Titus Andronicus have released a new Christmas song.
Drummer Boy combines the music from Billy Joel's Piano Man with singer Patrick Stickles' lyrics about the birth of Jesus for a rowdy take on the nativity. Stickles said:
"I first connected the dots between the great Billy Joel song and the beloved Christmas standard several years ago, but it got tossed onto the pile with so many of my other crazy ideas. Things being how they are, though, I may not have the luxury of time to execute all those crazy ideas, so when we had two days off in Montreal on our recent tour, we figured we’d grab the reindeer by the antlers and cross this one off the list, so as to avoid the pain of eternal regret. Also, I’ve noticed a lot of discourse recently about what constitutes a legitimate “parody” lately, and I’d like to get a piece of that action."
Titus Andronicus released their latest album, 'The Will To Live', in September. They'll support it with a UK and Ireland tour in February, followed by a run of North American dates stretching into spring.
