Los Straitjackets | Complete Christmas Songbook

Everyone's favorite wrestling-masked surf-rockers hang 10 for the holidays, bruh.

Yes, Los Straitjackets are doing some regifting. But at least they’re being up-front about it. Complete Christmas Songbook, the holiday collection from everyone’s favourite wrestling-masked surf-rockers, compiles both of the instrumental oddballs’ Christmas albums — that would be 2002’s widely available ’Tis the Season for Los Straitjackets and 2009’s rarer limited-edition offering Yuletide Beat. Plus you get their 2011 holiday single of Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Silver Bells, their compilation contribution Holiday Twist (with El Vez on vocals) and a ska-flecked live version of Linus & Lucy from 2015. If all that doesn’t deliver enough twang and bang to make Santa ditch the red velvet for a Hawaiian shirt, dump the sled for a dune buggy and hit the beach to hang 10, nothing will. Cowabunga and jingle all the way, bruh.
