Rooted in New Orleans but based in Nashville, rockers Vista Blue list their influences as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Ramones, The Fountains of Wayne, MTX and Weezer. This tragicomedy of a Christmas song, written by Rusty Spell, captures the moment some poor sucker realises that he has missed Christmas and berates, to a chugging beat, his neighbours for not putting a candle in the window and passers-by for not clueing him in to the date with a seasonal greeting on the big day. Great fun!
