Going solo: Poly Styrene ‘Black Christmas’ single release.

Returning to our sound-systems, the epic 'X-Ray Spex' first lady announces the release of a macabre and 'tongue in cheek' song about our favourite wintery holiday plus, y'know, a sadistic Santa. Just your average Christmas release then.

To be handed out to all and sundry as a free download, Poly wrote and recorded this little number with her daughter Celeste who also sings on the track, after hearing about a man dressed as Santa going on a murderous rampage in LA. Don't be fooled by the time of release, this one will not make you feel all warm and fuzzy with yule-tide greeting!

the track can be downloaded via http://www.poly-styrene.com from the 20th December.

...could be a 'Fairytale of New York' rival!
