This week, we are featuring Christmas-themed songs selected by Brian Foss, host of Sonic Reducer, KEXP's punk show. Brian has been doing a punk rock Christmas special every year since 2004, and has been a Christmas Day on-air DJ since 2012. No standards are played, only original songs, most with a humorous bent. Hear him this holiday season from Noon to 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 25th, and then celebrate New Year's Eve with Brian's "New Wave New Year's" show on Tuesday, December 31st from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM PST.
Brian's pick for today is "No Gifts For Nazis" by the Alice Bag Band, a 2019 single on Get Better Records. Brian tells us:
Starting in The Bags, one of the first generation of punk rock bands
to emerge out of Los Angeles, Alice has had a long career as a
musician, author, activist, educator & over all bad ass.
Her 2019 Xmas song is a middle finger to those who only deserve coal.
Alice Bag's most recent LP is Blueprint, released last year via Don Giovanni Records. She'll be playing the Burger Records' 11th Annual Burger Boogaloo on Saturday, July 11th with Bikini Kill, Circle Jerks, Flipper, and many more.
