Watch: WU LYF Live on Letterman

Manchester’s WU LYF made their US television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman last night, introducing their music to the audience by playing the unintelligible but passionate “Heavy Pop”, off of 2011’s debut Go Tell Fire to the Mountain. “That talented quartet from Manchester, England” (as Letterman himself put it) even managed to throw in a surprise when frontman Ellery Roberts shouted out, “What up motherf***ers?” to end the track, much to the delight of the audience and to Letterman. Quite an impressive debut.

The Front Bottoms Cover “Christmas Wrapping”

For the holiday season, The Front Bottoms covered The Waitresses‘ classic Christmas song, “Christmas Wrapping” in their own acoustic punk style. If you liked their self titled LP which was released earlier this year, you will definitely enjoy this cover. Brian Sella’s vocals add the emotion that is pretty much expected in any song released by the band. In the spirit of Christmas it is up for free download below, along with a music video created specifically for the song.
