A slightly belated Christmas 7” single on Stumparumper has arrived and it's a 4 way split from Banned Books/ Granny Frost/ Hoop Dreams and Fuck Montreal. It's totally seasonal but has a real fuck Christmas vibe. Banned Books 'XXXmas' track is kinda funny with its “I'll eat your carrot nose” lyric and lo-fi indie pop sound. Granny Frost keep things fuzzy and dirty with 'Crisco Lipstick Christmas. Hoop Dreams 'Under A Christmas Star' is totally funny coming like a juvenile South Park type Christmas tune. Good tongue in cheek fun. Fuck Montreal's take on “Do You Hear What I Hear' (the original always reminds me of the Gremlins movie) is totally ramshackle and ultimately quite endearing and sounds like its about to collapse any moment. Worth bagging for 2010's anti-Christmas party! Limited and hand numbered of 300 copies.I would just like to say that I am proud of all Stumparumper releases, and love them equally. We've had a crazy first year (well, it'll be a year in February), and I think we've put out some really nice stuff by top-notch bands. But, this. THIS. This just too damn good. I asked these bands to come up with a Christmas song, original or otherwise, and they all delivered on a level about 6 stories higher than I had ever hoped. Banned Books kicks things off with a punk song about what might or might not happen with the snowman sitting in your front yard. Granny Frost turns up the bass fuzz for a scathing (and non-sequitur) take on the holiday season. Hoop Dreams rocks from the perspective of Joseph, step-father of Jesus, and Fuck Montreal close it out with their rendition of "Do You Hear What I Hear?". Front cover art by the enigmatic MC Nugget, back cover by the H.A.N.S.! I sincerely hope you all enjoy this - it's perfect ending to a very tumultuous and, at times, frustrating year. But we done good. Thanks bands and loyal customers! See you all in the '10s.
