This mostly-girl group from New York was active in the 1990s and had an album produced by Richard Gottehrer, who was well known for his work with the Go-Go's and Blondie. Their label recently dug out these unreleased gems from their heyday for 2016, only one of which, the lovely "Christmas Is a Time For Giving," is a holiday tune. Fortunately, it's one you simply must have; think the Go-Go's singing over a midtempo Ramones track as produced by Phil Spector, and you've pretty much got it. The non-Christmas tracks are worth the purchase too, including a recasting of the Rezillos' "Teenage Kicks" as "Teenage Dicks." Must get over to Bandcamp ASAP, as they're threatening to pull it down forever on New Year's Day.
