To Do:
The Vindictives are pop-punk legends. On this record, they play two Christmas
classics in their own punk rock way. Who knew a punk band could cover
these two songs and do a good job? Well, i didn't until i listened to
it.
Review taken from Supertrash:
This is a great holiday record! The Vindictives are back and they picked
the perfect way to claim that. The record starts off with a really creepy
"Happy Birthday to Jesus" song sung by Joey Vindictive. It's probably
the most creepy version of "Happy Birthday" you'll ever hear in your life.
Then it goes right into their rendition of "Nuttin' For Christmas" which
used to be an innocent little song about a kid who's been bad this year
and won't get anything for Christmas. But, leave it to the Vindictives
to fuck that up and make it a punk rock classic! The best is when they
inser the line "Turn his brother onto crack/ Fucked his sister in the
ass/ Somebody snitched on me." That one gets me every time. On the b-side
is a great version of "Jingle Bells." This version actually reminds me
of what I would imagine the VANDLAS would sound like covering this song.
There's a real noodly guitar solo in the middle that reminds me of Warren
Fitzgerald's playing style. They rock this one out as well, though. I
mean how can you not love "Jingle Bells" with crew shouts? Oh yeah, and
Joey really shows his stuff at the end of this one and does his best impersonation
of Mariah Carey. It's great!! Oh yeah and it comes in three different
colors! You can get clear, red, or green...holiday colors, ya know? Well,
anyways, I know it's past Christmas time, but you should go ahead and
get this now and have it ready for next year. Sure as hell don't try to
wait until next winter to get it either because this one's limited and
will be out of print and unavailable by then....... -
