The sticky sweetness of holiday songs getting you down? The Stepford Five has recorded a Christmas tune that's a bit more down to earth.
This Christmas speaks to the loneliness of spending the holidays alone. Singer/guitarist/sleigh bell maestro Keith Jenkins takes on a weary melancholy as he sings, "This Christmas, stop me from falling apart."
The CD also features two acoustic songs: Need To Know and Broken Skin, recorded live on-air in Otterbein University's WOBN studio. The album is destined to be a collector's item - the band only pressed 100 copies, and they're only available online or at the Five's shows.
Proceeds from the "Limbs and Light" benefit will provide support cash for Miles Smiley, a Canadian man who will be driving a truck filled with medical supplies and artificial limbs to Nicaragua to give to landmine victims. Smiley is on his way to Texas for a New Year's Eve fundraiser and then he's heading to Central America.
