AxemannThirsty - Santa
Rock, Pop
Mt. Pearl, Canada
Overall Impression: AxemannThirsty delivers an all-original Alt. Rock holiday blast with his tune, "Santa"! Deep bass and soaring organ mingle with sleigh bells and jangly guitar work to set the holiday scene, giving rise to AxemannThirsty's gripping, alternating vocals - taking listeners for a wild ride as he moves between light and breezy and full-throated modes of performance in a promise to be "Santa" for the one that needs him!
Strongest Point(s): The tone and style of "Santa" really capture that raucous Christmas energy that began to define the holiday music scene in the 80s and 90s - in the best possible sense! The energy here is bombastic and joyful while still pleasant, made all the more engaging through layered guitars and bright sleigh bells. The walking bass is one of the most powerful players in the sound, both in terms of tone and execution. Great vocal performance all around, and nice lyrics for the occasion. Love ending the tune with an obligatory "Ho, ho, ho!"
Target Audience Appeal: AxemannThirsty's "Santa" is a Christmas-themed thrill ride through bright and boisterous soundscapes - perfect for the season and sure to catch the attention of any who listen in! Fun enough to entertain the children while authentic enough to defy age-based demographics, "Santa" is the perfect addition to your Christmas playlist, and a bold introduction to the creative mind of AxemannThirsty.
Artist target suggestions: Joe Walsh, Steve Miller Band, Eagles, Jackson Browne, Chuck Berry, Twisted Sister, Skid Row, Bryan Adams, Bob Seger, Eels, Sting, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Elvis Presley, The Who, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, John Mellencamp, Dire Straits
