Country duo LOCASH huddled up with a famous family of football lovers for a rowdy new track, looking for a “big hit” on “Cloud of Dust.”

Teaming up with the Gronkowski brothers — Chris, Dan, Glenn, Gordie and Rob Gronkowski, the Super Bowl champion tight end who now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — LOCASH’s Preston Brust and Chris Lucas honed in on the brothers’ reputation for hard partying. The whole group wrote “Cloud of Dust” together during a recent National Tequila Day hangout, and that ought to give listeners a clue as to its boozy tone. The beer chugging blast of muscle country is all about going small town crazy on a Friday night, full of references to the Gronkowski’s home town and featuring an edgy, hard twang sound.

“I’m not sure there is a group of brothers that know how to throw down more than The Gronk Brothers — they were the perfect pick to help us finish this song,” said Brust. “Not only did they add their infectiously, energetic golden Gronk touch to the lyrics but they also rocked some vocals on the track and made the song feel and sound like a big anthem!”

“We’ve been getting to know Rob outside of the spotlight and the touchdowns and he is an awesome guy — meeting his brothers and getting to work with them was such a fun, creative experience,” added Lucas. “It was also such a natural fit to collaborate with them, because our last album is called Brothers and it’s all about coming together and that brotherly bond.”

“Cloud of Dust” was co-written by Locash (Preston Brust and Chris Lucas) with Dallas Davidson, Blake Bollinger and The Gronkowski Brothers. It follows their recent Number One hit, “One Big Country Song,” which earned the pair a nomination at this week’s (October 21) CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year.
