Punk Rawk Christmas is a Christmas compilation studio album by American rock band MxPx released on December 1, 2009. [1] [2] [3] The album contains 10 tracks originally recorded and released each year from 1998 to 2008 and sent to MxPx's fan club members as CD singles and later as digital downloads. [3] The album contains some previously released holiday music as well as four previously unreleased tracks that were collected following fan requests to release the material in a collection. [1] [4] [5]
In 2009, following ten years of limited edition Christmas-themed singles and digital downloads, MxPx collected all their previous holiday material into the compilation Punk Rawk Christmas through the band's own record label Rock City Recording Company. [1] [5] This version of the record was released on CD and sold through Amazon as well as the band's official website. [6] It was also made available on digital download platforms and later digital streaming platforms. Simultaneously, a limited edition 7-inch record was released under the same title, featuring two songs from the CD and two demo versions exclusive to the seven-inch. [2] [6] [7]
Shortly after the album's release Mike Herrera spoke with Alternative Press and explained the song "Christmas Night of the Living Dead" was re-titled, against his knowledge, to "Christmas Night of Zombies" when it originally appeared on the 2003 A Santa Cause compilation. [8]
In December 2018, MxPx released a new Christmas song titled "December" and concurrently removed the full length version of the Punk Rawk Christmas album from digital platforms, replacing it with an EP of the same title. This EP features December and only five other tracks found on full length version of Punk Rawk Christmas. [9]
A music video for the song Gimme Christmas was directed by Mark Nash and Chris Craryand. It was released on YouTube on December 5, 2007 when Gimme Christmas was original released as a single. [10]
All tracks are written by Mike Herrera, expect Auld Lang Syne (Traditional)
