“Expanding their sound to one that is more mainstreamed yet still channels their signature quirks (such as Stan’s wailing voice), you can now show up to a Santa show and have no idea what they’re going to play or what fresh tunes you’ll get to hear.”
-Carlye Wisel, OverUC.com
“…the dudes in Santa succeed, where so many other like-minded bands have failed, by actually finding a compelling melody…My Bones is thrillingly pleasant; without any real peaks or valleys, the record rolls on in its singularly mellow way, accumulating meaning and weight the farther it goes. I highly recommend that you find a copy of My Bones and spend some serious time with it.”
-Adam Angiulo, StrongWordsINC.com
“[My Bones] is a lovely little affair full of laid-back summer jams that evoke reminiscences of late afternoons on the beach and the long light of summertime… The recordings are tight and polished ... and the whole thing is a decidedly professional outing for a band still a bit wet behind the ears.”
-Derek Davies, GoodWeatherForAirStrikes.com
Santa is a rock band known for its honest songwriting and lush instrumentation. Heavily influenced by the pop legacy, they believe in memorable songs above all else. Santa's music takes the form of melodic rock delivered with passionate vocals. Santa wants you to sing along.
Finally, our CD entitled "The Unconquered Son" is in the Best Buy stores. It has been confirmed to us that it is in the stores in Decatur (Forsyth), Champaign, Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Carbondale - all in Illinois; also Cape Girardeau, St. Louis, Crestwood, Fenton, and Chesterfield (all in Missouri).
We know it is also in other stores (and other states) but these have been confirmed to us this morning. If you are at your local Best Buy and they do not have it in stock, they can get it from another store for you.
Also, if you are told it is a "discontinued" item, that is WRONG. Their system just has not been updated with the distribution. For example, the Chicago area stores still show that as of this morning, but they can get it for you from a different store (have them reference one of the Illinois stores we know has it).
If the store cannot locate it by name, the Best Buy SKU# is: 8899953
All Best Buy stores can locate it by that number.
If you have problems - let us know and we will fix them. Thank you to all our fans and friends for your continued support. We hope this CD will enable us to tour near you and to record another (which we are already working on).
