Loyal readers of mine already know of my utmost devotion to anything and everything related to Beat Radio, which includes their side projects, solo offerings, and former bandmates bands, so it should be no surprise that I am utterly floored by pretty much everything Easy Anthems does. I had them play my second ever show and have kept their criminally underrated self-titled LP on repeat since its release last year. Well today the band has posted a holiday themed EP on their website which is available to free download. The album features ten classic noels reinterpreted to fit the Easy Anthem mold. What that means is that they are a cross breed between bluegrass, country, pop, and rock molded perfectly by the beautiful voices provided by Vanessa and Philip Jimenez. Beat Radio frontman Brian Sendrowitz lends his vocals to a version of "Angels We Have Heard on High", and there are a few other guest appearances here and there throughout the EP.
It's a solid EP of tunes that I've only had one listen to (mostly 'cause I'm not quite ready for Christmas tunes yet), but will probably be part of any holiday mixes I make and surely soundtrack my gift wrapping. If you're sick of the traditional versions of Christmas tunes, hate the old Sufjan Christmas stuff, and want a little something new for your yuletide, I'd highly suggest downloading the whole thing.
