If you’ve been around the scene for a while, you might remember a Charleston garage rock band that we often praised called The Dumbest Kids in School. They ended their run a while back for several reasons, one of them being guitarist/vocalist Conner Fersner’s move to Nashville. In Nashville, though, Conner started a new band called Wild Squash that certainly scratches a similar itch.
What better way to introduce yourselves to Wild Squash than their recently-released Christmas carol, “2 Stoned 4 Xmas”. The title says it all: “2 Stoned 4 Xmas” is a song about getting stoned on Christmas.
This track was a split release with Nashville band Shoe, who released a song called “2 Drunk 4 Xmas”, which is about (you guessed it) getting drunk on Christmas.
I know nobody can relate to the idea of getting drunk or high around your family on Christmas, but you might as well listen anyway. Stream “2 Stoned 4 Xmas” by Wild Squash and “2 Drunk 4 Xmas” by Shoe below.
If you dig this and want to know what Wild Squash sounds like when they’re not out singing Christmas carols, check out their debut single “Crazy Is Better Than Lonely”, which was released earlier this year.
