Pop punk heroes MxPx are spreading the Christmas cheer with their new single, “Hold Your Tongue And Say Apple,” complete with a Christmas carol–themed animated video.
Frontman Mike Herrera says of the new single:
‘Hold Your Tongue and Say Apple’ accidentally has immaturity and wisdom all baked into one happy, messed-up message … but it’s coming from a fun place. A song my kids won’t hear because I don’t want to have to tell them what an asshole is and that no, even though Dad says it, A- hole is not really a nice name to call your teacher! In case you missed it, the A-hole can be all of us—but mainly, it was me.”
Along with the holiday song, MxPx have added new, limited edition items to their merch arsenal—including an “ugly” Christmas Sweater featuring the one-and-only Pokinatcha Punk. They’ve also announced their annual Holiday Live Show on the internet on December 23.
Just last week, MxPx surprised their fans with the online release of their new live album Southbound to San Antonio—a 23-track live album recorded at their final show before the 2020 pandemic. The band then thrilled fans by announcing their return to the live stage in 2022, starting with Anaheim, CA on April 1st and Phoenix, AZ on April 2 with more to be announced soon.
