Xmas Instruments: Bells (pt. 3)

Part three’s weirder stuff.

The Boy Least Likely To indies sl-o-o-w pop into the form of “It Will Still be Christmas.” The bells liven the festivities considerably.

Ponderously slow bluesrock marks Waylan St. Palan & The Magic Elves’ “Bells of St. Ignatius.” The sax saves it.

Les Fradken’s “Jangle Bells” makes a rock pop party out of the instrumentality of those fabricated metal pieces. Boss.

Party rock from Sam Scola utilizes the “The Christmas Bells are Ringing” as message and lyrics over and over. You’ll get it.

Watered down rock (for elder Boomers?) from Ginger Cat (feat. Eric Mullins) dampens “Sleigh Bells.” When they say Go, Cat, Go–i think they mean some intrusive tabby wandering through the rehearsal.

Pop music mashed with a rock through line punches up Ohio City Players’ “The Ringing of the Bells.” You have my permission to sing-along.

Just a bit punk, “Jingle Bells Rock” is Dude York slamming on the ‘caster. I’m having fun now.

Reverb punk and distortion from Song Boys destroy the joy of when “Slay Bells Ring.” Ouch.

Robert Blake (not that one, the ‘Dr. Bob’ one) wants to “Make Those Jingle Bells Rock.” He may not make them rock, but he makes them roll under the couch where you can’t reach.

Just a bit rap, “Jingle Jangle” is Yarou (feat. Sydney Smithmartin) classing up the joint with funk.

Sean Cole the Outlaw raps that merry monotone about suffering in “Ringing Like Bells.” That’s his phone, dawg. BLUE ALERT

Hoarse rap from Hard Call Christmas shows us how to rock “My Christmas Bells.” Harsh.

Millennial musings from Lorena Leigh include Southwestern climes, hence “Navidad Bells.” The voice is strong in this one indie.

Indie folk from Krisp and the Kringles warbles out the message of “Bells of Peace.” Get to it, wudja?

A Fine Frenzy can’t make sense of a distant family reuniting for the holidays. They recommend ringing bells to “Wish You Well.” Pretty indie pop.

Make Like Monkeys declare “I Love You Jingle Bells” with the coolest of retro rock. A bit obsessive.
