BOYR!OT Release The Ultimate Anti-Christmas Single With “I Hate The Holdiays”
After jumping in headfirst at the beginning of their career, now is the perfect time to move this talented duo into your rotation. On our latest peek into the alternative world we are checking out “ALL THE BEST, JESS!”, the latest drop from BOYR!OT. BOYR!OT, comprised of Greg Driscoll and Brendan Eprile, is a Los Angeles-based band known for their “edgy chaotic queerdos” persona. They blend the raw energy of 2000s pop-punk with contemporary electronic elements, resonating with outcasts and nonconformists. Their debut single, “MA!N CHARACTER,” produced by Marky Style and Taylor Morrow and mixed by Justin Hergett, serves as a powerful anthem of self-acceptance and defiance against societal norms, signaling their imminent rise in the music scene.
Alt-rock band BOYR!OT’s third single, “I Hate The Holidays,” is a satirical anti-holiday anthem that offers a rebellious take on the forced cheer of the season. Produced by NKLAI, the track is a punk-rock critique of Christmas, with sharp, witty lines like “I never had Christmas cheer, more like Christmas fear” and “Baruch Atah Adonai, this season makes me wanna die.” It resonates with those who feel alienated by the holiday season, particularly Jews who feel sidelined, and with anyone tired of the predictable holiday music cycle. The song’s irreverent tone mocks the clichés of holiday cheer while embracing the frustration that many experience during family gatherings and seasonal expectations.
Despite its cynicism, the song carries an underlying message of love and connection, ending with the line, “I hate the holidays, but at least I’m with you.” This timely release follows the band’s successful earlier singles, “ALL THE BEST, JESS!” and “MA!N CHARACTER,” which helped them gain attention from outlets like Entertainment Tonight and NME. “I Hate The Holidays” taps into the mood of a challenging year and presents a refreshing alternative to traditional holiday tunes, making it an anthem for the disillusioned and the misunderstood.
