Christmas Came Early For Swede
By Swede · 2 hours ago About ‘December Songs’, their album
New Zealand pop/rock quintet, Swede, have turned festive just in time for the silly season. Their latest release, "December Songs", is to be their first and only Christmas album, with the hopes that the songs will be revisited every year for decades to come. The band have no intention of ever writing a second Christmas album, as they have many other ideas they wish to do in the near future.
The album is made up of 12 tracks. All but one are originals penned by key band members. The only one that isn't an original is a cover of "Little Drummer Boy". According to an inside source, the band's drummer, Bob, truly shows off his skills on this track. There is another familiar title on the album - "12 Days of Xmas". The only thing that makes it different is that the lyrics have been rewritten. Other than that, the album is full of tracks never been heard before.
There will be 5 singles. The first being "Xmas Special", which is to be released simultaneously. Each of the remaining 4 will follow soon after, but most definitely before December 25th comes around.
The members of Swede send their fans, old and new, "Seasons Greetings", and they hope everyone enjoys their early present.
Swede are scheduled to return to the studio for their next album in the coming weeks.
