“This year I sat down with the intention of writing something upbeat, melodic and shredtastic,” bassist Dustin Davidson says.
“When I decided to cover 'Last Christmas,' I kept in mind that most people only know the chorus of the song. I didn't want to recreate something word for word, or note by note, so I took the main hook and built a bunch of original ideas around it. The lyrics to Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' are very sad, so if you're feeling lonely this holiday season, I hope this cover finds you well.”
Give “Last Christmas” a listen below:
The song will be available for purchase at 9 p.m. PST, or midnight EST, here.
Last year, the group released a rendition of “What Child Is This? (Greensleeves)”—and we already can't wait to see the song they decide to cover next year!
