U.K. pop-punk band Royals puts the scene in the holiday spirit with the release of its cover of Ariana Grande’s hit “Santa Tell Me.” The Southampton up-and-comers inject their fresh sound into one of the modern era’s most popular holiday tracks.
“It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a couple of years now, and we knew when we were ready to bring some extra Christmas spirit to the pop punk scene that ‘Santa Tell Me’ would be the one,” the band’s frontman Luke Smithson says.
For fans longing for the old Punk Goes Christmas albums, Royals fills the void perfectly. The smootly crafted track bounces and rips, interlaced with a whimsical holiday touches. Smithson’s vocals are on point. An explosive finish showcases the band’s insane musical prowess.
The track is a reminder of why Royals is one of pop-punk’s purest flag bearers.
“It felt like the perfect canvas to lay our style over, “ Smithson continues.
Now that you are in the holiday spirit, you can find Royals merch to put under the tree here.
