I hate Christmas music. Every year, months before Christmas is even at our doorstep, the music starts to take over radio stations and store speakers. I cringe at the sound of constant songs about Santa and his reindeer. I wasn't always this bitter towards it, but time has changed that, because one can only listen to Christmas music every year for 20 years before they feel like living in a cave to avoid the holiday altogether.
Anyways, all that exaggerated distress aside, I am happy to introduce some Christmas music that I rather enjoy. Gentleman Auction House, a band that I have a few songs of from their full length album (a post on that will come once I acquire it in its entirety) has come out with a small collection of Christmas songs titled Christmas In Love. I came across this EP(?) yesterday and after waking up to this morning I decide that it is a step in the right direction for holiday music. Some of the songs are cheesy lyrically, which is to be expected, but the musicianship is obvious GAH (indie rock with a hint of punk). There are two downloads below so that you can decide for yourself whether this is worthy of the term "better Christmas music."

Gentleman Auction House-Christmas In Love
P.S. Is it just me or does the lead singer kinda sound like Conor Oberst?
