Continued Happy Holidays, Courtesy of a TTSCC Alumnus
Whether you’re festive, restive, snowed in, plowed under, or busily transferring your record purchasing hitlist to your phone/blog/bookmarking service/sugar daddy, it’s never too late to celebrate the holidays.
If you follow the TTSCC on Twitter, you already saw our update about former member of the Larkin Administration Erik’s band Unikord. In case you missed it, Unikord released a special two-song single for the holidays that carry on Unikord’s tradition of metal and murder, Merry X-Massmurderer (exclusive vinyl download). “Frosty” tells the tale of a familiarly-named, yet dangerously homicidal, snowman. Likewise, “Santa Clause is Killing in Town” tells a tale of St. Nick gone bad, murdering all in his path. Is the name “Santa Clause” a typo, or is it in fact Tim Allen’s character from the cornball Christmas “Santa Clause” movies who is on a murdering spree? Personally, the TTSCC prefers the latter interpretation.
“But wait,” you yell at your phone whilst careening one-handed through a snow-rutted parking lot, “what’s this about Unikord’s ‘tradition’ of murderous metal? Isn’t this the first release?”. As surely as you are about to hit that car backing out, we can say “Yes, this is NOT their first release!”. Then we call the ambulance for you.
Unikord has been ripping it up out Colorado way for several years now. We’ll spare you the exhaustion-inducing task of using a search engine and point you to this amazing video of the ‘Kord back in 2007 performing the song that made them famous, “Floss with Steve”
Remember, when requesting the band at your local internet search parlor, that’s Unikord with a K (as in Killing), and not “Unichord” with a CH (as in Clueless Honkies).
I Need More Holiday-Related Merriment
Of course you do! That is why we’re also including this somber folk number, reflecting on the passing of Christmas, and of gifts given, gotten, and dreamed about. Once again, it features Erik on drums. So sit back, relax, gather the family ‘round, and join The Broken Spoke in their feel-good anthem “The Pills I Got for Christmas”.
