Bat Hearse - \\u201cCoffin for Christmas,\\u201d a 2021 self-released single.

This week, we are continuing a long-held tradition of featuring Christmas-themed songs selected by Brian Foss, host of KEXP\\u2019s punk show Sonic Reducer. He will be hosting his 18th annual Punk Rock Xmess on Saturday, December 24th from 9pm -12am and then jump back on the mic Christmas day from noon - 9pm for his no standards, non-traditional Christmas broadcast, including a special holiday edition of Sunday Soul.

Detroit-based Gothabilly band Bat Hearse lean into darkness and horror but with a humorous slant. The five-piece have released two records, their 2021 self-titled debut and 2022\\u2019s Transylvania Moonshine but before dropping either, their first single was a tune in celebration of a very unlikely holiday for a band gushing Halloween out of their pours.

\\u201cCoffin for Christmas\\u201d barrels in like an undead force to be reckoned with. In between frequent howls, frontman Rick Ruiner sings of unrequited love and is either threatening them with a coffin for Christmas or is proclaiming that\\u2019s what he\\u2019s received. Either way, his anger is palpable. \\u201cAre you looking for stocking stuffer, baby?\\u201d asks vocalist/guitarist Nina Friday and Ruiner\\u2019s howls confirm the answer is most definitely affirmative.

Watch the blast of a video for \\u201cCoffin for Christmas\\u201d at the link below.
