This quartet does an impressive job of channeling the spirit of 1960s rock, and solidly interpreting each memorable tune. The band's originals add a nice twist to the disc and are written with such '60s-savviness that without prior knowledge it would almost be difficult to decide which songs were covers and which were originals. Lead singer Pat DiNizio wraps his husky voice around a smartly selected collection of classic seasonal rockers such as \"Run Rudolph Run\" and \"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree,\" along with more obscure fare. It's the latter that makes this such a delight, as the band tears into rugged re-workings of the Ramones' \"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight),\" the Who's crunchy \"Christmas\" (from Tommy) and even a rare Beatles track grabbed from the Liverpool band's '60s fan club only discs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647057396013,"sku":"THE-SMITHEREENS-CWTS-LP-LE-GV-0722","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/2910\/4685\/files\/201374883380.jpg?v=1792004497","url":"https:\/\/shop.altpress.com\/products\/the-smithereen-christmas-with-the-smithereens-lp-limited-edition-green-vinyl","provider":"Alternative Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
