Explicit lyrics

Krust Kringle fell out of Santa’s sleigh as a baby and was raised by punk elves. His first word was “louder.” Now he runs this station from the reindeer barn: hardcore punk, Oi!, death metal, rap, phonk and screamo Christmas songs, free and live around the clock through December 26.

Sleep

Krust Kringle, Santa's brother: a big, grinning troll-like punk with a white mohawk, pointed ears full of rings, a ring through his red nose and a long white beard, in a battered red Santa suit covered in patches and studs, outside a red barn hung with wreaths and Christmas lights
Krust Kringle, in the reindeer barn

Death metal

Blood Tree

A Christmas tree that was cut down, dragged indoors and stood in a bucket, and now wants revenge. Its weapon is needles.

Hardcore punk

Blitzen

The reindeer who chewed through his harness on Christmas Eve, mid-flight, and joined a band in Krust's barn. He plays bass with his hooves.

Walked off the sleigh halfway through Christmas Eve over the overtime. Rudolph got his spot, and the song.

The Angry Elves in the reindeer barn: eight seconds on a loop, no sound.

A word from his brother

Santa Claus on Alt Xmas

“Krust Kringle? My brother? He's a disgrace to the family. He deserves the coal I leave him every year.”
Hear it: 10 seconds

Santa drops in about every hour and a quarter to disapprove.

Down with Commercialmas

Krust’s slogans

His brother has the mall, Black Friday and the wrapping paper. Krust has a barn and an amp.

  • Fight the power. Don't celebrate Commercialmas, man.
  • Black Friday? Black leather. Stay home.
  • Buy nothing. Play everything.
  • No sleigh. No sponsor. No problem.
  • He sees you when you're shopping. I see you when you're rocking.
  • Smash the toy-industrial complex.
  • Commercialmas is cancelled. Christmas is on the air.
  • Stockings are for punks, not products.
  • Fight the power. Then call your grandma.
