"I Renounce Verdukianism!," The Boy Detective (Punkerton)

Well, this will wake you up on Christmas morning in a heck of a hurry. This southeastern Michigan band just dropped an album, Exhibition, and at the same time provided us with this solid ska-punk Christmas song. If you can't connect the title to the song, be advised that it's a reference to an episode of "30 Rock" in which some characters made up a fake religion to get out of Kenneth the page's Secret Santa giveaway. To quote singer Benny Capaul: "'Tis the season of disastrous relationships and crippling self-isolation mixed with stretched out and holey stockings overflowing with regret and jealousy. Deck the halls with subzero apartments and frostbitten appendages!" Downloads and streaming, natch.
