A Santa Cause: It's A Punk Rock Christmas  Hear it Now

RS: 0of 5 Stars Average User Rating: 4.5of 5 Stars

2003

Punk-rock rabble rousers and emo-core darlings come together in the spirit of Christmas for A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas. This festive collection, a portion of the proceeds from which will benefit the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, includes holiday classics from the likes of Blink-182, Acceptance and Matchbook Romance. Spiky riffs, frenzied melodies and solid pop hooks infused with a little yuletide cheer make this set much more than your traditional Christmas record. Paying tribute to the late Jam Master Jay, the A.K.A's funk up the Run-D.M.C. hit "Christmas in Hollis." Deftones frontman Chino Moreno joins Far for a sobering rendition of the Band Aid smash "Feed the World (Do They Know It's Christmas)." But it's "Christmastime Is Here" from Gatsby's American Dream that best embodies the dynamic energy of A Santa Cause.
