Saw this on Christmas A Go Go a while back. They had it in with some other funk singles from Bandcamp. But this wasn't the kind of funk I was expecting. I suppose I should've taken the clue from the name Rage Against The Manger (obviously a play on Rage Against The Machine). This is Rap Metal, and Rap Metal Christmas songs are just cool! Not that I can think of another one off the top of my head. And not just Rap Metal...but Rap Metal Parody! I don't know anything about the band, though the page is tagged Hershey. Could be Pennsylvania. Could be chocolate. But they're damn good at this. With lyrics like "Jesus Was Born So We Could Shop For Life" and with a nod to Chanukah and Kwanzaa too, I hope they'll be back around with more Anti-holiday cheer next Christmas. "Christmas In The Name" is just one song on an 8 song eponymous EP. Having waited on this one a bit too long, the band has run out of credits for free downloads from Bandcamp. But have no fear, you can download the EP free through megaupload.

1. Hole In The North Pole 2. Slit Wrist For Christmas 3. SUPER SPECIAL HIDDEN TRACK Call it SteamPunk or Doom Folk or just Bizarre, Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys are nothing if not interesting. I'm tired of the slit wrist theme, but I thought "Hole In The North Pole" was...different. The group's web site is fascinating, if not all that informative. Oh, and PARENTAL ADVISORY. The real Walter Sickert was a German painter and eccentric with a fascination for Jack The Ripper. Such was his fascination, that several books have speculated that he was, in fact, The Ripper. All of which may or may not be relevant to the music, here, but it is interesting. "Anticlaus Superstar" is a "name your price" Bandcamp download. |
