Yule Shoot Your Eye Out!

The Shods are a Boston rock band whose major label debut (their second full-length) was recorded for a label that that went under before the album could be released (though the label's parent company hung onto it for FIVE YEARS before the band was allowed to release it). Their third album, Bamboozled, Jilted, Hornswoggled + Hoodwinked (buy it)—their second to see release—was my introduction to the band in 1998. I swear I could hear that album every day for the rest of my life and it would never get old. I remember vividly that my two favorite rock albums that year were Bamboozled... and Gaunt's Bricks and Blackouts (buy it dirt cheap!). Anyway, the Shods next album, Thanks for Nuthin' (buy it), did not blow me away as completely as Bamboozled... did, but it rocked me nonetheless. Also, it had a Christmas song on it.
