August Burns Red hadn’t released a new song in a whole month, and that simply would not do. So now they’ve unveiled a cover of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”
I haven’t listened to it. I won’t listen to it. I refuse to keep participating in this “Christmas starts in November” bullcrap. Lemme get through Thanksgiving without using the carving knife to slaughter my entire family, then we can begin talking about the next thing. Okay?
Of course, some of you may not feel the way I do about listening to Christmas music on November fucking 12th. You’re free to check out the track below.
