3-D Christmas, Tres Diablos (3-D Productions)

An EP starring "I'm Coming Home," a nice, simple pop-rock ballad from this Los Angeles combo for 2008, playing on the coming-home-for-Christmas motif. They're made up of members from The Rembrandts, Gin Blossoms and Devereaux 75. They throw in an uptempo "White Christmas" cover and, general alert, another version of "I'm Comin' Home Backwards" -- literally, Paul McCartney-is-dead-rumors backward. If you're downloading, save yourself a little cash on that last one -- unless you really need a backwards Christmas song, in which case ignore me. Note that there have been at least two other bands called Tres Diablos, one featuring three members of Pantera, and another who recorded a song called, wait for it, "Tres Diablos." Neither of these have, to my knowledge, recorded a Christmas song.
