REV. ADAM MCKINNEY: BAND BRING GOOD TIDINGS TONIGHT >>>

As a fan of music, what attracts you to a band? Don’t be afraid; it’s just you and me here. Well, if you ask me (which you didn’t) it boils down to two criteria: exuberance and innovation. We’ll get to exuberance in a second, but first I want to talk about innovation. What Christmas brings to the table is a slapdash twist on punk. Their music mashes together rockabilly and surf and squeezes it through a punk mold, sounding at once sloppy and technically impressive.

I don’t want to sound like one of those morons who wanted to have a beer with our ex-President, but I kind of just want to hang out and drink with Christmas. They exude good will, and that’s mighty rare.
