Short, well ... not too short notes

Of course, Boy Band from New York consists of three gals, what else. And boy, can they sing! Chillingly beautiful harmonies (recorded mostly in the kitchen) that hit just the right notes, including those of the soul. "And don’t be worried about my lonely, My Nostalgia is plenty company."
This great original is from their 2019 album A Very Boy Band Christmas, that was re-released this year.

Vista Blue, do we need say more? There are few bands that set the xmas bar so high and manage to put a few delicious Christmas bangers under the tree every year. Three this time; one Connie Francis cover, plus two VB-originals. A pinch of Ramones here, a touch of Margo (referring to THIS Christmas movie, of course) there and we're gonna be warm this winter.

A cover of the 1960 classic 'Must Be Santa' by Mitch Miller and the Gang that starts furiously with the famous dirty 'Helter Skelter' riff, that Must Be Weeklings, America's most unique celebration of the music & muse of The Beatles. They made a complete Christmas album this year, available at their website.

the DRIVE dared to cover Elvis Presley and they get away with it damn well. The 1957 track has been stripped of its country jacket and because brothers Danny & Isaac Griffin don't shy away from the grand gesture, a solid pop rock Christmas track has been created. Not too subtle perhaps, but even in stadiums they like to hear a good Christmas song every now and then, right?
