Ralphie's Red Ryders - "Black Bart"
America's favorite A Christmas Story themed pop-punk band is back with another digital single worthy of a major award. If you thought Ralphie's Red Ryders might soon run out of song ideas after five singles and a 12-song album, I'm here to assure you that they're just getting started! "Black Bart" is the catchiest and bounciest Christmas pop-punk song you could ever hope to hear. What's the point of owning a Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle if you can't pick off creeping marauders with murderous precision? This is a little bit of a different sound for RRR, who have expanded on their usual Vista Blue mimicry with some nods to early Lookout! Records punk (quite a feat for three kids from late '30s Indiana). Flick could have used some of that hot bass when his tongue was stuck to that flagpole! Did Ralphie track those vocals in the front seat of The Old Man's '37 Oldsmobile? This is another super fun release from a super fun band, and Conor's cover art is amazing! Blast this next week when you're pre-gaming for the marathon!
