Coverproof

Usually, I really have a hard time with Christmas songs, mainly because a) I can’t digest Christmas for the obvious reasons and b) the songs are always the same God awful aural drek that makes me want to lock myself in the house until the season is over and I don’t have to listen to these horrible songs anymore.

But for once, I’m willing to make an exception with this special release from New Jersey’s The Hounds Of Winter.  Their Band In A Box is a compendium of Christmas-themed songs that have both heart and humor.  And they’ve made this available through their ReverbNation page (see link below) – check out their version of The Three Wise Men’s “Thanks For Christmas” (and that was another pseudonym for the glorious XTC).

This album has a lot of spirit and isn’t that what this time of year is all about?  Happy holidays to all!
