"St. Catharines Revenge Of The Egg People are back with bells on! After doing Christmas shows for eight years, theyve decided to put together an album and Christmas will never be the same.
The album, Songs And Hymns Of Glorious Praise, is an upbeat, lighthearted Christmas rock album with a mix of classics and originals. Its got the ones you know and love like "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "Hark The Herald Angels Sings" with a harder edge... and then theres some you might not be familiar with.
Songs like "Seasons Greeting Felony" tells the tale of a man finding Santa looking like Jerry Garcia in his house and shooting him in the head because "the noise down the hall scared the piss outta me!"
"The Elvan Song" is another original (transcribed from Elvish according to the liner notes) about disgruntled Elves making toys for rich kids while they slave away hopelessly and get abused by the Fat Man.
Not only are there songs of Christmas cheer, but stories too! "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" begins with drunken banter from Cashmere, Bug, J.A.M.E.S. and Bird. All together it takes the guys nine minutes to get the twelve days out between lighter-stealing accusations and mic-hogging threats. Almost every verse includes, "thats my line -- shut up!" The only part they could actually utter in unison was the "5 golden rings" part.
All in all its a funny, spunky album with the guys doing their unique rendition of how Christmas carols should be sung... hammered!"
Heres the complete track listing:
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
"Seasons Greeting Felony"
"Lesser Known Reindeer"
"Do You Hear What I Hear?"
"Home"
"Frosty Cant Go To Mexico"
"12 Days Of Christmas"
"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!"
"Elvan Song"
"Something About Christmas"
"Calorie Counting Claus"
"Twas The Night Before Christmas"
