"Holidays in Austin," Parker Woodland (Flak)

Well, that's a blast of holiday rock I wasn't expecting. Parker Woodland is from Austin, TX (ya think?) and is a three-piece band in which nobody is named after the band, and in less than two minutes you'll forget there's any such person as Mariah Carey. The lyrics are a local shout-out to their home town and the music is solid upbeat roots rock 'n roll. Downloads and streaming, natch.
