"Mistletoe and Wine," The Darkness (Cooking Vinyl)

Two decades on from their debut, The Darkness are still mining that 70s glam/hard rock sound, though their fandom is largely anchored to the UK and EU, as their earnest take on their inspirations has not gotten them much notice here in the USA. For 2025 they drop their third Christmas single (one and two here), a slow crunch hard rock ballad about two time-tested ways to celebrate the holiday. Streaming and downloads, natch.
