The New Bardots Want To Remind You That "Santa Don't Like Politics"

originally published: 12/10/2021


Just in time for the holidays is a reminder that "Santa Don't Like Politics" - that's the title of a new Christmas song by The New Bardots.  The song is featured on the Holiday Music album series release "Let's Have a Rockin Christmas Vol. 6" (Bongo Boy Records).

Wanting to catch the wave of political satire for the second year in a row, The New Bardots put down this fun, retro, rock & roll ditty with the hope of bringing us all together (no matter what your political leanings) for the Holiday season.

With another seasonal playlist of Christmas tunes upon us, The New Bardots hope to change it up a bit and bring a fresh new dish to the same old overstuffed holiday music table.

Coming back together from their early roots of the NYC music scene (CBGB's, Max's Kansas City, China Club) to write and record together again. Lifelong friends and former band mates, Gar Francis, Wayne Olivieri (Rockids), former band mate Dan Skye (Olivier's Twist) and new drummer Johnny Rago are four New Jersey veterans out to save Rock and Roll from extinction!

"Santa Don't Like Politics" is available for purchase online for under a dollar. The complete "Let's Have a Rockin' Christmas Vol. 6" compilation is available for purchase for $12.97.
