10 friends from college re-unite after a decade apart to pursue their life-long passion performing a cappella. December 2008 saw the release of "Holiday Spirits" spending 14 days at #1 on Amazon and 5 days in the top spot on iTunes. They’re back again in 2009 with "Christmas Cheers," featuring an all new mix of bass thumping, percussion filled, holiday hits. You will be amazed at the sounds of trumpets, moroccos, and other wind and percussion instruments produced a cappella. That’s right…they sing bass, drums, and wind instruments. You won’t believe how well they sound!
With "The 12 Days of Christmas" set to "Africa" by Toto, the "Mission Impossible" themed "We Three Kings" (listen below), and the tongue in cheek "Who Spiked the Eggnog?", Straight No Chaser bring a creative approach to spreading Christmas cheer.
Keep in mind, according to Buddy the Elf – "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
The real treat of "Christmas Cheers" is in a series of pop covers found at the end of the album beginning with "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse. If you are in need of some Christmas cheer, or are just in the mood for some feel-good music, I highly recommend this album.
I completely agree with you. Their music is fantastic to listen to and no matter how many times I hear it, I don’t want to turn it off. Excellent pick!
You’re in love because they played Toto. What a push-over. =]
