John Waters - It's a Punk Rock Christmas

Sub Pop is proud to present "John Waters Covers The Singing Dogs' 'Jingle Bells'" b/w "It's a Punk Rock Christmas," a new 7" single available ahead of "A John Waters Christmas," his annual holiday tour. The A-side single features a parody version of The Singing Dogs' "Jingle Bells," which takes the Christmas classic on a howling turn that should delight (and possibly dismay) dog owners everywhere. Meanwhile, the B-side, "It's a Punk Rock Christmas," is a raunchy spoken word yarn about the lack of the punk rock spirit during the anxiety-provoking season. The new single was produced by Grammy-winner Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, The Good Ones [Rwanda], poet Raymond Antrobus, Parchman Prison Prayer) who produced all of Waters' previous three singles. Brennan states, "In producing John's annual Christmas tour for over twenty years, it seemed almost negligent that he didn't have a Christmas record. Everyone from U2 to Justin Bieber to William Shatner to Bob Dylan does, and John's wit couldn't be a more fitting cheer for the annual holiday music canon."
