With Violet: December Parade (Bow on Top)
With Violet are producing some great music. The St. John’s-based 4-piece released their first album Long Story Short this year and the tracks have been popping up on my playlists ever since. I was happy to discover that they were bringing their brand of pop to the holiday season.
And their new release December Parade (Bow on Top) didn’t disappoint. It’s a strong track that works, first and foremost, as a solid pop song. The fact that it happens to reference the holiday season is just a pleasant bonus.
In terms of subject matter, December Parade (Bow On Top) takes listeners on a journey into winter and all the fun that can be, if you happen to be standing next to the right person. Its got a good groove, big vocals (by Pete), and a great sense of fun about it.
Check it out.
Newfoundland Christmas Music
Stay tuned for more great Newfoundland Christmas music.
I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening.
Newfoundland's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing a song a day from now until Christmas in a NFLD Music Advent Calendar.
