"Anytown USA," Stratocruiser (self-issued)

This North Carolina band has made itself an annual visitor by coming up with a new holiday tune every year, and for 2011 they keep the string going. This year's tune is about a soldier away from family and friends on the holiday and yearning for home. A nice mid-tempo rocker with power pop trappings, you'll want a copy of this, and because it's up on Bandcamp you can get it for free. The band also has a new CD collection of all their past seven holiday tunes, including this one. Click on the cover art to buy it from Amazon or visit the band here to buy a copy.
