Ingenious Devices have put together a lyric video for their latest holiday cover; “The Chipmunk Song.”
The NJ-based pop-punk all-stars have previously gotten together annually for a Christmas cover, this year adding to “The Chipmunk Song” their first original holiday track “WAR ON XMAS!”
Ingenious Devices feature current and former members of Hidden in Plain View, John Connor, Madison and Broken Waves along with new addition Jolly Ubriaco of Just Surrender. This year’s release, as in years past, is mastered by John Nacliero who has credits including My Chemical Romance, Shai Hulud and Brand New.
Download both tracks off of the Ingenious Devices Bandcamp page along with the band’s previous releases.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
