Goldblade - City Of Christmas GhostsGoldblade - City Of Christmas Ghosts

The good old pirate sounding punk rockers Goldblade have just created a Christmas song that they are releasing as a single on the 8th December, the song is called 'City Of Christmas Ghosts' and on first listen you may well feel that you have heard the song before and technically you might well of done as the song is a re-recorded and re-named version of a song called 'City Of Ghosts' which features on their current album 'Mutiny'.

'City Of Christmas Ghosts' is a really cheery upbeat melodic Christmas song, Poly Styrene features on the song with guest vocals which sees her go head to head with Goldblade frontman John Robb with alternate lead vocals, the song tells a story about the spirit of Christmas and a tale of lost love and nostalgia for lost love and friends across the festive period. The song has a bit of a Ramones style feel to it, just check out the first 10 seconds of the introduction and you will clearly see what I mean.

Christmas is a time for badly released Christmas songs that have no meaning whatsoever with everyone fighting for the Christmas number 1, luckily for Goldblade they aren’t fighting for the Christmas number 1 but I am sure if enough people hear about this song then it will smash into the UK top 40 as it is the best Christmas song that has been released since The Pogues released 'Fairy Tale Of New York' all those years ago.

4/5
