Santa Claus Is a Commie

Hey Zoo Freaks, fire up the yule log and lock your chimneys 'cause we're howlin' through Santa Claus Is a Commie by the HELLROYS from their rowdy holiday single – this twangy takedown's got ol' Kris Kringle as a red-dressin' elf-labor boss sneakin' Chinese toys and liberal swag down your flue! Dropped right on Black Friday 2022 – the holy day of capitalism, baby! – the Hellroys teased it on X with "Dresses all in red, lives in a forced labor commune up north…hey, Santa’s a GD commie! About time somebody said it!" Picture Daddy sippin' 90-proof rye, deer rifle ready: "Keep your reindeer off my roof!" Pure dumb country noise roastin' the jolly fat man as a border-jumpin' spy – they've been crankin' the lyric video every December since, perfect for your anti-elf ammo stash, man!

Windin' back to the wild origins of these heartland hellraisers, Zoo Crew style. Straight outta Hatchetgash, Arkansas (by way of Hilliard, Ohio), the HELLROYS kicked off their rampage in 2014 with Dumb Country Noise (Remastered), slingin' comedy gold like Wedding at Walmart and Outlaws Don’t Read that had folks belly-laughin' from the get-go. They hightailed north, started a snake-handlin' church (75% casualty rate, ouch!), did time, then busted out to become America's favorite Country-Midwestern troubadours – Mojo Nixon spun 'em non-stop on SiriusXM Outlaw Country, landin' 'em essential album nods and over a million streams of their chaotic americana-rockabilly brew.

Hoist a flask to the pack, freaks – raid the official HELLROYS headquarters for tour deets, merch like trucker hats, and previews of their fifth album Milk Milk Lemonade (featurin' Ted Nugent Shit His Pants!). Chase the chaos on Facebook, Instagram, X (@the_hellroys), or grab tracks at Bandcamp. No separate fan dens yet, but their pages are packin' the tribe – dive in, share the howl, and keep Santa's sleigh grounded!
