“We have a very close connection with the Asbury Park scene,” says singer/guitarist Greg Barnett. “It’s like a second home for the band, and ‘Lookers’ is a little love story about all the fond memories of the times we’ve spent there.”

9. Sharks In The Deep End released a new holiday song.

“Don't Be A Jerk on Christmas” is not only good advice but the new killer tune from the Austin-based new wave punk group Sharks in the Deep End.

Frontman Tucker Jameson noted “‘It’s been a long, long year’ is the opening line of our song and man oh man truer words have never been spoken. With all the mixed emotions coming out of recent events, we used our sense of humor to take a moment to remind everyone, including ourselves, that Christmas and the holidays are a time to come together and appreciate the joys in life.”

Check out the single below.
