Hush the Herald Angels Sing, Oh, Hush! (self-issued)

These guys are a MySpace phenomenon based as much on their refusal to divulge much about themselves as on the music. The band is supposedly the side project of people from other bands we've heard of. This EP features five holiday songs, "Last Christmas," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Silent Night" and "Sleigh Ride." "Faithful" and "Sleigh Ride" are hard rockers, "Last Christmas" and "Santa" are more synthesizer pop-rock, and "Silent Night" is a folky rendition with a female singer. Nice work, and I'll update if we learn any of this band's secrets.
