Even punks like Santa Claus, snow, tree and all that stuff . Less than a year after the release of their latest album, "True north" , released on the market in January, Bad Religion return it to appear on the music market with a Christmas album, soberly titled " Christmas songs :" among the songs included in the tracklist include classic holiday theme - obviously reinterpreted in punk rock - like " White Christmas ," " Little drummer boy " and "What child is this? " , as well as a remix made by Andy Wallace of " American Jesus , "originally entered in" Recipe for hate " in 1993.
In recent months, the Californian punk veterans have been forced to do without the presence of guitarist Greg Hetson in training and in fact "Christmas Songs" is the first recorded work without him from "Into the Unknown " in 1983 . Although the reasons for the flat fee of Hetson were never formalized ( in a statement released early last May by bassist Jay Bentley was referring to unspecified " personal problems " ) , it seems that forcing the musician at the stop sign was the stormy divorce from his second wife Alia .
Two curiosities : 20% of the revenue of the disk will be allocated to SNAP , an association that assists victims of sexual abuse by clergy , the cover photo is taken by click " New shoes " by Gerald Waller, who portrays an orphan in Austria in 1946 that has just received a new pair of shoes from the American Red Cross.
