MIKE WOODS GETS INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT: INSIDE THE MAKING OF SNOW DAYS - EP

The pop rock singer-songwriter talks festive inspiration, new music and celebrating the magic of the holiday season with his first ever Christmas EP.

The holiday season is bringing a new sound to Mike Woods' growing pop rock catalogue. With the release of SNOW DAYS - EP through ICONOCLAST MUSIC, Woods steps into the world of Christmas music with a five-track collection filled with festive energy, winter nostalgia and heartfelt moments.

Featuring "Snow Days", "Snowman", "Miss This Christmas", "Get Ready" and "1 Wish", the EP explores everything from the excitement of the season to the more sentimental feelings that come with the holidays. We caught up with Mike to talk about the inspiration behind the project and bringing his own sound to Christmas music.

What inspired you to create SNOW DAYS - EP?

"I wanted to do something different and explore the holiday season through my music. Christmas has so many different feelings attached to it, from excitement and happiness to nostalgia, and I thought it would be fun to bring all of that together in one project."

How would you describe the sound of the EP?

"It's still very much my pop rock sound, but with a festive twist. I wanted the songs to feel warm, catchy and seasonal while giving each track its own personality. It's a little different from my usual releases, which made the project especially fun to put together."

Is there a particular track that stands out to you?

"I think 'Snow Days' really captures the overall feeling of the EP. It's upbeat, festive and has that winter atmosphere I wanted to create. I also really enjoy the contrast with songs like 'Miss This Christmas' and '1 Wish', which bring a more emotional side to the collection."

What do you hope listeners take away from this release?

"Mostly, I hope people have fun listening to it and find a song they connect with. Whether they're celebrating Christmas, spending time with family or just enjoying a winter evening, I'd love for the EP to become part of their holiday soundtrack."

What's your favourite part of the holiday season?

"It's the atmosphere more than anything. The decorations, the music, the excitement and spending time with people you care about. There's something really special about this time of year, and I think that's what makes writing holiday music so enjoyable."

With SNOW DAYS - EP, Mike Woods brings together five festive tracks that celebrate the excitement, nostalgia and emotion of Christmas. A fresh seasonal addition to his growing catalogue, the project invites listeners to embrace the winter atmosphere and make a little holiday magic of their own.
