Front man Steven Douglas doubles up on mesmerisingly powerful vocals and equally impressive harmonica, while Ted Norris plays guitar, Fraser Midstokke on bass, and Cory Olsen is on drums.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their latest single, &#8216;Thinkin&#8217; And Drinkin&#8217; &#8216;, has a video which shows them drinking until they make themselves lovesick. Shot in their local hometown bar, Bert&#8217;s Tavern, and directed by AK Romero, the focus is on a gorgeous blonde woman, whose not so secret admirers are totally taken by her from the moment they see her in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The band try to control their passions by drinking some shots, and, intoxicated with both vodka and a whole lot of love, they turn their fantasy into a reality, with a friendly toast. The object of their affections accepts their invitation, and thus starts a beautiful friendship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Colossal Boss online on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colossalboss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_25930\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_EnEdFcthLs?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Colossal Boss -  Thinkin&#039; and Drinkin&#039; (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/_EnEdFcthLs\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colossal Boss is &#8216;Thinkin&#8217; And Drinkin&#8221; in their new single, with soaring guitar riffs, tight instrumentals, and raw organic vocals.
