Kill Rock Starts has teamed up with friends of the label for It's Hard To Dance When It's Cold And There's No Music:
Kill Rock Stars Winter Holiday Album Volume 2, a 15 years after the original follow-up to Volume 1.
The 14-track compilation of holiday themed muck includes Caleb Nichols, God Is My Co-Pilot AF, Foxx Bodies, Desert Mambas, and more.
Available on a pay-what-you-will scale, the label says to expect a new collection every 15 years, so be ready in 2036.
In other label news, the Kill Rock Stars celebrated its 30th anniversary all year long, with over 60 covers of classic tracks released through the year. A wrap-up is online. And SPB caught up with the label to talk about some classic albums as well.
