An Indiecater Christmas
For the third year in a row, music blogger MP3Hugger has asked some of his favourite bands to record festive covers for a download-only compilation. It features an international cast of little-known but great bands like The Very Most, The Gorgeous Colours and Dolfish. It’s a better and more original choice than listening to Now That’s What I Can Christmas! every year.
