Pop Punk Christmas Power Hour? Maybe? Please?

[@ryanbradley1573]

Dude. This would be freaking epic! Mayday Parade does "Baby it's cold outside" xD

[@LeeroyJanky]

"All I Want For Christmas is Pop Punk" (I give permission for Alex to use that title)

[@Eli_The_Bard]

10000000%

[@timsutherland4762]

This would be killer.

[@RoryBecktar]

Yes please! Paramore does I'll Be Home For Christmas as one.....?

[@RealAndySkibba]

Need like 20 more of these songs. Not just 3!

[@ianlee4565]

I love the lyric change “folks dressed up against the cold.” It works so well with the original tune, rhythm, and just general vibe! Add the rock-nature of this and it becomes one of my top favorite Christmas covers.

[@oberobercheckeresc1288]

Spotify told me today, that you’re my #1 artist of this year which shocked me tbh because I only discovered you this summer and actually listen to your music every day (especially the Blink-182 Pop Punk Power Hour) but more on KZbin and not so much on Spotify. But congratulations, I think you really deserve it and keep up the good work 👏 Edit: I looked up again and it says I've listened to you 3254 minutes and that's in the top 0.05%, lol

[@timothy6966]

#3 for me! Very well deserved. Alex is a gem.

[@andrewsparks6532]

Impressed how you took a jazzy song with so many flat 5s and 7s and leveled the progression to suit pop punk. Old and new all at once!

[@jakefrenchtoast]

That drum beat blew my mind, fantastic take on this song Alex 🙌

[@rianelliott1]

I’d pay for a whole album of this…

[@InspireNThrive206]

Right

[@Burnzki]

Warm spirits and warm guitar riffs

[@ryancameron9281]

How dare you take this song and make it rhythmically intricate!?!?! How am I supposed to enjoy any other version of this now...

[@VitaminP]

Alex ended up in my top 5 for my wrapped this year, glad I could help with the numbers!

[@vophie]

whole album !!!!

[@airbmacndeehoc]

I want to hear your take on the Peanuts Christmas Soundtrack… if Vince Guaraldi was shoegaze, post punk, or pop punk.

[@Decoy007]

Best Anuc cover I've heard all year. Great jam.

[@TheSalPic]

POP PUNK CHRISTMAS FOREVER

[@matthewsmith7738]

We need a full Christmas album!

[@WIUBenny35]

I love the over the bar line playing!

[@randybob275]

Reminds me of the Relient K album Let It Snow, Baby... Let It Reindeer

[@joshhand9766]

Fantastic. It’s like I’m a kid again.

[@jonbetts3619]

So good dude! Initially got some Death Cab vibes from the early guitar and drum parts, but more than that, there was a strong Copeland feel to it throughout which is awesome - loved it

[@adamdishongh246]

This is how you write a bass line

[@mattduffyw99]

Every time the bass snuck out of pocket and walked around was so perfect, so tasteful.

[@taylorh4364]

That timing is wild. Freakin loved it tho!

[@tommarkowskimusic]

You're putting out some of my favorite takes on Christmas tunes since August Burns Red. Killer stuff as usual dude

[@brianwalden4012]

Another winner!! Good job.

[@detlefmolt2112]

Alex, the quality of your videos are increasing with each one. I love your content, style, and ovwrall vibe. As a drummer-first musician, it is very inspiring to see what you can imagine and create. Thank you for what you do!!! Cheers! ✌️

[@jenpickell4872]

Wow, great song! You're very talented, can't wait for your whole album!

[@christophertyrrell4018]

You're already on my Christmas playlists from your All I want for emo Christmas cover. Can't wait to get these three songs in the mix.

[@Gez-C]

Yes! Just what I needed ❤

[@dtffishingmi]

Love your stuff man. Never stop!

[@lhall6788]

Love it Alex! Just LOVE IT, MERRY CHRISTMAS SIR 😊

[@omieplumey]

This gave me chills!

[@toxicsquirrelboy]

You are #3 on my most played artists this year. Thanks for the music, man.

[@pauljernigan8409]

Goosebumps bro, bravo.

[@odistabettor]

Love the drumming on this!

[@Daniel.Walker]

You’re my number one artist on Spotify, once again! 3 years in a row 🤘🏻

[@willt178]

You’re the man Alex. Merry Christmas

[@clipsmasterproductions7479]

Letsss goooo!! Dude, you were my top artist on Spotify this year, and I’m in the top 0.01%!! 😃 Love your stuff!! Keep on rocking!!

[@andrewlaflamme1217]

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. Really honors the traditional song with that slow drum beat. Gonna go listen again!

[@ethancole6742]

Always a legend my man. Seriously inspired by you.

[@SaigeLecteur]

Love it! ❤

[@theogsoupaloup]

Every artist does Christmas at the end of their career. Surely this isn't it?

[@MWSBJason]

I made it to top 100 listeners. Love your music dude.

[@hellmasker1]

You were my #5 most listened artist. Keep it up, much love pal

[@derekcoppinger4472]

Thanks for the great music, Alex! I've been listening to you for a while now, and I really enjoy your sound. You definitely were in my top music artists on Spotify this year! Merry Christmas man!

[@hunternielsen9494]

What I would give for a Holiday Album.

[@andresrivera7033]

Just to let you know, you are on my card of my top Spotify artists listened during this 2023!

[@bertusschwemmer4678]

That's awesome!!🍻

[@jaredwagner7471]

Is Ceilings ever going to make it to Spotify? That cover is a masterpiece

[@linesmakeshapes]

YES I think i replayed that cover for hours. It's just full of FEELINGS

[@MewkRS]

Sick feel

[@Xenozfan2]

Jeez, this man doesn't miss!

[@alienpsp8913]

i know this is gonna be very taxing for you Alex, but as a top 0.01% of your top fans on spotify with over 4800minutes together and more on youtube and youtube music, I vote for a full christmas album of your choice, pop punk, emo worship or a mix of everything + a christmas power hour please? I've been a very nice kid this year and this would be a well deserve christmas present

[@mattlagassa9084]

I appreciate the effort, but as someone who claims this song as their favorite Christmas song, I respectfully have to say I don’t think it works in a rock context. It just doesn’t feel right. Nat King Cole captured the perfect energy for this song. Like I said, I still respect the musicianship

[@djboogymonster]

You could just say, “nice job” and move on.

[@mattlagassa9084]

@@djboogymonster but then I wouldn’t be actually expressing my opinion

[@trappedcat3615]

​@@mattlagassa9084I think it's cool you have a different take and perspective. It's good to have unique perspectives on art.

[@SuperMegaCoffeeGuru]

I hope one day you can cover something from Darlene Love's extensive Christmas catalogue, she sings some very upbeat but often maudlin tunes that would mesh really well with the pop punk genre.

You're a great artist. Love your mixes as well. Mix tutorial ?

[@trappedcat3615]

I'm getting Further Seems Forever vibes!

[@BradLowrey]

I generally don't like this song, but this version was great. Loved the complicated drum beat. It made a song that can drone on really interesting. Well done!

[@user-sj4wq2iq2x]

Time for an EMO Christmas album.

[@ivanztube]

OMG THAT SNARE! Oh…

[@haydenmerrick274]

Good job with the lyric change

[@AllTimeLow419]

Although this didn't quite hit for me like most of your stuff does, you are insanely talented as always and that is abundantly clear in everything you make.

[@howardlehwald6287]

LP of Christmas songs! Please!!!

[@JonRC44]

When the album drop homie! #takemymoney

[@ERYN__]

I'm just thinking about "Folks dressed up against the cold" while I'm busy being a third trimester furnace. Everywhere is too hot! I'd love to play Mary if I knew of a church that needed a pregnant Mary who is secretly agnostic.

[@mattw9768]

I'm very familiar with you on Spotify 😂 It told me I was in your top 0.5 percent of listeners! ❤

[@2BoopTheSnoot]

I need a whole Christmas album. I'd listen to that on repeat all December every year.

[@eek2020]

I feel like I want a Vic Fuentes echo/descant on the end of the chorus.

[@ceasarlato1173]

Shake up Christmas plsssssss

[@ClintRay2578]

Have you ever done "I won't be home for Christmas" by Blink 182. I think you can have fun with that... Maybe country style 😂 Don't forget sound of silence punk style 🫣

[@strakhovmixing]

great cover 👍 ps Is this a new microphone? Warm 251?

Hey Alex, I'm your big fan. Can you cover there's no going back by sick puppies please please pleaseeeeeee

My Dad used to sing this when we were kids and he'd always say "Jack frost sniffing at your butt!" I was like who would write such a song like this for Christmas.
