Nice People is an indie label out of Norman, Oklahoma, in the grand tradition of all the indie rock labels that came before them. Their artist roster ranges from cult favorites the Feel Spectres and Depth & Current to a pair of young ladies (aged 15 and 10) who call themselves Skating Polly (not featured on this EP). The music featured by the label runs the experimental gamut from psychedelic pop, to pop punk, to art rock, to......whatever. So this label freebie is likely not going to appeal to traditionalists. But if you're into all things rock, depending on what you're in to specifically, you might find a song or two here that makes you happy that there are Nice People in the world who share their wares for free. For me, that track is Locust Avenue's psych-pop delight "At Christmastyme", which would have fit right in on one of those Midnight X-Mess albums put out by Midnight Records in the early 80s. Others might prefer the much more raw (and loud) "Coast of Christmas Trash" from the aptly named The Boom Bang. Or perhaps you'll settle in for the garage rock of Gang Starr Museum; I can't even begin to describe all the basic rock styles and artists they're borrowing from to create "Comanche Christmas Eve", but its oddly satisfying. For those looking for more ethereal sounds, there are the tracks from Crocodile and The Evangelicals.
Nice People are hoping to make this an annual event, so go check out "Checking It Twice"--at least once. Christmas music doesn't have to be all sleigh bells and Santa Claus. There might just be something here to suit your holiday fancy. And it's FREE. Who knows, you might even be inspired to subscribe to the label's free podcast on iTunes.
