Ok, I realize I’m like 5 million years late to this, but I just listened to Coloring Book and holy shit is this music what I relate with this time of year! The tone, feeling, instrumentation of these tracks I Everything I wanna associate with the holiday season...
Found some gems on Dying Scene: Mikey Erg and Connor Ratliff: Band Spotlight: Connor Ratliff and Mikey Erg bring us a secular XMAS with "The Spirit of Ratliff" - Dying Scene Captain Kaiser "Xmas Sweater" Captain Kaiser (punk) release video for "Xmas Sweater" - Dying Scene
They rereleased last year’s Gwen Stefani Christmas album with some extra songs It’s really good. Great mix of classics and original songs and great production.
I remember the holiday music threads used to be huge but had died off somewhat. I just thought I'd look out of curiosity and found out I have 963 'holiday songs' - mixture of classics and rock covers / originals. Can't beat them... but I can only listen to them 1 month a year!
Raw Rock Militia has re-branded their annual Christmas mix as Friends Friends Friends. This years installment is below: The Chvrch of Santa, by Friends Friends Friends Records
goldfinger should've just released 12 days of christmas.... honestly, i know im being overly critical on a XMAS ep but, thought this was kinda a waste of time. They were advertising this thing a lot on facebook and it's just a 4 song EP of covers we've heard a trillion times before. Would've liked ONE original or a cover that's somewhat unique. 12 days of christmas is solid....but man, relient k already showed the world the best 12 days of christmas cover. i mean it's fine. it's all fine... it's nice getting an updated version of their white christmas
I agree! Here's the link in case anyone hasn't heard it yet. Music: Mad Caddies: "I'm Going Surfing For Xmas"
For as long as I've been at this (close to 20 years of punk rock holiday goodness). I can always find something I either missed or maybe glossed over or meant to check out and forgot. Notrockrecords has been doing a comp for 9 years!!! Check out their Bandcamp page, I found a few good tracks just jumping around. NotRockRecords
