Yay! Keeping their tradition going!

Yay! Looking forward to this. Hope it's an upbeat track this year.

Looking forward to this - where can I hear it? Will it be out at midnight?

Posted by: gavindeejay 1st December 2014, 09:26 PM

Hopefully. They normally do release it straight away

Premiering on Jimmy Fallon tonight at 11.35pm EST, so I think that means about 3.35 in the UK Whether it'll be released to UK iTunes at midnight though, I don't know!

I loved 'Christmas In LA'. I know a lot of people didn't, but I really liked how different it was for a Christmas single!

Posted by: gavindeejay 1st December 2014, 09:47 PM

To be fair all their Christmas singles sound different from each other. The only two that are very similar is 'Don't Shoot Me Santa' and 'I Feel It In My Bones'.

I guess it will come out here tomorrow sometime. Believe it or not this will be their ninth Christmas single. Shame they don't do very well chartwise.

Yep! All of them have been great, imo!

My favourite being 'The Cowboys Christmas Ball' (yes, I know I'm in the very, very small minority! ), with 'Don't Shoot Me Santa' being my 2nd favourite. But like you said, they're all different from each other, so you can't really compare any of them really.

They've always delivered lovely Christmas singles. Sadly radio stations have never bothered backing them

Always look forward to the Christmas Killers single, its great they are keeping the tradition going. Hopefully next year they see sense and release a Christmas album that will have all the Christmas singles, i really felt a Christmas bonus disc should have been added to direct hits when released last year. To date Cowboys Christmas Ball is my fave, i adore it.

They couldn't have put out the Christmas songs with Direct Hits as they're all for charity, but what they could do is release them as a christmas album next year as they'll have 10 songs out by then!



Song is called Joel the Lump of Coal (feat. Jimmy Kimmel).

They did release a digital EP of all the Christmas singles about 2/3 years ago. I'm not sure if it's still available, but it would be good for them to release an updated version as they have released a couple more since then.

That's really lovely!

Posted by: Suedehead2 2nd December 2014, 04:38 PM

Utterly ridiculous but in a good way It has to get into the top forty. After all, I don't think there's been a hit single containing the word anthracite before and it's about time that changed.

Posted by: Juranamo 2nd December 2014, 05:28 PM

Haha, very different. I'll be downloading it.

Posted by: gavindeejay 2nd December 2014, 07:03 PM

Does anyone know when it's out to download in the UK?

Posted by: steve201 2nd December 2014, 09:26 PM

I don't like the lack of announcement of an iTunes release on their twitter - I hope it does as I have them all and want it to chart in my personal top 40 this year!

Here's my yearly Killers Xmas rate -

Boots Yes Gav by far the best effort - a Xmas classic with Its a Wonderful Life in there too
A Great Big Sleigh
Don't Shoot me Santa
I Feel it in my Bones
Joeseph Better you than Me
Christmas in LA
Happy Birthday Guadalupe
