Ohhhh I do like some doo-woop Christmas car wrecks. Yeah this singer is having a lonely Christmas at the Chinese restaurant – but he sings this song with so much fun and verve.
This voice is pure gold – and the story is wonderful. This love is traveling, across the landscape, down into Central America – and the beautiful thing here is that there is faith in this love, that the love will bring this couple back together again.
Every band should have a Christmas song – and every band should have a New York City Christmas song. There’s something so wonderful about the loneliness and heartbreak and bad behavior in New York City around the holidays.
These boys start with some cowbell and then the song rolls forward with a massive wave of sixties psychedelic guitar.
Lo Wray of BROTHRS writes, sings, harmonizes, plays all the instruments, engineers and mixes this pretty pretty song. Lo knows how to write songs. This is gorgeous in its simplicity.
Beautiful 1977 punk. The song is an out of control race car that is shaking and billowing smoke and will probably blow apart.
The song rolls out slow, soft and mysterious, like a winter fog rolling into a valley at dusk. This a poet searching for a vocabulary that captures all the emotional truths of falling in love with someone and then cutting them open to build them a new wooden heart.
Hard rocking and snarling punk – plus an 80s video game inspired synth. You’ve stolen my heart. This is the perfect example of the global underground.
The Holy Crap Records Podcast is all about the art form of song – and this is a classic. It’s garage rock, it’s classic rock-n-roll, it’s doo-wop – like a dirty street hit from the late 1950s was rediscovered.
