-- Karson City Rebels Unleash “Our Love Lives Forever” – A Timeless Ode to Enduring Love
Los Angeles, CA – February 11, 2026 – Award-winning singer-songwriter and front man Gil Karson, the visionary leader of the Southwest-born powerhouse Karson City Rebels (KCR), is set to captivate hearts worldwide with the band’s newest single, “Our Love Lives Forever”. This powerful, soul-stirring anthem celebrates unbreakable commitment and love that triumphs over time, inspired by the real-life 60-year marriage of the band’s drummer’s grandparents. Out Now, the track is perfectly timed to ignite romance this Valentine’s Day and beyond.
Blending the raw energy of Southern rock with the heartfelt storytelling of classic country, “Our Love Lives Forever” delivers KCR’s signature sound: thunderous driving guitars, an irresistible steady groove, and lyrics steeped in raw authenticity. It’s the ultimate soundtrack for epic long drives, intimate slow dances, and anyone who still believes in forever.
“This song is about the kind of love that’s always there even when life gets hard,” says Gil Karson, the band’s charismatic leader, guitarist, and creative force. “It’s steady, it’s real, and it keeps on goin’ – just like the song.”
The release follows a string of high-impact singles from Karson City Rebels, including the patriotic chart-topper “Freedom Guaranteed” (a Global Music Awards winner in the Americana category), the high-octane “Runaway Train”, the fun-loving “Let’s Party”, and the spirited “Barrel Racing Granny”. Under Gil’s guidance, the band has built unstoppable momentum with their retro-infused blend of Americana-rock, blues, and Bakersfield sound – earning praise for high-energy live performances and unforgettable songs.
Gil Karson brings decades of industry heavyweight credentials to every note. A lifelong musician from a showbiz family, he boasts a gold record for the iconic 1977 disco smash “Le Spank” (by Le Pamplemousse), multiple hits on R&B and Dance charts. His songs have powered major films including Lionheart (starring Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Angel Town (where he wrote all the tracks, including the title song, served as music supervisor, and appeared with his band). Gil has opened for legends like The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Steppenwolf, and The Rascals, and collaborated with Grammy-winning producers.
Now, with Karson City Rebels – featuring top-tier talent like multi-instrumentalist Jon Adams, powerhouse drummer Brian Burwell (credits include Michael Bolton’s RIAA Gold hit and major awards shows), and more – the band is poised for even greater heights. Available on all major streaming platforms starting February 6, 2026, “Our Love Lives Forever” is more than a song – it’s a declaration of resilience, devotion, and love built to last.
