Christmess, The Annihilators (self-issued)

We've had these self-described "dad punks" from Cleveland on the site before, and though they have made non-holiday recordings before, they're probably best known for their original punk-rock Christmas tunes. This 2025 EP kicks off with "Dear Santa," in which the naughty protagonist pleads his case with the jolly elf; "Trouble at the North Pole," a thrashy story of the elves' labor disputes with Santa; "Goth Girl Christmas," a laundry list of the title character's holiday preparations; the fairly obvious "All I Want For Christmas Is a Hangover"; and the country lament "Stuck in a Truck Stop." Bandcamp customers get a bonus track, the non-holiday "Men In Blue." Downloads and streaming available in the usual places, including Amazon.
