That time of the year is approaching fast again when shop owners are under the impression that their clientele needs a dose of Mariah Carey, Chris Rea, Wham!, and Bing Crosby as the soundtrack for their shopping. Christmas is a sonic nightmare, despite all good efforts each year to write and release a seasonal song that does not suck, in hopes that it will be playlisted to yank the crowd out of their painting by numbers slumber.
English twee trio The Happy Somethings give it a go with No More Christmas Songs, taking a scalpel to predictability of pretty much every song that hopes to cash in on the rampant hypocrisy. A pause from warfare is not what will people help - that's a commitment that needs to be put into effect all year long.
No More Christmas Songs is a self-released single. Buy it from their website.
