Re-recording David Bowie and Bing Crosby’s version of ‘Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth’ seems to be all the rage this season and though we adore Jack Black and Jason Segel’s version, Spank Rock and Johnny Siera’s (The Death Set) is a adorable and definitely brings the LOLs.
“This NYC frost is getting ridiculous. As a way to deal with the hibernation we whipped up this cover of The Cure ‘Grinding Halt’.’ – That’s the email we received from The Death Set’s Johnny Siera regarding his band’s new cover song. Take a listen yourself, maybe the frantic gyrating it will induce will help ward off the cold.
The Death Set (no longer The Deathset) are one of those bands that you can consistently rely upon to curate a litany of quality music, ideas and good old fashion fun. It then makes perfect sense for them to have teamed-up with their clothing company, event maker, random blogger counterparts Mishka to present a new mix-tape, Artificially Sweetened.
The whole mix is available as a free download here and to celebrate its launch, the brand and band will be throwing a party tonight in Williamsburg. Details and track-listing after the jump.
