V/A - Merry X-Mas Dammit From The Double Down Saloon
V/A - Merry X-Mas Dammit From The Double Down Saloon – As far as Christmas compilations go, usually they are just like a poor kids Christmas dreams, filled with potential and anticipation, but when the day comes the finished results leave you disappointed and thinking “That’s It?”. Well this Christmas compilation is a poor kids dream. The album starts off with a solid blast from the past with punk rock legends Murphy’s Law and their happy holiday song “Sock It To Me Santa” , which is the best song I’ve heard from since “Back With A Bong“, The rest of the 41 minute album is jam packed with a full mix of original punk rock Christmas classics and some great punked up Christmas cover songs. Of the 17 songs there are many stand outs, but the top five for me (other than “Sock It To Me Santa”) would be in no particular order;
“Santa Baby” by The Dirty Panties
“Santa Was A Cross Dressing Nazi” – The Vermin
“I’m Getting Nothing For Christmas” – Peccadilloes
“Christmas In Las Vegas” – Richard Cheese
“X-Mas Medley” – The Las Vegas Allstars
This album needs to be a stocking stuffer for every punk rocker on your Christmas list. If not, go ass fuck yourself with Frosty’s frozen carrot.
