Simply Having a Wonderful Compilation, various artists (Father/Daughter, Wax Nine)

Two labels combined to produce a holiday compilation for 2020 featuring alt-rockers that benefits Feeding America. The track list alternates between covers of familiar tunes and brand new originals. Among the covers are Melkbelly doing Everclear's "Hating You For Christmas," Bacchae performing "This Will Be Our Year" from the Zombies' repertoire, Pronoun covering Jimmy Eat World's "12-23-95," Ohmme handling the putative title song by Sir Paul McCartney, Kaina performing "I'll Be Home For Christmas," Johanna Warren doing "Coventry Carol," and Pom Pom Squad taking on "Last Christmas." Among the originals, we have Sad13 with her anti-commercialism screed "Shit For Christmas," Routine's pensive midtempo number "Wait," Maneka's brooding "Santa Is a Neocon," which actually isn't about foreign policy but is about greed, Illuminati Hotties' plea to recognize the problems in the world around us on "xmas wish list (what we all asked for)," Diet Cig's speedy thrash through "Happy Holiday," and Tasha's not-quite-holiday-oriented "Love Song." If you need an indie take on Christmas, this collection is here for you, and don't forget the charitable benefit this collection bestows.
