In recent years, No Sleep Records has given fans a free download EP for Christmas cheer. This year, they've gone the full album route--a mix of Christmas covers and originals as well as some exclusive acoustic versions of non-holiday songs--and they're offering the album for sale (at nominal prices) to raise money for charity. The 16 tracks herein will cost you a minimum donation of 50 cents. 50 cents for 16 songs isn't a bad deal at all. Heck, I'd pay that just for "Jewish Guilt" by The Braces. Of course, you're welcome to donate more. All proceeds will go to RESOLVE, an organization that seeks an end to the long running wars in Africa through applied political pressure and/or intervention. The music on "No Sleep 'Til Christmas 3" ranges from soft acoustic to the straight up Punk of the Braces. Tumbledown gives a respectable rocking performance on "Run Rudolph Run", Hellogoodbye gives John Lennon's classic a bit of a psychedelic makeover, I Call Fives sound fabulous on the original "This Xmas", and the Annelids close out the set with a nice pop reading of "Christmas Don't Be Late". In between, we get some Alt Folk and Alt Country, and The Flatliners' acoustic "Meanwhile In Hell" is particularly tasty. Make your donations through Bandcamp.
