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. Celebrate New Year's Eve with KEXP via 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 "Dangerous Christmas" by Warning: Danger!, a 2019 self-released single. Brian tells us:
Warning: Danger! is a Seattle based band who created their own genre
- Safety Punk!
Mixing influences like the Dead Kennedys & The Dead Milkmen, the band
puts on theatrical & comedic live shows like no other.
Stay safe for Christmas, my friends
Warning: Danger! will be playing Saturday, May 2nd at Lucky Liquor, opening for long-running punk band M.O.T.O.
