about

THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS RECORD. It is more a hard-rocking satire on religious dogma, empty rituals, and mindless consumerism which can be enjoyed any time of year. 4Shadows play improvised rock which draws on punk, metal, blues, and jazz influences with ironic lyrics that mix absurd poetry with social critique. This anti-Christmas album kicks Santa's ass. Sorry! Get used to it.
