Christmas was formed in 1969 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, out of the ashes of the cult underground psychedelic band Reign Ghost. In July 1970, Christmas released an independent self-titled debut that brought some media attention to the band and a contract with the Daffodil Records label. In December 1970, less than six months after the release of the debut, Christmas released their debut Daffodil Records album entitled Heritage. Christmas was comprised of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bob Bryden, bass Tyler Raizenne, drummer Rich Richter, and Robert Bulger on guitars, all of whom were still in their teens. The album gathered good reviews and was well received by critics but it was not commercially viable because the long songs and hard rock sound. It became an instant favorite in the underground music scene just about everywhere but in Canada. Despite the international response to the album, Heritage proved to be the last release by the band under the name Christmas due to management problems and difficulty with the direction of the next album. Consequently, Christmas broke up in late 1971 only to resurface the following year, lineup intact, under the name the Spirit of Christmas.

Trouble Again (Droids Theme Song) by MEGASHAUN
From his website...
This is a cover of the theme song to the cartoon, Droids. According to Wikipedia, that Internet resource of knowledge that is never wrong*, the song was originally performed by Stewart Copeland of the Police and written by Copeland and Derek Holt.
I do not own the rights to the song, but hey, it's a cover!
I find this song a little hard to sing without using my "growly" voice so instead I opted to attempt some form of harmonizing.
I recorded this entirely on August 15, 2011 using my netbook, Reaper, a Korg Monotribe, Korg Kaoss Pad Quad, Korg Kronos Music Workstation, and a Samson Meteor Mic for the vocals. My band, Cobra, does a cover of this song in our live show whenever our guitarist breaks a string.
