. Same press release that announced Def Jam now being under Republic and the breadth of the global corporate changes.
Interscope records are now working Capitol radio campaigns and indeed Interscope records head of alt promotion conducted the setup and very impressive rollout of KOL @ radio. Capitol continues to exist as an imprint with its own a&r etc. Similar situation to Island radio campaigns falling under Republic.

I'm getting The Hold Steady vibes here.
I wish I liked this song more. Some of the lyrics just don't really work for me.
I am excited for the album though.

I generally like their stuff but this stinks. Feels lifeless and flat.
