MXPX is a band from Bremerton, Washington. MXPX is a clash between Christian Punk & Pop Punk. According to the band
” MySpace is great. It is the place where everyone goes daily. Everyone’s got a MySpace. Everyone’s on it more than they like to admit. When you click on that MySpace main page, if your band pops up there, people are going to check it out.”

Personally the sound reminds me of a clash between The Beastie Boys & The young Good Charlotte, not to offend them.

Harvey Danger is another band based in Seattle, Washington. They have been around for a while, and of course I am sure most of you all know the song ‘Flagpole Sitta’. If you don’t know it by name, you will know it by hearing it. You can add ‘Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas’ as well as ‘Flagpole Sitta’ on their MySpace Page.

Taking Back Sunday is a band from New York that has been around since 1999 and they are still going strong. The song is great, but the video is where all the fun is. The song you can tell was a pretty stress free and uplifting song compared to many of their other songs. This video is one of the four featured MySpace Christmas Videos this year.

Danger:Radio is an Alternative Funk band, based out of the Edmonds,Washington area. Danger:Radio played Bumbershoot, Bamboozle, and is rapidly increasing their audience, and now draws a steady 5,000+ plays a day on MySpace. You can click the above link and get a free download of their Christmas Song!

Death Cab is once again ANOTHER band from Seattle. I suppose Seattle bands have quite a nice taste of Christmas, regardless of the fact that Seattle hasn’t had a white Christmas in about 10 years! This video is an Amateur video added a couple weeks ago, I find the video quite good actually, as well as the song.

This video is meant to be listened to, not watched. The reason why this is number 4, is because of the rising tension in the song, compared to all of the other versions of this cover. I feel Relient K turned this song around and made it all their own. It isn’t very rockish either, it is pretty Christmas-like and very poppy. I like the twist they have on this song.

According to many people, Michael Buble’s cover of ‘The Christmas Song’ has more enthusiasm and pizazz than Crosby’s original version. The video above is nothing special, but it is the music that you must listen to. Michael Buble put out a Christmas Album ‘Let It Snow’.

This video is great, the song is wonderful. I need to try and cover all genres, and I feel this video hit the top in humor. The song makes you want to hum along, and it actually gets you in the Christmas spirit. The lyrics are Christmasy, and its an all around humorific video.

The Raveonettes are number one because of the passion you can hear in the song, the dramatic lyrics as well as how the instruments are Holiday-like. The Raveonettes are based out of New York, and have grown dramatically in the past 5 years. This song has been seen on thousands of MySpace profiles, and The Raveonettes have increased the song play dramatically as well as have moved much higher on the Top MySpace Artists list once they put this song on their MySpace.

WARPED TOUR

Warped Tour has a great lineup this year, but varies in most areas. Every area will get to enjoy Angels & Airwaves, which is the headliner. Depending on your area you may even get to see… *gasp* JEFFREE STAR!! Danger Radio, sadly along with Cute is What We Aim for, is on a tour which you can most likely catch as well!

If you are wondering about warped tour, you can go to Warped Tour.com’s Dates Section and see if you missed it. If you are in the upper half of the United States it isn’t too late! California gets to enjoy Warped Tour returning back as well for a second trip in 2008!

Do you live in Colorado, California, Texas, Arizona? Roughly in that area? Well if you are a die hard Colbie or John Mayer fan I highly suggest you check this tour out. Two of the hottest artists in the pop/rock category at this time in the same venue!? Yeah, hot stuff, extremely hot stuff. Too bad I am all the way up here in Seattle!

DOWNLOAD Cute is What We Aim For - The Curse of Curves

Galaxie 500 - Fourth of July

This song involves the festive spirit along with the perfect background music for when you pop open your Coronas or Henry Weinhard Bottled Rootbeers. Check out the YouTube video for yourself!! They also have a few other great songs on their MySpace!

Just Jack - Starz in Their Eyes

A house-ish UK type of dance music which will surely grasp your audience right before they take the first bite out of their grilled hot dog / veggie dog. Just Jack has a sound similar to a funky version of The Streets remixed by a DJ with some techno-ish beats. If you want to check it out just click the above video!

Albert Hammond Jr. - 101

Albert Hammond Jr. is a member of ‘The Strokes’… bassist rather. He boasts a sound in which relieves the troubled soul with an attached guitar and drum set. ‘101′ is a song about returning to home… returning home for the holidays? You decide, just watch the video!

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

That video is not the official video but these videos MSbands.com is posting right here isn’t meant for your viewing pleasure but rather for your sense of sound. This song is pretty much perfect for the intro to your fireworks show. It involves the electro/firework beats as well as the song has lyrics involving stars, sky and absence of a loved one… which is SO perfect for the activities of fireworks, right?

Jack Johnson is a perfect selection when it comes to pretty much any kind of “shindig”. This song especially just celebrates a great climax to a wonderful day/night. “We will sing and dance… I don’t want this feeling to go away…”. Just great lyrics for a perfect day… I can’t say much more… except if you have a projector then this would be a great video to blast for everyone to see.
